You will want to put your attention-grabbing headline on it and make sure that you’re adding text and images that really grab their attention as they’re scrolling through the feed. The first slide of your Instagram Carousel post is really important, as it’s the first slide that your viewers are going to see. Doing this will create some contrast in your graphic and ensure that your viewers can read your text. If you’re using a light color, you will want your text to be dark – and vice versa. The next step is to add your background color, which will hopefully be one of your brand colors. 🙂īasically, you are going to add a 1080 x 1080 px square to your document, pull the guide from the ruler on the left, and then move your box down your carousel post to create more guides until you reach the end. This is all much easier to learn by video, so I recommend you watch it at the top of this post.
Once you have your grulers visible and your square all the way over here to the left, you can click and drag these guides to the correct place in your document to help you visualize each slide of your carousel post. To enable rulers guides on your Canva document, you can use the keyboard shortcut Shift+R. Trust me on this one:) Utilize Canva’s rulers and guidesĭesigning long carousel graphics is easier with the help of Canva’s built-in guides and rulers, which will help you design in a more organized way. Having elements that cross from slide to slide lets your viewer know that there’s more content in your post. You may be wondering why you can’t just create a standard Instagram post and design each slide page by page… But I’ll tell you that it is much easier to design these seamless posts when you can see the whole entire carousel in one shot. Simple math! Canva currently only allows you to create a document up to 8,000 pixels wide, which means if you want to create a carousel post that’s more than seven slides long, you might have to do a little bit of finagling and combine two different documents.
For example, four slides would be 1080 pixels tall by 1010 x 4 (4,320 pixels) wide. The size and dimensions are going to vary depending on how many slides your Instagram carousel post is made up of. You can add up to 10 slides to an Instagram Carousel, and that’s awesome because carousel posts are really great for sharing tutorials or step-by-step content, testimonials, or even examples of your work.Īccording to Hubspot, Instagram, carousel posts get on average 1.4 times more reach and 3.1 times more engagement than a regular Instagram post, so they can do wonders for your Insta account!Īnd they’re pretty fun to design once you get the hang of it ) What size should I create my carousels?
