Instagram introduces 20-frame carousels for enhanced storytelling

Instagram now allows up to 20 frames in carousel posts, offering more creative possibilities and storytelling options for users.

Instagram has rolled out an exciting update, allowing you to include up to 20 frames in a single carousel post. This means you can now share even more photos or videos in one go, making presenting a comprehensive theme or topic more accessible to your audience.

More frames, more possibilities

Previously, you were limited to just 10 photos or videos per carousel, which sometimes made it challenging to convey your message fully. Instagram recognised this and began testing longer carousels earlier this year. In March, the platform increased the limit to 15 frames, providing users with more flexibility. Instagram has expanded this feature even further, enabling all users to add up to 20 frames per carousel.

This update is perfect for showcasing a more detailed story, whether a holiday album, a step-by-step guide, or a behind-the-scenes look at your latest project. With 20 frames, you can present a live photo album of your experiences, giving your followers a more immersive view of your content.

New creative opportunities

In addition to increasing the number of frames, Instagram has been experimenting with new ways to make your carousels even more engaging. Recently, the platform introduced text overlays within carousels, allowing you to add context or commentary directly to your images or videos. This feature is handy to provide additional information or highlight key points without cluttering your caption.

Moreover, Instagram has also launched variable presentation formats for carousels. This means you can display images of different sizes and aligned sizes within the same carousel set. These options offer you greater creative freedom, enabling you to design carousels that are not only visually appealing but also tailored to your specific message.

What does this mean for you?

With the ability to add up to 20 frames in a carousel, you now have more space to share your stories and engage your followers. Whether you’re a content creator, a business owner, or someone who loves sharing moments, this update gives you the tools to craft more comprehensive and dynamic posts.
