What is an Instagram carousel post?
An Instagram carousel post is a swipeable set of slides that tells a small story or shares a list of tips in one post. Each slide usually carries a headline and a short piece of tip text in a consistent style, so followers keep swiping to the end. Creators and brands use carousels to teach, to build saves, and to keep people engaged longer than a single image.
With Morphic you design these slides from a text prompt in your browser. Describe the layout, the headline, the tip text, and your brand colors, then refine the wording and download in HD. You get consistent, on-brand slides without opening design software.
1.
Outline the slides
Write the headline and the tip for each slide before you generate anything. Planning the sequence keeps the message clear and the slides consistent.
2.
Describe the slide layout
Open Morphic and describe a square slide: a headline at the top, tip text below, and space for a simple graphic. Ask for a couple of slide designs so you can compare where the text sits.
3.
Apply your brand colors
Ask for your brand palette, a matching accent, and a font style that stays crisp on mobile. Keep strong contrast so the headline and tip read clearly on every slide.
4.
Keep the set consistent
Reuse the same layout and colors for each slide so the carousel feels like one piece. Regenerate any slide where the type looks cramped or the style drifts from the others.
5.
Export and post the set
Preview the slides in order at the square size Instagram uses so nothing is cut. Download in HD, then upload them as a single carousel post.
Two slide designs from the same carousel, each carrying the headline and tip text.
