This free Instagram carousel splitter cuts one wide picture into the slides of a carousel, so the picture runs on as people swipe.
It cuts in 4:5, 3:4 or square, up to Instagram's 20 slides, and lets you swipe it before you post.
Here's what a seamless carousel is, which shape to cut, and how to post it.
What is an Instagram carousel splitter?
An Instagram carousel splitter, also called a panorama splitter, is a tool that cuts one wide picture into slides of the same size.
Posted together as one carousel, the slides join up edge to edge as people swipe.
How to make a seamless carousel
The tool suggests the number of slides that fits your picture's shape. You can change it.
Which shape to cut
4:5- Size
- 1,080 × 1,350
- Good to know
- Works in the app and in scheduling tools
3:4- Size
- 1,080 × 1,440
- Good to know
- The tallest, and it matches the grid. Post it from the app
Square- Size
- 1,080 × 1,080
- Good to know
- The classic look, and the shortest on screen
Scheduling tools post through Meta's API, which takes 4:5 at the tallest. So cut 4:5 if you schedule the carousel.
How many slides
Instagram takes up to 20 photos and videos in one carousel. A panorama needs one slide for each slide-width of picture.
So a picture 5 times as wide as a 4:5 slide makes 5 slides. The tool works this out from your picture.
What size your picture should be
For 5 slides of 4:5, use a picture of at least 5,400 by 1,350 pixels. Each slide needs 1,080 pixels of width.
A smaller picture still works, but the slides get blown up and look soft. The tool tells you the size it needs.
Post the slides in order
Pick the slides in order, 01 first, when you make the post. Instagram keeps the order you pick.
A grid puzzle is a grid
A picture that fills your profile instead of one post is a grid puzzle. The free Instagram grid maker cuts it for the 3:4 grid.
