Start off by creating a blank carousel post using the correct dimensions.
Next learn how to add handy guidelines and rulers in Canva to help you position content in your post.
💡 There are some key things to remember when creating a carousel post
Importantly when uploaded to Instagram your viewers will not see the entire panoramic post in one go. Instead they will see each individual ‘picture’ as they swipe through the carousel. Bear that in mind when uploading content to your post.
I’ll share with you my ‘Nicky Ninja tip’ 🥷🏻 which will pique your audience’s interest and get them to swipe to the next image in the carousel.
Once you’re done creating the panoramic post I’ll show you how to split the carousel post up ready for uploading to Instagram.
The next steps will be very familiar to you all.
From the ‘Gallery’ section all you need to do is select the multiple images that make up your carousel and then upload them to your Instagram feed.
Congratulations! You now have a seamless Instagram carousel post 🤩
☞ How to Create a Seamless Instagram Carousel VIDEO post
To create an Instagram VIDEO Carousel Post all you’ll need is a quick 5-10 second video.
Upload it to Canva.
Swap one of your photos or images for the video. You could try using a video for the entire carousel if you want!
Once done download the video sections of your carousel as MP4 files. The rest you’ll download as PNG files as before.
Now follow the exact same steps as before by selecting multiple files from your Instagram ‘Gallery’.
Post to Instagram and you have a very unique and seamless Instagram carousel VIDEO post!

I've watched a few different carousel tutorials but most of them were way too complicated. This is the best and easiest one I have seen. Thanks!
Aww that's so kind of you Anna! I'm glad you found it easy to follow 🤩
I struggle so much with these things. I feel so good about the info I have learned from you. I have subscribed. Thank you so much!
My brain is exploding but you explained this in the most simplified manner!! Thank you!
exactly the tutorial I needed. Can't thank you enough for sharing this.
It's quite an old tutorial now, but I'm happy you found it useful.
Very, very, very, very thank you! I'm from Brazil and i didn't find a video even on youtube explaining about how to make a video with carousel. You saved me! Thank you from the heart!
Aww you're so welcome my lovely 💗
wow! finding you is a game changer for me!
Wow! Thanks Nicky for this Video 🙏🏼
Oh my gosh thank you so much, I love making seamless carousels. Never thought to use Canva before and can’t wait to start adding videos. Thank you Nicky!
Hi Brad, I'm so happy you've discovered carousels in Canva!
Thanks Nicky...really helpful...nice to see u around
Brilliant!!! I had another UA-cam tutorial on how to make a carousel but it stopped at the creation of the individual slide. So of course when I uploaded it it uploaded as a single unit. Thank you so much for showing me how to create individual squares and how to post them! And adding the video tutorial was excellent also. Thank you so much!
OMG ! THANK YOUUUU SO MUCHHH ! i was looking for this kind of video :-)
Good luck with your carousels!
Wow! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much Nicki for the tips!
You're welcome, Kelly. Good luck with your IG channel!
@@NickyPasquier my pleausre Nicky! I really appreciate it!
What a smart way to do it in Canva!
And it really works! Good luck with your carousels 🎠 💙
Great!! Thanks - clear and easy to follow!! Well done!
Thank you 😊
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS. SUCH A GAME CHANGER!
Very helpful,,, Thank you Nicky 😍
Your videos have taught me so much. Thank you!!!
Hi Kelly, I'm so please do know you enjoyed this tutorial. Have you created and posted a carousel graphic yet?
Thank you so much! This helped me alottttttttttt
Great news! Don't forget you can now post directly to IG from a lapptop; it might save you some time 😊
Very helpful, thank you!
This was super helpful! Thank you!!
You're welcome Charlotte 😊
Thank you that was very useful
You're very welcome 😊
thank you,, easy to understand..
great video thx alot!
Thanks, Nicky! You're a super teacher! I can imagine this would be a very powerful tool on Instagram. Have you always been tech savvy? I am late to all this, and not naturally inclined technically, but I am keen to learn. Your videos help. Thanks, again.
You are right. She’s so good that I subscribed after watching her first video
Thank you so much, Heather. Believe it or not I used to have a very uncreative job so I wasn't tech savvy at all. I'm so glad you're willing to learn - all it takes is a positive mental attitude and a little time to learn step-by-step. Don't try and do everything in one go. Best of luck to you!
@@NickyPasquier More excellent advice! Thanks! :D
Thank you ! This is great! But I cannot tell a lie, I am still confused! I guess I need a video that goes slowly and step by step ! Like a class I guess!
Thanks!
Thank you so much...this is awesome!!!!
You're very welcome Sandra 💗
Thank you so much 😁
You're welcome 😊
Hi Nicki! I wonder what you clicked on Canva to make that long rectangle thing come up. at 00:51 of your video? Sorry, I'm trying to do a follow-along on your video. 😁
It's not important, lovely. Just follow my instructions ;)
thank you so much🔥🔥🔥❤️
Thanks a lot : very useful ;)
I am here to triple like the video
Fantastic! Thank you for sharing!
May I ask what are the tools you used in making this tutorial?😊
Yes of course, I use Camtasia to record my screen and Filmora to edit the video 😊
Thank you so much@@NickyPasquier! I really appreciate you replying. 😊
thanks a lot that was super useful. this way is amazing for making 3 posts in a row but how to match the same pattern with 3 more posts in top of this one can you help please
Thank you
Hi Nicky, I've just made my first carousel using Canva and I've saved the image and tried to upload it to the instagram size post to crop each individual frame and it won't allow me to upload the image because the file is to big. Do you have any sugguestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated
I have tried reducing the file sized but when uploaded to the 1080x1080 tile and stretched out the image is distorted
@@bradscaramuzzi641 Hi Brad, thanks for your question. I'm very happy to go through this with an hour's paid training. As you can imagine this isn't a quick 'yes/no' answer and I really need to understand what you're doing by sharing a screen. Cheers.
Thank you Nicky. Is there a way of posting it from ones laptop? It seems odd that you can create the post on a laptop only to then have to use a phone to post.
Good question but the answer is no (unless you can figure a workaround?) The important part of creating carousels is that the transition from one section to another is seamless. I don't know a way of doing this on a laptop. Bit of a fiddle but I think you'll find it worthwhile. Carousels have a long life span in IG. I hope this helps?
@@NickyPasquier Thank you Nicky. I'm a complete novice at social media.
I know this is a silly question, however when using Canva, the zip file is downloaded to the download folder on my laptop. How on earth does it end up in your phone gallery?
You need to use a Cloud storage solution like Dropbox so you can retrieve your images from your phone ;)
Hi I have done everything upto downloading the file but have no idea how to see it on my android smartphone. (Up until that point I didnt realise I cant download my canva carosel to Instagram from my laptop?) I dont have a gallery icon (do I download one or is it on Apple?) but have an album one. This only shows the last photos i took. I have now downloaded the Canva app in case that would assist but none the wiser what to do next. Please can you help as would love to post my first carousel? Thanks
I'm so sorry but I only have an Android smartphone so I've no idea how to work this for you. Download the files to wherever it is that you upload images to IG from.
Thanks Nicky! Is there any scheduler for carousel that includes photos + videos?
Great question Melanie. If you just hold onto it for a week or so I MAY have a new tutorial for you. I'm waiting for a re-launch ;) 🤫
So if I want 7 images, my measurements would be 7560 x 1080? Thanks Nicky!
Ideally, yes. But you could always cut the size down to 800x800 pixels per 'page'. See what works for you.
Maybe a dumb question but how are you downloading your images on your computer and they're showing up on your phone?
No it's not a dumb question. I export them from Dropbox to my phone ;)
@@NickyPasquier i figured! Wanted to make sure there wasnt a magical sync way i was missing... thanks!
@@LorenaTurner actually Lorena, you might like to know you can now add images to Instagram on a desktop device 🤩
This was great. But, can you schedule a carousel post through Canva?
That's a great question. I don't use Canva to schedule content to IG but I'd imagine not, no.
Hey Nicky. Thank you for this video! Q.Did you find a problem when you added a carousel - that includes a video (with other photos)...the video would not play? ONLY until you 'tap' the video? Which is really not helpful :( any idea of a fix? Thanks in advance! :)
Hi there, sorry to hear about your difficulties. I've not experienced this problem, no. But I've had a lot of problems lately playing videos on IG. Maybe it's a bug?
@@NickyPasquier Thanks Nicky! I appreciate your words. After further resting I found videos used in a carousel play fine on the feed as you upload it. But, when someone visits your page and watches this video it remains a still until you click the picture (which no one would know to do ha!) So, a small fix was that I made a 1 frame piece of texture overall saying 'Click to Play' :)
@@SalimAdamcom it's strange, my videos play fine without this tweak. I'm glad you've found a solution for your carousels :)
Love your videos! When I went to upload them into Instagram, though, it would not let me put videos and photos in one carousel. I use Facebook Business Suite. Any workaround for this?
You need to follow my instructions ;)
@@NickyPasquier Okay, so just as an FYI, you can't do this in Facebook Business Suite or on your desktop (you can normally post to instagram from your desktop using the "inspect" option). It HAS to be done on the phone app. It worked when I did it on my phone. Very unfortunate you can't do it in the other platforms because that's how I do most of my posting. Cool effect, though. It makes the flow nicely and makes the eye want to follow through the whole carousel.
@@MovingMooreCounty this is exactly why I suggested you follow my instructions ;)
En español por favoor!! Se ve muy bueno
Can you do the work for me? I don’t have the patience for this LOL.
Yes if you can do all my work for me 😆
