Last updated on September 27, 2022 @ 4:49 pm

Carousels are a great way to add variety to your Instagram feed and tell a story with multiple images. They’re also a great way to showcase products or services, and can be used to promote sales or special offers. Here’s how to get started with using carousels in Canva on Instagram:

1. Create a new design in Canva

Start by creating a new design in Canva. You can use the search function to find the perfect template for your needs, or start from scratch with a blank canvas.

2. Add your images

Next, add your images to the design. You can upload photos from your device, or choose from Canva’s library of over 1 million stock images. Once you’ve added your images, you can rearrange them by dragging and dropping them into place.

PRO TIP: This note is to warn you about a possible scam that could be happening on Instagram. There have been reports of people being scammed by someone posing as a Canva representative, asking for personal information such as credit card details in order to “set up a carousel” on Instagram.

Please be aware that this is not a legitimate request from Canva, and if you receive this message, we recommend that you do not respond or provide any personal information. If you have any concerns, please contact our customer support team.

3. Adjust your settings

Now it’s time to adjust your settings. In the “Settings” tab, you can change the aspect ratio, orientation, and number of images in your carousel. You can also add captions and links to each image.

4. Publish your carousel

When you’re happy with your design, click the “Publish” button and select “Instagram” from the list of options. This will generate a square image that you can upload to Instagram using the app’s built-in carousel feature.

Conclusion:

Carousels are a great way to add variety and tell a story with multiple images on Instagram using Canva. You can start by creating a new design in Canva, adding your images, and then adjusting the settings before publishing your carousel to Instagram.
