Carousel maker
Split a wide image into seamless, perfectly aligned slides for edge-to-edge social media carousels.
For landscapes or panos

Fall in love with landscape again
Social media favours portrait images as they appear larger on feeds. Using carousels, you can keep those larger images and show your full landscape image over multiple slides. It also helps you show more details.
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about the carousel maker.
Up to five. Photospec slices your image evenly across the slides you choose, and you can reposition the image beforehand to get the crop you want.
No. The slices are exported edge to edge with no gaps, so swiping through the carousel reads as one continuous image rather than separate photos.
Not at all. Any image works — a standard 3:2 landscape frame split across two or three slides is one of the most effective ways to use it. You could even use a portrait image and use the carousel maker to zoom in on the details across multiple slides.
Because feeds favour portrait. A wide image posted flat sits small on the screen, while the same image split across portrait slides fills the feed and gives viewers a reason to swipe — and lets them see detail they would otherwise miss.
Yes. You can set border widths, keylines, and colours, and soften the image corners. Keep it clean with black or white, or pick a colour that matches your feed.
Photospec exports each slide as a separate image in sequence. Depending on your device, you'll need to add them in the same or reverse order as they appear in your photo library.
Instagram and Threads are the natural fit, since both display multi-image posts as a swipeable set. You can export at the aspect ratio each one suits best.
