Free Instagram Carousel Templates

Every template here is sized for Instagram: 1080 × 1350 pixels (the 4:5 portrait shape that takes up the most room in the feed) or the classic 1080 × 1080 square. Each one is a complete carousel — a cover that makes a promise, the slides that keep it, and a closing slide with a call to action — written for a real topic, from fitness and food to marketing and study tips.

Open a template, replace the sample text with your own, change the colours and fonts once for the whole carousel, and download the slides as numbered PNG or JPG files in a ZIP. Instagram lets you post up to 20 images in one carousel; the numbers keep them in order when you select them on your phone.

One idea per slideIf a slide needs a paragraph, split it into two. Around 15–40 words per slide reads comfortably on a phone.
