Built for Instagram
The Instagram carousel maker that writes, designs, and posts for you
Most carousel makers hand you a blank canvas. Carousify starts from your idea, a video, or a file, writes every slide with AI, lays it out at the right Instagram size, and publishes it to your account. You stay in control: every slide opens in a drag-and-drop editor where you can change the text, images, colors, and layout before it goes live.
Instagram carousel sizes, set up for you
Instagram crops every slide in a carousel to the shape of the first one, so a carousel should use one size from start to finish. Pick a size once and Carousify keeps every slide on it, at 1080 px wide.
Portrait
4:51080 × 1350 px
The standard portrait carousel. Fills more of the feed than a square post.
Feed
3:41080 × 1440 px
The tallest option. Matches the 3:4 thumbnails on Instagram profile grids.
Square
1:11080 × 1080 px
The classic format. Works everywhere, including cross-posting.
How many slides should an Instagram carousel have?
Instagram allows up to 20 slides in one carousel, and Carousify's AI can build anywhere from 3 to 20. Most educational carousels work best at 6 to 10 slides: a hook that stops the scroll, one point per slide, a short recap, and a final call to action.
You choose the closing slide: ask people to follow, save the post, visit a link, or check out a product.
Match the voice of your account
Set the tone to Professional, Casual, Bold, Storytelling, or Educational, and choose how much text goes on each slide, from a single line to a full paragraph. Add your brand kit and every slide uses your logo, colors, and fonts, so your grid looks consistent post after post.
Turn anything into an Instagram carousel

Publish and schedule carousels straight to Instagram
Connect your Instagram professional account (Business or Creator) through Instagram's official login. Carousify is an approved Meta Tech Provider and uses the official Instagram API, so you never share your password. Post a carousel right away or schedule it for later, and Carousify publishes it for you. Likes and comments on your posts sync back into Carousify, so you can see which carousels your audience responds to.
Also posting on LinkedIn? The same editor makes LinkedIn carousels too, so one idea can become a post for both platforms.

We've Got Answers
Everything you need to know about Carousify's free AI Instagram carousel maker.
What is the best Instagram carousel maker?
Carousify is built for Instagram carousels: its AI writes the slides from an idea, video, or file, the editor sizes them for the feed, and it publishes or schedules them straight to Instagram through the official API. Generic design tools give you a blank canvas; Carousify does the writing, design, and posting in one place.
What size should an Instagram carousel be?
Use 1080 × 1350 px (4:5 portrait), 1080 × 1440 px (3:4, the tallest option), or 1080 × 1080 px (1:1 square). Instagram crops every slide to the shape of the first one, so keep one size for the whole carousel. Carousify sets this up for you.
How many slides can an Instagram carousel have?
Instagram allows up to 20 slides per carousel. Carousify's AI can build carousels from 3 to 20 slides, and most educational carousels work best at 6 to 10.
Can I make Instagram carousels from YouTube videos, PDFs, or blog posts?
Yes. Paste a YouTube, blog, or Reddit link, or upload a PDF, PowerPoint, Word, text, or Markdown file up to 10 MB. Carousify pulls out the key points and builds ready-to-post slides.
Can Carousify post carousels directly to Instagram?
Yes. Connect an Instagram Business or Creator account through Instagram's official login, then publish right away or schedule for later. Carousify is an approved Meta Tech Provider, so you never share your Instagram password.
What is a brand kit, and how does it help with Instagram carousels?
A brand kit saves your logo, colors, and fonts so every Instagram carousel stays on-brand. One click applies your full brand identity across all slides, which keeps your grid consistent.
Can I add hooks, captions, and hashtags for Instagram?
Yes. Alongside your slides, Carousify's AI helps you write scroll-stopping hooks, captions, and relevant hashtags so your carousel is ready to publish, not just designed.
