How to use this tool

  1. 01

    Choose a wide photo

    Upload your panorama or try the example. The tool recommends a slide count based on your photo and selected shape.

  2. 02

    Check the connections

    Choose 2–10 slides and adjust the crop. Swipe through the slide preview to check framing and how the image continues.

  3. 03

    Download and add to one post

    Download the numbered PNG files as a ZIP. Extract them and add 01, 02, 03 in order to one Instagram carousel.

Keep the panorama connected

Every slide comes from one continuous crop. Choose your slide shape first, then move and zoom the whole photo to get the framing you want. The overview shows all cuts and the swipe preview shows each finished slide.

Take a numbered set straight into your post

The ZIP contains PNG images named 01-slide, 02-slide and so on. Add them to the same Instagram post in that order. Choosing the same shape for every slide keeps the panorama consistent as people swipe.

Frequently asked questions

What is an Instagram carousel splitter?

An Instagram carousel splitter cuts one wide photo into slides that connect as someone swipes through a single post. SocQ provides a complete crop preview, individual slide previews and numbered PNG downloads.

What photo shape works best for a seamless carousel?

A wide photo or panorama gives you more room for several slides. Choose the number of slides and watch the overview to see how much of your image is included. Adjust the crop until the important parts are in view.

How many slides can I create?

Choose between 2 and 10 slides in this tool. The recommended option uses your photo shape as a starting point. Try a few counts and compare the overview and swipe preview to find the version you like.

How do I keep the image aligned between slides?

Adjust the photo as one complete image in the overview. Each slide is cut from that same crop, so the edges line up. Upload the exported files to one post in filename order and use the same display shape for the whole carousel.

Can I preview the carousel before downloading?

Yes. The overview shows the full image and cut lines. Below it, swipe horizontally or use the arrow buttons to inspect individual slides. You can adjust the crop and immediately compare the new framing.

How do I upload the slides to Instagram?

Download and extract the ZIP, then start a new Instagram post and select multiple photos. Add 01-slide first, followed by 02-slide and the remaining files in order. Review the carousel and add your caption before sharing.
