How to make a birthday carousel people swipe through
- 1
Start with the group shot
Put the photo with everyone in it on the first slide; it is the one people stop for. Candid photos follow nicely after it.
- 2
Use the details
Cakes, decorations and gifts make great small frames between the people shots, and they say what the day was without words.

Rewrite the date and the names
Change the sample text to the name, the age or the occasion and the date, so the post works as a keepsake as well.

FAQ
Birthday Instagram carousels, answered
Can I use these for a birthday post?
Yes. Most celebration designs are made with birthdays in mind: confetti, guest lists and party walls. Change the name and the age in the text.
How do I fit all the party photos in one post?
Choose a design that holds as many photos as you have, from 2 up to 16 here, or see the 10+ photos category for bigger photo dumps.
Are these birthday carousel templates free?
Postora Swipe is free to download, and 6 of the 8 birthday designs are free to use. The other 2 are VIP designs, marked with a crown. Free accounts make carousels of up to 8 slides and export full size with a small mark, after a short ad; VIP unlocks every design, carousels of up to 20 slides and exports without the mark or ads.
What size are the slides?
Each slide is 1080 × 1350 pixels (4:5), the portrait size Instagram shows biggest in the feed. The app cuts the design into slides that line up exactly, so the picture continues as people swipe.
How do I use a birthday template?
Install Postora Swipe from Google Play, open the Celebrate designs and pick one, or choose your photos first and the app shows every design that fits them. Long-press to reorder the photos, tap any text to rewrite it, then preview the post and share it to Instagram.
