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

03.pngCarousel 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
Cut a panorama into swipeable Instagram 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 |
| 1 x 4 square | 4320 x 1080 px | 1080 x 1080 px | Four-panel swipe |
Canva and Figma
Design the full carousel as one wide canvas, export it once, then split it into numbered panels here.
Panel order
Use the numbered files from left to right so the swipe path matches the preview.
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.
- Use crop zoom and position controls when a face, product, or headline is too close to a panel edge.
- 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.
