Instagram Carousel Maker

About the Instagram Carousel Maker

Instagram Carousel Maker cuts one wide image into a sequence of equal slides that line up seamlessly when someone swipes through your post. Choose a slide size and the number of slides, position the image in the live preview, and export every slide at full resolution.

The preview shows exactly where each cut falls, with numbered slides, so you can move the image until faces, text and products are not split awkwardly. Slides are created on your device as JPG or PNG files — the tool does not connect to Instagram, log in, or post anything.

How to use

1. Upload one image — a panorama, a wide design or a group photo works best.
2. Choose a slide size (Square 1080 × 1080, Portrait 1080 × 1350, Landscape 1080 × 566, or Custom) and the number of slides from 2 to 10.
3. Drag the image in the preview, use the arrow keys, or use the position sliders to choose the visible region. Zoom in to crop tighter, or zoom out to fit the whole image on a background colour.
4. Pick JPG or PNG and click Generate slides.
5. Download slides one by one or click Download All as ZIP, then post them on Instagram in the numbered order.

Key features

• Presets for square, portrait and landscape slides, plus a custom size from 100 to 4000 px.
• Any slide count from 2 to 10, with dashed cut lines and slide numbers in the live preview.
• Drag-to-position, keyboard nudging, position sliders, zoom and a “Center & fill” shortcut.
• Background colour for any empty area when you zoom out to fit the whole image.
• High-quality JPG (adjustable 60–100%) or PNG export at the exact slide dimensions.
• Numbered file names and a ZIP that contains exactly the generated slides, in order.

Best practices

• Start with an image that is at least as wide as the full strip (for example 3240 px wide for three 1080 px slides) so nothing has to be enlarged.
• Keep important details — faces, headlines, logos — away from the dashed cut lines.
• Use portrait 1080 × 1350 slides when you want the post to take up more of the feed on phones.
• Use the same slide size for every image in a carousel; mixed sizes can be cropped by the app.
• Check Instagram’s current carousel limits before posting, as slide counts and sizes can change.

Benefits

• Creates a smooth swipe-through panorama without design software.
• Your photo never leaves your device.
• Exact pixel sizes, so slides are not unexpectedly cropped or blurred.
• Correct order guaranteed by numbered file names inside the ZIP.
