Templates

Instagram carousel templates that look designed, not DIY

Every Instagram carousel maker template is a finished design with matched fonts and colours, built the way carousels get swiped to the end: a hook on slide one, one point per slide, a clear ask at the close. Tap any cover to load it into the carousel maker. Pro templates wear a crown, and anyone can try them.

Themes and layouts

Every carousel maker theme fits every layout

Pick a theme in the bar and watch every layout below change at once. Covers, lists, charts, do-and-don't cards, phone mockups: mix them freely, and the carousel maker keeps them in one look.

Full editor

When a template is not quite you, open the full editor

The Instagram carousel maker keeps it to four steps. The full editor, one click away, changes everything else, and keeps your words and photos as you go.

Seamless carousel

Turn one wide photo into a seamless carousel

A panorama lets people explore a wide photo across several slides. Give the Instagram carousel maker one wide photo and it lays the picture across 2 to 10 slides, so every edge meets the next.

  • The carousel maker picks the slide count from your photo's shape.
  • Add a caption to slide one in the carousel maker; the rest stays pure photo.
  • The carousel maker warns you if the photo is too small for sharp slides.

    Every change can be taken back, and your carousel saves on this device as you go.

Sizes

The right carousel size for every app

The carousel maker defaults to 1080 × 1350 slides. The full editor also offers square and 9:16 exports; these are tool presets, not a promise that every platform will display them without cropping. Tap an app to see its shape, slide limit and file type. For document posts, follow the LinkedIn PDF publishing steps.

Portrait 4:5 is this tool’s default export. Every slide of one post is cropped to the first slide's shape, so keep them all the same size, as the Instagram carousel maker does.

FAQ

Instagram carousel maker FAQ

Want a 3×3 profile wall instead? The Instagram grid maker cuts one photo into numbered tiles, and the image splitter cuts any picture into halves, tiles or print pages. Every step of the carousel maker is in the help center.

Is this Instagram carousel maker free?

Yes. Use the Instagram carousel maker as often as you like with the free templates, no sign-up and no limit. Free downloads from the carousel maker carry a small "Made with InstaGridMaker" line on the last slide. Pro and Lifetime remove that line and unlock every Pro template.

When should I use a carousel instead of a single photo?

Use a carousel when an idea needs several steps, a comparison or a sequence of photos. Use a single image when one picture says enough. Templates help organise the sequence; the tool does not guarantee saves, reach or engagement.

Do you upload my photos?

No. The carousel maker draws every slide in your browser, so your words and photos never leave your device. Your last carousel is saved on this device only, so you can come back and edit it.

What size are the slides?

The carousel maker defaults to 1080 × 1350 pixels (4:5). The full editor also exports 1080 × 1080 (1:1) and 1080 × 1920 (9:16). These are export dimensions, not on-screen sizes. Keep one size throughout a carousel and check the destination platform preview.

Can the carousel maker make a LinkedIn PDF carousel?

Yes. Press PDF for LinkedIn and the carousel maker saves every slide as one page of a PDF. On LinkedIn, start a post, choose Add a document, upload the PDF and give it a title.

How do I make a seamless carousel from one photo?

Press Start from one wide photo in the carousel maker and pick a panorama. It is laid across 2 to 10 slides, depending on how wide it is, so the picture flows on when people swipe. Add a caption to the first slide, then download.

How do I post a carousel on Instagram?

On your phone, tap Save to Photos in the Instagram carousel maker. In Instagram, tap +, choose Post, tap the multiple-photos icon and pick the slides in order, slide 1 first. The Instagram carousel maker names the files in that order, and up to 20 slides fit in one post.

Can I change fonts and colours?

Yes. Each carousel maker template comes finished, so most people only change the words and photos. For more, press Open in full editor: the carousel editor changes fonts, colours, layouts, backgrounds and your branding on every slide, and keeps your words.

Can I save my brand for the next carousel?

Yes. In the full editor, add your profile photo, name, handle, colours and fonts under Brand and press Save brand kit after signing in. Next time, Apply puts them on any carousel maker template. Kits are kept in this browser on this device.

Which layouts can a slide have?

Covers, number hooks, section breaks, text, photos, quotes, numbered lists, checklists, timelines, TL;DR recaps, side-by-side and do-and-don't cards, big stats, column charts, phone mockups and a follow-for-more ending. Every carousel maker theme works with all of them.

Does the Instagram carousel maker work on iPhone and Android?

Yes. The Instagram carousel maker runs in any modern mobile browser and opens iPhone HEIC photos. On a phone, the carousel maker’s Save to Photos button puts the slides straight into your camera roll, ready to post.
