Instagram carousel maker
Design Instagram carousel posts in the 4:5 portrait size that fills the feed. Choose a template, edit each slide on the canvas, keep your handle on every slide, and download all the slides as numbered PNGs in one ZIP, ready to post in order.
How to use the Carousel Maker
- 1Pick a template such as Tips list, Step by step or Myth vs fact, and a size: square, portrait or LinkedIn PDF.
- 2Paste an outline in the Outline panel to create one slide per heading, or edit the sample slides directly on the canvas.
- 3Click any text, shape or photo to edit it. Drag to move, use the handles to resize, and undo with Ctrl/⌘ Z. Your draft saves itself in this browser.
- 4Set your name, handle and photo for the footer, choose the slide counter and swipe arrow, then export a PDF for LinkedIn or a ZIP of PNGs for Instagram.
Frequently asked questions
Do all slides in an Instagram carousel need the same size?
Yes. Instagram crops every slide to the shape of the first one, so this tool keeps all slides at the same size. Portrait 1080 × 1350 is the most popular because it takes up more of the screen.
How do I post the PNGs as one carousel?
Unzip the download, then in Instagram tap + → Post, tap the multiple-selection icon and pick the slides in number order (slide-01, slide-02 …) before you add your caption.
Why do carousels get more saves on Instagram?
People save posts they want to come back to, and a carousel packs a full guide into one post. Each swipe also counts as time spent on your post, which helps it reach more people.
