How to Create an Instagram Carousel by Splitting One Image

Create those stunning Instagram carousel posts where a single image flows seamlessly across multiple slides. The secret? Image splitting.

What Is an Instagram Carousel?

A carousel post contains up to 10 photos that users swipe through. Split a wide image into equal segments for a panoramic viewing experience.

Step 1: Prepare Your Image

For 3 slides: 3240×1080 pixels. For 5 slides: 5400×1080 pixels. Use 1350px height for portrait mode (better engagement).

Step 2: Split with Split Poster

Set Rows to 1 and Columns to the number of slides. Download as PNG for borderless images perfect for Instagram.

Step 3: Upload to Instagram

Select "Multiple images" and upload your split images in order, left to right.

Why This Works

Carousel posts receive 1.4x more reach and 3.1x more engagement than single-image posts.
