Cut an Instagram Carousel: Three Slides from One Wide Image editor

Carousel preview

Waiting for a source image

How do I use this tool?

  1. 1.Upload a wide design

    Choose one image prepared to read from left to right. Keep key text within the areas intended for individual slides.

  2. 2.Review three slide crops

    Use one row with three columns and the four-to-five tile shape. Check the boundaries and confirm every slide has useful content.

  3. 3.Save in slide order

    Download the PNG set and select slides from first to last when creating a carousel. Review the swipe sequence before publishing.

Before I download

Does this publish the carousel for me?

No. It produces PNG files and an ordered download. You choose the files and confirm their order in Instagram yourself.

Can I upload three separate photos here?

This workflow cuts one continuous source design. For three independent carousel photos, keep separate files; for one combined picture, use a three-photo collage.

Design for a swipe rather than a profile

A carousel has a reading direction. Begin with a clear introduction, continue the idea across the middle, and give the last slide an ending. Background imagery can connect the slides, but critical words should fit inside one panel. The forward slide order on this page follows the source from left to right, avoiding the reverse publishing order used for profile puzzles.

Calculate the shape of the source strip

Three four-to-five portrait slides in one row form a twelve-to-five combined composition before any source crop. A wide original prepared for that proportion reduces surprises at the edges. Square slides produce a different combined shape. After changing tile ratio or column count, review every cut again and export a complete new set.
