Step-by-Step Guide: How to Make a Carousel on Instagram

Learn how to make an Instagram carousel post with our simple guide. Share multiple photos and videos in one post easily, even if you’re new to Instagram.

What is an Instagram Carousel Post?

An Instagram carousel post allows you to share multiple pictures or videos in just one post. This means you can share more of your moments, stories, or products in a single swipeable gallery, offering a richer storytelling experience without flooding your follower's feed.


Why Choose Instagram Carousel Posts?

  • Share More in One Post
  • Tell Deeper Stories
  • Showcase Several Products
  • Create Engaging Content

Carousel posts are excellent for when you want to share more than just one moment. They let you show different angles of a product, tell a story that unfolds with each swipe, or share multiple highlights without creating lots of separate posts.


How to Create an Instagram Carousel Post?

Crafting a carousel post on Instagram is not only straightforward but also a fun way to share more with your audience. Let's dive into a simple, step-by-step guide:

  • Open Instagram:
  • Start by opening your Instagram app. Tap on the '+' icon, which is usually at the bottom of your screen, to start creating a new post.

  • Select Carousel:
  • Look for the carousel icon, which might look like stacked squares or layers, and select it. Now, choose up to 20 images or videos that you wish to share in a single post.

  • Edit and Arrange:
  • Take a moment to edit each image or video to your liking. You can add filters, adjust brightness, and make other changes. Also, ensure to arrange them in the order you want your viewers to see them.

  • Write a Caption:
  • Compose a catchy and engaging caption for your post. Feel free to use emojis for expression and include relevant hashtags to enhance the discoverability of your post.

  • Post:
  • Once everything looks good and you’re happy with your carousel, tap 'Share' to post it to your Instagram feed.

After posting, swipe through your carousel to ensure it appears as desired, and stay active in responding and engaging with your friends and followers who interact with your post!
