Step 1

Start with Your Content

Begin by preparing your content. Instagram carousels work best when they tell a story or present information in a logical sequence. Think about what message you want to convey and how to break it into digestible slides.

💡Aim for 5-10 slides for optimal engagement. Each slide should have one clear message.

Step 2

Choose Your Template

In Veeso AI, browse the carousel templates or start from scratch. Select a template that matches your brand aesthetic and content type. You can always customize colors, fonts, and layouts later.

Step 3

Design Your First Slide

Your first slide is crucial—it's what makes people stop scrolling. Use a bold headline, striking image, or intriguing question. This slide should hook viewers and make them want to swipe.

💡Use contrasting colors and large text for the first slide to maximize visibility in the feed.

Step 4

Build Your Story

Create each subsequent slide with purpose. Maintain visual consistency across slides using the same color palette, fonts, and design elements. Use Veeso's AI to suggest layouts and content arrangements.

Step 5

Add a Strong Call-to-Action

Your final slide should include a clear call-to-action. Whether it's "Save this post," "Follow for more," or "Visit the link in bio," give your audience a next step.

💡Include a "swipe left" indicator on slides (except the last one) to encourage engagement.

Step 6

Export and Publish

Export your carousel in the correct dimensions (1080x1350px for portrait or 1080x1080px for square). Review each slide one more time, then upload to Instagram.
