Carousels that continue

  1. Seamless panorama: one landscape split across three to five slides.
  2. Scrapbook spread: paper, prints and stickers that cross from slide to slide.
  3. Mosaic that opens up: tiny tiles on the first slide, bigger photos as you swipe.
  4. Torn-paper story: photos joined by ripped edges into one long page.
  5. Ten-slide journey: a quiet walk or a road trip as one continuous strip.

Carousels with an order

  1. A day in hours: one photo for each moment, each labeled with its time.
  2. Before, during, after: a run, a recipe, a room makeover.
  3. Week in kilometers: one run per slide building to the weekly total.
  4. Then and now: the same pose or place a year apart.
  5. Dinner party story: arrival, table, dessert, the last glass.

Carousels with a twist

  1. Song for every photo: each slide pairs a moment with the song that was playing.
  2. Forecast tour: the same trip told through each city's weather.
  3. Color study: a palette pulled from the first photo, then the photos it came from.
  4. Phone-screen story: photos framed as messages, albums or windows.
  5. The reveal: the best photo saved for the last slide, with a hint on the first.

Make any carousel easier to swipe

  • Use 4:5 portrait slides at 1080 × 1350 px for the most space in the feed.
  • Make the first slide work alone; it is the cover.
  • Keep text short and away from the edges.
  • Up to 20 slides are allowed, but 5 to 10 usually holds attention better.
