Instagram Just Upped the Carousel Game with 20 Frame Updates
Instagram is stepping it up with carousels. Now, you can pack up to 20 frames into a single carousel post—yeah, 20! That’s double what we used to get, and it’s a game changer for anyone who loves to share themed content or tell a story with their posts.
So here’s the scoop: You can now mix and match up to 20 photos or videos in one carousel. This update’s been rolling out for a while—first, they bumped the limit to 15 frames back in March, and now, they’ve gone all out with 20. Some folks have had this feature for a bit, but now it’s available to everyone.
Instagram’s been tweaking carousels in other ways too. They’re playing around with text overlays on carousels and even different formats for how your images show up. So, you can really mix things up with different sizes, alignments, and even some video clips thrown in for good measure.
With 20 frames, it’s basically like having a live photo album to show off your latest trip, event, or whatever you’re up to. I’m curious to see how people will use these extended carousels and what kind of creative content will pop up.
So, get ready to start thinking bigger with your next carousel post—20 frames of content, here we come!
