An Instagram carousel post is a post containing more than one photo or video – a carousel can go up to 10 pieces of content. Users can view it simply by swiping left on the post on Instagram\u2019s mobile app. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reels might be the trendiest thing on Instagram now, but carousels are still thriving on the platform. As a matter of fact, carousels are the key to sustaining engagement because they get your audience to stop scrolling and start swiping. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Pixlr<\/a>, you can easily create beautiful carousel posts for your personal brand or your business. In this tutorial, we\u2019ll show you how to achieve the ultimate Instagram carousel experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Go to Pixlr Templates<\/h3>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/a>
Head to Pixlr Templates, here<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Go to Pixlr E<\/a>, click on Templates<\/em> and select Instagram Post<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a>
Head to Pixlr Templates, here<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Once you select Instagram Post<\/a>, you will see a huge array of colorful, beautifully made templates, ranging from minimal geometric styles to nature-inspired designs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, all you have to do is…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Choose a suitable template<\/h3>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/a>
Head to Pixlr Templates, here<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

You\u2019d need to choose the right template that matches your personal brand or business, or a template that aligns with your posting objective. Ask yourself, are you posting the carousel to announce a promotion? Are you dropping a sneak peek of your new collection? Or are you simply posting a photo dump?  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Pixlr templates<\/a> normally come in matching thematic sets (such as the ones shown above) so they can be easily adapted and turned into a seamless Instagram carousel post. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, once you\u2019ve chosen your template, we may move on to the next step\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Insert your own images<\/h3>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/a>
Head to Pixlr Templates, here<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Right-click on the image and select Change Image<\/em>, where you can immediately upload a photo of your choice.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a>
Design with Pixlr, here<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Now that you have your image inserted into the template, you can may\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Adjust the fonts to your liking<\/h3>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/a>
Design with Pixlr, here<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Simply click on Text and select the text box in which the font you wish to change. Choose a font that matches your brand personality – be it funky, elegant, minimal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Add motion<\/h3>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/a>
Animate with Pixlr, here<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

This step is completely optional, but if you want to jazz up your social post with some motion, you can try out Pixlr\u2019s Animation<\/em>.\u00a0
Simply select the element you want to animate and click on the Animation Panel<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a>
Animate with Pixlr, here<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Click on Layer<\/em> and choose the type of animation you want.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a>
Animate with Pixlr, here<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Here, we\u2019ve gone with Slot<\/em> and we\u2019ve maintained its speed at Normal<\/em> with a 0.8-second duration. Remember not to overdo it by adding too much animation into a single post – we\u2019d recommend animating only 1 to 2 elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Rinse and repeat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Now that you know the drill, you can easily repeat the process and apply it to each post for your carousel.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a>
#MadewithPixlr<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/a>
#MadewithPixlr<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/a>
#MadewithPixlr<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Make sure to keep the overall style (colors, fonts, design elements, animations) consistent so that, when posted, it looks like a seamless carousel post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
