Create a Threads carousel →Design tips
Threads carousels use the same dimensions as single posts — 1080×1350px (4:5) is recommended. Carousels support up to 10 slides and can mix images and videos. All slides share the aspect ratio of the first slide, so design every frame at consistent dimensions.
- •Design all slides at 1080×1350px (4:5) — the first slide's ratio determines the display for all slides.
- •Use carousels for tutorials, lists, and stories when the sequence itself adds context.
- •You can mix images and videos in one carousel — all will be cropped to match the first slide's ratio.
What you need to know
Threads carousels work almost identically to Instagram carousels. You can include up to 10 slides mixing images and videos. The aspect ratio of the first slide determines the display ratio for all subsequent slides — mismatched slides will be cropped to fit.
Carousel posts on Threads are useful when the idea unfolds across multiple frames: educational content, step-by-step tutorials, before-and-after examples, or multi-part stories. Because the sequence carries meaning, consistent sizing and framing matter more than on a single-image post.
For mixed media carousels (photos + video), all media files share the same aspect ratio display. A video in a 4:5 carousel will be cropped to 4:5 even if the original is 9:16. Plan your video framing accordingly if mixing formats.
