Current Instagram guidance
Meta documents photo widths up to 1080 pixels with supported ratios from 1.91:1 through 3:4, and says one chosen orientation applies across every item in a carousel. Check the image-resolution guidance and carousel instructions before publishing because platform behavior can change.

Same job on a different file type or batch size. Each tool still processes the file in this browser.
Create a Seamless Swipe Across Carousel Slides
One centered crop is divided on shared pixel boundaries, so adjacent slides continue the same image without duplicated or missing strips.
One Consistent Orientation
Choose 3:4, 4:5, square, or landscape output. Instagram applies one selected orientation to every photo and video in a carousel.
Left-to-Right Numbering
Every file is labeled slide 01, slide 02, and onward. Add them to the carousel in that order to preserve the continuous swipe.

Resizing photos for social media should be a cinch, but most editing programs are a pain to use. Of the dozen I’ve used, Instasize is the fastest, easiest and most consistent...

@cle957How many slides can an Instagram carousel contain?
Instagram’s current Help Center documents up to 20 photos and videos in one carousel. The tool therefore supports 2 through 20 image slides.
What is the best size for carousel slides?
Instagram preserves photos up to 1080 pixels wide within supported ratios. This tool offers 1080×1440 (3:4), 1080×1350 (4:5), 1080×1080 (1:1), and 1080×566 (1.91:1).
Can carousel slides use different aspect ratios?
Instagram says the square, portrait, or landscape orientation selected for the post affects every item. Export the complete set with one shape.
How do I keep the carousel seamless?
Keep the numbered files in left-to-right order and do not crop individual slides again after splitting. Preview text and faces so a seam does not cut through important details.
Does the carousel splitter upload my image?
No. The source is decoded, center-cropped, split, and encoded locally in the browser. ZIP creation also happens on your device.
Can I split a panorama into square slides?
Yes. Choose the 1:1 option to create 1080×1080 square slides, or use a portrait option for more vertical feed space.
