Instagram carousel templates

An Instagram carousel holds up to 20 images in one post. Saves and shares are what lift a carousel, so reference-style posts and tips that people want to keep do well.

What works on Instagram

  • Post at 4:5 portrait: taller pictures are cropped to it in the feed.
  • Keep it under 20 slides, and make the first one readable at a glance.
  • Only about 125 characters of the caption show before “more”.
  • End on a slide that asks for a save or a reply.
