What Is a Seamless Instagram Carousel?

A seamless carousel is a series of images that flow continuously from one slide to the next without a visible break. By splitting a single wide panoramic photo into multiple square or portrait segments, you encourage users to swipe left to see the full picture, which signals high engagement to the Instagram algorithm.

How to Split an Image into Carousel Slides

  1. Upload: Choose a wide image (panorama) or any high-resolution photo.
  2. Settings: Select the number of slides (e.g., 3) and the aspect ratio (Square or Portrait).
  3. Adjust: Drag and zoom to position your image within the preview strip. Ensure key subjects aren't cut in half awkwardly.
  4. Download: Click to get a ZIP file containing your numbered slides.

Best Sizes for Instagram

For standard posts, use 1080x1080 (Square). For maximum visibility, use 1080x1350 (Portrait 4:5). Our tool handles the math for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many slides can an Instagram carousel have?
Instagram allows up to 10 slides per carousel post. Our tool currently supports splitting an image into 2 to 5 slides, which is ideal for most panoramic shots.
Does this tool upload my photo?
No. All image splitting happens locally in your web browser using HTML5 Canvas. Your photos never leave your device.
Which size is best: 1:1 or 4:5?
We recommend the Portrait (4:5) ratio (1080x1350px) because it takes up more vertical screen space on mobile devices, grabbing more attention than a square (1:1) post.
Can I reposition the crop before exporting?
Yes. After uploading, you can drag the image to center your subject and zoom in or out to fit the carousel frame perfectly.
Why do carousel edges not align sometimes?
This usually happens if the upload order is wrong or if Instagram compresses the image differently. Our tool ensures pixel-perfect cuts. Make sure to upload the slides in the correct numerical order (01, 02, 03...).
