Carousel Templates: a frame and a slide count you can repeat

The template is the shape and the number of slides. Pick 1:1, 4:5, or 16:9, add 2 to 16 photos, and download a ZIP of equal JPG or PNG slides.

A carousel template, on this page, is a frame you can use again and a number of slides you can count. Switch to carousel, choose 1:1, 4:5, or 16:9, and add the photos in the order the story should swipe. The download is a ZIP of equal slides, JPG or PNG, made in the browser. There is no rented library of headline cards. The layouts you may have seen on a collage, a 2x2, a 3x3, rows, and circle, heart, or diamond masks, belong to single mode. Carousel mode hides that strip on purpose, because every slide has to be the same size. That sameness is the template. Next week you open the same frame, the same count, and new photos, and the set still feels like one series. The frames are concrete. A square is 1080 by 1080. A portrait is 1080 by 1350. A wide frame is 1920 by 1080. Instagram feed posts are comfortable in the square or the portrait. The wide frame is there when the destination is a landscape screen. This studio does not offer a 9:16 story preset, so a story cover is a different crop after you export, or a different page. You need at least two slides and you can go up to sixteen. Sixteen images is the ceiling for the set. Add them in the order you want people to swipe. If a beat has to move, remove it and add the files again in the new order. Export JPG when a simple photo file is enough, or PNG when you want a PNG. The ZIP holds one file per slide, so the carousel you post is the set, not a single grid. Treat the pair of choices as the house style. A product walk might always be five squares. A lesson might always be six portraits. Write that down in the brief you already keep, because the page does not save a named template to an account. The next set starts from the same two choices and the photos you bring. Gap, background, and the focus inside a slide are still yours to set before you export, and they show in the preview. If one slide should itself be a grid of four photos, build that grid in collage mode, download the picture, and drop it in as a single carousel slide. Mixing a grid and a swipe in one click is a different product. Here the template is the strip: equal frames, a count you chose, and a ZIP you can upload where the feed asks for a carousel.

The template is the frame you repeat

Three frames, and a count from 2 to 16

Square, portrait, and landscape are the choices, at 1080 by 1080, 1080 by 1350, and 1920 by 1080. Pick one and stay with it for the whole set, because the slides are sliced to the same size. Two slides is the shortest story. Sixteen is the longest this studio will pack. A feed carousel usually wants the square or the portrait. Use the wide frame when the place you will play the set is a 16:9 screen.

Order is the layout

The first photo is the cover people decide on. The last photo is the beat you hope they reach. Put proof in the middle: a detail, a face, a step. Add files in that order. There is no separate layer stack to drag. If the middle beat is wrong, rebuild the order and export again. The ZIP names the slides as a set you can upload together.

A grid is a different template

Collage mode is where a 2x2, a 3x3, rows, and the shape masks live. Those make one picture. If a carousel slide needs that picture, export the collage first and add the file as one slide. The carousel ZIP will still be equal slices. You keep both skills, and you use each one for the job it actually finishes.

  1. 1

    Switch to carousel

    Confirm you are making equal slides rather than one grid. The collage layout strip steps aside so every frame matches.

  2. 2

    Pick the frame and the count

    Choose 1:1, 4:5, or 16:9, then add between 2 and 16 photos. That pair is the template you can repeat next time.

  3. 3

    Export the ZIP

    Download JPG or PNG slides. Check the cover and the last slide at the size you will post, then upload the set.

Use cases

A weekly set with the same shape

Five squares, every week, with new photos. Readers learn the rhythm, and you are not hunting for a new theme file.

Slides designed somewhere else

Export cards as PNG from the tool you already design in, then drop those PNGs here so the ZIP is equal and local.

A lesson in a few swipes

One idea per slide, portrait or square, so a student can move through the steps without a course site.

Problems we solve

Looking for a pack of headline layouts

This page does not ship a catalog of title cards. The repeating choice is the frame size and how many slides you add.

A story that needs 9:16

The presets stop at square, portrait, and 16:9. Crop a cover for a story after export if the destination is a tall story frame.

A slide that should be a grid

Build the grid as a collage, download it, and add that one image to the carousel. The ZIP stays a strip of equal slides.

Trust & technology

Made in the browser

The photos and the ZIP are handled on this device. You download the slides and upload them where you post.

The sizes are the ones on the control

1:1 is 1080 by 1080, 4:5 is 1080 by 1350, and 16:9 is 1920 by 1080. The count runs from 2 to 16.
