Frequently asked questions
How many images can you add to an Instagram carousel?
Instagram allows up to 10 images or videos per carousel post. Carousel AI generates up to 10 slides, so you can use all of them.
What's the best image size for Instagram carousels?
1080×1080px (1:1 square ratio) is the most widely used format. Carousel AI exports in exactly this size.
Can you add different image sizes to the same Instagram carousel?
Yes, but Instagram will crop them to the first image's ratio. Using consistent 1080×1080px slides (like Carousel AI exports) avoids any cropping issues.
