Split a wide image into seamless Instagram carousel slides.

Drop a wide image here, or click to browse

JPG, PNG, or WebP up to 25 MB. Processed in your browser and never uploaded.

A seamless carousel, where one wide image carries on across the slides as people swipe, gives every swipe a payoff. Making one by hand means cropping each slide to the pixel in an editor. This free Instagram carousel splitter does it in your browser: add a panorama, choose how many slides, and download them ready to post.

Choose square slides (1:1, 1080×1080) or portrait slides (4:5, 1080×1350), which take up more of the screen in the feed. The tool scales and center-crops your image to exactly the strip those slides need, so they meet edge to edge, and the preview marks every seam so you can check that no face or line of text is cut at a join. Your image never leaves your device.

Post the slides in numbered order as one carousel. Instagram gives every slide in a carousel the shape of the first one, which is why all the slides here share one ratio. For a three-column profile mosaic instead of a swipeable post, use the Instagram grid maker, and for single images in other sizes, try the image resizer. Then schedule the carousel with the PostJay Instagram scheduler.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make a seamless Instagram carousel?

Start with one wide image, add it here, and pick a slide count and shape. The tool suggests the count that fits your image best. Download the slides and post them in numbered order as one carousel, and the picture lines up as people swipe.

What size should my panorama be?

For full quality, aim for at least 1080 pixels of width per slide and 1080 (square) or 1350 (portrait) pixels of height. Five square slides work best from an image of around 5400×1080. Smaller images still work but get upscaled, and the tool warns you when that happens.

Why does part of my image get cropped?

The slides together form one strip with a fixed shape; five squares side by side make a 5:1 strip, for example. If your image is a different shape, the tool trims evenly from the edges to fill the strip. Choosing a slide count closer to your image's shape means less gets cut.

Are my photos uploaded anywhere?

No. The splitting runs in your browser using the canvas API, and the slides are created on your device. Nothing is sent to PostJay's servers.
