Safe cut lines
Keep captions, faces, and product names away from panel edges so the swipe does not cut important content.

Carousel use cases
Use carousel panels when one image needs a swipe path.
Carousel splitting works best when the viewer should move across a single idea instead of seeing separate posts.
Panoramic reveal
Split a wide image into 3 or 4 panels so the design feels continuous while swiping.
Tutorial slides
Use each panel as one step while keeping a shared background or visual thread.
Product story
Show details across multiple panels without rebuilding the design from scratch.
Carousel sizes
Build one wide design, then split it into panels.
Carousel splitting works best when the source canvas already matches the panel count. Use the table to choose a Canva or Figma canvas before exporting your full image.
| Layout | Design canvas | Panel | Best use |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 x 3 portrait | 2700 x 1350 px | 900 x 1350 px | Three-panel story |
| 1 x 4 portrait | 3600 x 1350 px | 900 x 1350 px | Longer reveal |
| 1 x 5 portrait | 4500 x 1350 px | 900 x 1350 px | Tutorial sequence |
| 1 x 3 square | 3240 x 1080 px | 1080 x 1080 px | Classic square carousel |
| TikTok banner | 3240 x 1080 px | 1080 x 1080 px | Three-tile profile banner |
Canva and Figma

TikTok banner reuse
A 1 x 3 square carousel export can also act as a three-tile TikTok profile banner workflow.
Carousel check
Make the swipe feel intentional.
A carousel split should preserve important content inside each panel and avoid cutting text at panel boundaries.
- Keep faces, text, and logos away from cut lines.
- Use Fit mode when the whole design must remain visible.
- Download a preview and scan each panel before posting.
- Use 1 row and 3 to 5 columns for most Instagram carousel designs.
- Use the ZIP numbers as the panel order from first swipe to last swipe.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What carousel split should I start with?
Start with 1 x 3 for a simple swipeable image and increase columns for longer carousel stories.
Can I download all carousel panels together?
Yes. The ZIP download includes every panel as a numbered PNG file.
Should carousel panels be square or portrait?
Use portrait panels for taller feed space and square panels for classic 1:1 posts.
Does the image stay private?
Yes. The image is split locally in your browser.
Can I use this for LinkedIn or TikTok carousels?
Yes. Use custom columns and Fit mode when the design needs to stay fully visible.
