How to split an image into a carousel
A seamless swipe in four steps, right in your browser.
1. Upload a wide photo
Choose a panorama, a group shot or any landscape image. A slide count is suggested from its shape.
2. Set slides and shape
Pick 2 to 20 slides and a 4:5, 1:1 or 3:4 slide shape. The crop frame resizes to fit.
3. Position and preview
Drag and zoom the photo inside the strip, then swipe the preview to check every seam.
4. Download and post
Save numbered slides, a ZIP, or one PDF for LinkedIn, and upload them in number order.
Everything a panorama carousel needs
Exact slide sizes, seams that line up and files that go up in the right order.
Seamless seams
Slides share their edges pixel for pixel, so the picture flows straight from one slide into the next.
Smart slide count
Suggests how many slides keep the most of your photo, from 2 up to the 20-slide limit.
Swipe preview
Check the carousel the way followers will see it, with seam markers you can switch off.
PDF for LinkedIn
One click gives you a PDF to upload as a LinkedIn document carousel.
Numbered files
Slides are named 01, 02, 03... so they upload in the right order every time.
Save to Photos
On iPhone and Android, save every slide to your gallery from the share sheet.
Private by design
Your photo never leaves your device and there is no watermark.
Tips for a carousel people keep swiping
- Give slide 1 a clear subject or a short line of text. It is the cover in the feed and on your profile grid.
- Avoid cutting through faces or text. Drag the photo so seams fall on sky, water or plain background.
- Three to five slides usually feel natural for a landscape. Very long strips work best for skylines and mountain ranges.
- Leave a little breathing room at the edges of every slide. Instagram shows a sliver of the next slide on some screens.

Frequently Asked Questions
Slide counts, sizes and seamless swipes, answered.
What is a carousel splitter?
A carousel splitter cuts one wide image into equal slides that join edge to edge, so when people swipe through your Instagram or LinkedIn carousel the picture continues across every slide. It is the easiest way to post a panorama without shrinking it into one tiny frame.
How many slides can an Instagram carousel have?
Instagram carousels take up to 20 photos or videos. This splitter lets you choose anything from 2 to 20 slides and suggests a count that keeps the most of your photo based on its shape.
Which slide size should I use?
4:5 (1080 x 1350) is the safe default: it fills more of the feed than a square and works on Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn. 3:4 (1080 x 1440) is the tallest size Instagram accepts and matches the profile grid. 1:1 (1080 x 1080) suits LinkedIn PDF carousels. All slides in an Instagram carousel use the shape of the first one, so keep them the same.
How do I upload the slides in the right order?
Files are numbered 01, 02, 03 and so on. In Instagram tap the plus button, choose Post, tap the select multiple icon and pick the slides starting with 01. The order you tap is the order people swipe.
Why is there a line between my slides on Instagram?
Usually because the slides were not all the same size or because Instagram cropped them to a different shape. Export every slide from one split, keep the same aspect ratio as the first slide, and do not use the crop button while uploading.
Can I make a LinkedIn carousel from a panorama?
Yes. Click PDF for LinkedIn to get one PDF with a page per slide, then create a LinkedIn post, choose Add a document and upload the PDF. LinkedIn shows it as a swipeable document carousel.
What does the cover look like on my profile grid?
Your profile grid shows only the first slide, as a 3:4 thumbnail. A 4:5 cover loses a thin strip on each side and a square cover loses an eighth of each side, so keep the key subject of slide 1 near its middle.
Will my panorama lose quality?
Each slide is exported at 1080 pixels wide, the size Instagram displays. If your photo has fewer pixels than that per slide, the tool tells you how much it is enlarged so you can choose fewer slides or zoom out.
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. Splitting happens in your browser on your own device. Your images are never uploaded or stored, and downloads have no watermark.
Is the carousel splitter free?
Yes, it is free with no signup and no limits.
