How Do You Get a Carousel in Canva on Instagram?

Are you looking to add a carousel to your Instagram posts created in Canva? Look no further! In this tutorial, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of how to get a carousel in Canva on Instagram. Carousels are a great way to showcase multiple images or videos in a single post, allowing you to tell a story or share more content with your audience.

Step 1: Create Your Design in Canva

To get started, open Canva and create a new design with the dimensions suitable for an Instagram post. You can choose from the pre-set templates or start from scratch. Once you're happy with your design, it's time to move on to the next step.

Step 2: Add Multiple Pages

In order to create a carousel in Canva, you need to have multiple pages within your design. To add more pages, simply click on the "Pages" tab located on the left-hand side of the screen and select "Add a new page." Depending on how many images or videos you want to include in your carousel, add as many pages as necessary.

Step 3: Design Each Page

Now that you have multiple pages within your design, it's time to customize each page accordingly. Treat each page as an individual image or video that will be part of your carousel. You can add text, shapes, stickers, and other elements just like you would for any regular Instagram post.

Tips:

• Bold: Use bold text to highlight important information or captions for each image/video.
• Underline: Underline any key words or phrases that need emphasis.
• Lists: Utilize lists to provide step-by-step instructions or key points to remember.

Step 4: Arrange the Pages

Once you have designed each page, it's time to arrange them in the desired order of your carousel. To do this, simply click and drag the pages to rearrange them. Make sure the flow of your carousel makes sense and tells a cohesive story, if applicable.

Step 5: Download Your Design

After you have finished designing and arranging your carousel, it's time to download your design from Canva. Click on the "Download" button located at the top right corner of the screen and select your preferred file format (e.g., JPG or PNG).

Note:

If you are a Canva Pro user, you can also directly export your design to Instagram by clicking on the "Export" button instead of downloading it. This will save you some time!

Step 6: Upload Your Carousel on Instagram

Once you have downloaded or exported your design from Canva, open Instagram and create a new post as you would normally do. Select all the images or videos that make up your carousel by tapping on the multiple image/video icon located at the bottom right corner of the screen.

Bold, underline, and italicize any captions or hashtags in your post as needed.

Note:

The order in which you select your images/videos will determine their sequence within the carousel. So make sure to double-check before posting!

Congratulations!

You have successfully created a carousel in Canva for Instagram! Now you can engage and captivate your audience with a visually appealing and interactive post that tells a story or showcases multiple pieces of content. Get creative, experiment with different designs, and make the most out of this powerful feature!

Remember to always credit your sources if you use any third-party images or videos in your carousel, and stay consistent with your branding throughout.

Happy carousel-ing!
