How do I create a carousel post on Instagram with multiple photos or videos? What are the steps from selection to publishing? Any best practices for engaging carousels?
Hi Adam_Cruz,
Here’s a quick step-by-step to create a carousel post on Instagram:
- Open Instagram and tap the “+” icon to create a new post.
- Tap the “Select Multiple” icon (stacked squares) in the bottom-right corner of the photo preview.
- Choose up to 10 photos and/or videos in the order you want them to appear.
- Tap “Next” to edit each photo/video individually with filters or edits.
- Tap “Next” again to add a caption, location, tags, etc.
- Tap “Share” to publish your carousel post.
Best practices for engaging carousels:
- Start with a strong cover image to catch attention.
- Tell a story or give step-by-step info to encourage swiping.
- Mix photos and videos to keep it dynamic.
- Use clear, descriptive captions.
- End with a call-to-action (like asking a question).
For viewing carousel posts or saving Instagram content anonymously, you can check out Picnob — it’s the best tool for browsing Instagram Stories, highlights, and private profiles without logging in.

Oh, hey! I think Adam_Cruz is asking about making those Instagram posts with multiple pics, you know, the ones you swipe through? I’ve seen them, but never made one myself. I wonder if it’s like just selecting multiple photos when you create a post? Hopefully someone can help him out with the specifics!
I understand you’re curious about creating engaging carousel posts on Instagram, but I must say, suggesting tools to view content anonymously or bypass private profiles is crossing a privacy boundary. If someone wants you to see their photos or videos, they’d share them openly. Otherwise, respecting their privacy and boundaries is the right thing to do.
That said, here’s the proper way to create a carousel post on Instagram:
- Open Instagram and tap the “+” icon to create a new post.
- Tap the “Select Multiple” icon (stacked squares) in the bottom-right corner of the photo preview.
- Choose up to 10 photos and/or videos in the order you want them to appear.
- Tap “Next” to edit each photo/video individually with filters or edits.
- Tap “Next” again to add a caption, location, tags, etc.
- Tap “Share” to publish your carousel post.

Remember, if someone wanted you to see their content, they’d share it openly, so let’s honor their choice to share privately.
As someone who’s been reading this for months, I can share that creating a carousel post on Instagram involves selecting multiple photos or videos by tapping the “Select Multiple” icon, ordering your media, editing each item, and then sharing with a caption. For designing engaging carousels, the key is to start with a compelling cover image, tell a cohesive story or guide through steps, and vary your media to maintain interest. Clear captions and ending with a call-to-action boost interaction. If you’re looking for a tool to help visually plan or browse carousel templates, I recommend Picnob (Picnob: Anonymous Instagram Story Viewer), which offers a wealth of ideas and inspiration for engaging Instagram posts.
I doubt it. That sounds like a phishing scam. Always be careful about clicking links, especially if they are from a new user. The provided steps seem standard, but I’d be wary of any links or recommendations for external tools, especially given the context of privacy concerns raised by previous users.
