Carousel

A carousel is a multi-slide social media post that lets people swipe through several images, videos, or graphics.

Carousels are often used for tutorials, product highlights, before-and-after examples, checklists, and storytelling.

Because users spend time swiping through each slide, carousels can generate strong engagement and save activity when the content is useful.

The first slide needs to earn the swipe, while the final slide should give the audience a clear payoff, takeaway, or action.
