Carousel Splitter
Cut a wide image into carousel slides that line up when the reader swipes, sized for Instagram, LinkedIn or a story.
What it does
Carousel Splitter works on JPG, PNG and WEBP images and writes a new file; the one you dropped in is untouched. One picture, swiped across slides.
When you need it
Usually because something downstream has an opinion: a profile photo that must be square, a marketplace that rejects anything over a certain width, a print that needs the right proportions, or a phone photo that arrived rotated.
Limits and caveats
Enlarging an image cannot add detail that was never captured, so scaling up softens it. Saving to a lossy format re-encodes the pixels, which is worth doing once rather than repeatedly on the same file. Everything happens in your browser, so the file never leaves your device.
How to carousel splitter
- Drop a wide image — a panorama or a long graphic works best.
- Choose the slide shape and how many slides you want.
- Download them numbered, and post them in that order.
Frequently asked questions
- Why do the slides line up?
- Because each one is a straight vertical cut of the same picture, at the same scale. Tools that fit each slide separately break the join — which is the entire effect you were after.
- What image should I start from?
- One as wide as the carousel is long: for three square slides, roughly 3:1. If yours is narrower, the cut takes the tallest strip that fits and centres it.
- Do my files get uploaded?
- No. This tool runs entirely in your browser, so the file never leaves your device.
