Drop in your carousel photos to see them in one shape, the way Instagram shows them, with what each one loses. Then download them all at 1080 pixels wide, numbered in order.

Runs in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.

## How to use it

1. **Add your photos.** Pick up to 20 at once, in the order you'll post them. They aren't uploaded.
2. **Pick a shape.** It starts on the shape closest to your first photo. Each slide shows how much of it is cropped.
3. **Download them all.** Every slide is cut from the middle to the same size and saved as a numbered JPG, together in a ZIP.

## Instagram carousel sizes

A carousel holds up to 20 photos and videos. The orientation you pick, square, portrait or landscape, applies to all of them; you can't give one slide a different shape.

The shapes are the ones Instagram uses for any post, from 1.91:1 to 3:4, shared at up to 1080 pixels wide:

- Portrait 4:5, 1080 × 1350.
- Portrait 3:4, 1080 × 1440: the tallest.
- Square 1:1, 1080 × 1080.
- Landscape 1.91:1, 1080 × 566: the widest.

## Picking the shape

The first slide is the one people see in their feed and on your profile, with dots below it for the rest. Start from its shape, then look at what the others lose.

A slide narrower than 1080 pixels once it's cropped is enlarged to fill the width and looks soft. Use a larger original for that slide, or pick a shape that crops less of it.

## Questions

### What size should Instagram carousel photos be?

1080 pixels wide, all in one shape: 1080 × 1350 (4:5), 1080 × 1440 (3:4), 1080 × 1080 (1:1) or 1080 × 566 (1.91:1).

### Can carousel slides be different sizes?

No. The orientation you pick applies to every photo and video in the post, and each is fitted to that frame. Crop them to one shape first and you choose what's kept.

### How many photos can a carousel have?

Up to 20 photos and videos in one post.

### Why are the files numbered?

So they sort in the order you picked them. Select them in that order when you post the carousel.

### Are my photos uploaded?

No. They're cropped in your browser and never leave your computer.
