How to make a seamless carousel

A seamless carousel is one long picture cut into slides. Each swipe shows the next part, so people keep swiping. Here is how to make one in SlideNest.

1. Choose your photos

   Tap Create and pick photos from your library. A wide shot, like a landscape or a group photo, works best for the first slides.

2. Pick a look

   Your photos appear in every look at once. Choose the one you like; you can change it later without losing your photos.

3. Move photos across the seams

   Select a photo and drag it across a numbered slide boundary. The part on each side becomes part of the next slide. Keep faces and text away from the seams so nothing gets cut in the middle.

4. Add text, stickers and frames

   Use the toolbar under the canvas: Text, Stickers, Frames and Background. You can also remove a photo's background to place a person over the seam.

5. Preview

   Tap Preview and swipe through the slides the way your followers will. Preview and export use the same renderer, so what you see is what you get.

6. Export and post

   Tap Export, then Save to Photos. In Instagram, start a new post, choose multiple photos and select the slides in order, from 1 to the last one.

Tips

• Use 4:5 for the Instagram feed: it takes the most screen space. 9:16 is for stories and TikTok.
• A carousel can have up to 20 slides. Three to six is usually enough for one picture.
• Your project saves automatically. Come back to it from the home screen any time.
