What this tool does
Instagram Carousel Splitter divides one tall infographic, comic strip, or vertical panorama into equal-height slides sized for Instagram carousel posts users swipe through.
Each slide exports at consistent width so text remains readable when viewers swipe horizontally in one post.
Why you might need it
Long infographics pasted as single squished images fail mobile readability—carousels preserve legible type per slide.
Tutorial creators shoot one vertical master in Canva then split for swipeable step-by-step posts.
Common use cases
- Split recipe infographics into ingredient and step slides
- Break vertical comic strips into swipe episodes
- Convert tall Pinterest pins to Instagram carousel format
- Slice before/after transformation timelines
- Prepare multi-slide quote graphics from one AI export
Step-by-step guide
- 1Upload a vertical image tall enough to divide into readable slices.
- 2Set number of slides between 2 and 10 matching your content sections.
- 3Preview slice boundaries—avoid cutting through text lines when possible.
- 4Download all slides as PNG or ZIP.
- 5Upload carousel to Instagram in slide order left-to-right.
Tips & best practices
- Design with horizontal safe zones between sections to survive automatic equal splits.
- Instagram Post Resizer sets 1080×1080 or 4:5 if you need single-slide posts instead.
- Social Media Safe Zone Checker validates text not clipped by UI overlays.
- Compress PNG slides with PNG Compressor when file size slows mobile upload.
Limitations
- Equal-height splits ignore content-aware breaks—manual design spacing helps.
- Very short wide images cannot split meaningfully into multiple slides.
- Common mistake — wrong slide count splitting through headlines: adjust source layout or slide count.
