Instagram is making carousels even larger, allowing creators to now include up to 20 slides in a single carousel post. As highlighted in this update, users can now add up to 20 photos or videos within one carousel, offering more space to share content focused on a specific theme or topic.
Over the past few months, Instagram has been testing extended carousels, initially increasing the frame limit to 15 photos or videos per carousel in March, up from the previous 10. Some users have already had access to the 20-slide option for a while, and now, Instagram is rolling out this expanded feature to all users.
This is just one of several updates for carousels, with Instagram also experimenting with text overlays and recently introducing variable presentation formats for images within a carousel. Now, you can display a longer series of differently sized and aligned images, along with video clips, offering more flexibility to share your content.
At 20 slides, it’s like creating a live photo album of a trip or event. It’ll be interesting to see how users embrace these expanded carousels and how others react to 20-slide posts.
