A Carousel Is a Short Story
The cover slide does the work
Only the first slide appears in the feed, so it has to promise something worth swiping for. The Carousel Cover layout is built around one large headline and a visual cue to keep going.
Every slide the same shape
Instagram crops all slides to the ratio of the first one. The app gives every carousel slide the same 1080×1350 portrait canvas, so nothing gets trimmed unexpectedly.
One point per slide
Instagram allows up to 20 slides, but readers drop off when slides are crowded. The Tips List and Minimal Mono layouts hold one point each, in type large enough to read without zooming.
Consistent by design
Keep the same background, fonts, and margins on each slide and change only the text and images. Each element is a layer, so swapping content does not disturb the layout.
Carousel Slide Sizes
Portrait Slide (App Default)
1080 × 1350
Maximum feed height; every slide inherits this ratio.
Square Slide
1080 × 1080
An option if your grid is all squares.
