How to make a photo dump carousel people swipe through
- 1
Curate even a dump
A photo dump looks easy but works best with some order: start with the strongest photo, mix close and wide, and end with something that makes people smile.
- 2
Let the grid do the work
Grids and rolls fit many photos per slide, so you can share 10 to 20 photos without making people swipe through 20 slides.
- 3
Know the slide limit
Free accounts make carousels of up to 8 slides; VIP goes to Instagram’s limit of 20. The photo count and the slide count are listed on every design.

FAQ
Photo dump Instagram carousels, answered
How many photos can I post in one Instagram carousel?
Instagram allows up to 20 slides in one carousel. With a grid design you can put more than one photo on a slide; these designs hold from 10 to 20 photos.
What is a photo dump?
A post of many loosely related photos from a period, a weekend or a month, shared together. The designs here lay them out in grids, rolls and walls so a dump still looks made.
Are these photo dump carousel templates free?
Postora Swipe is free to download, and 9 of the 13 photo dump designs are free to use. The other 4 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 photo dump template?
Install Postora Swipe from Google Play, open the 10+ photos 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.
