Create Twitter/X Carousel Posts That Go Viral

Yes! While Twitter/X doesn't have a dedicated "carousel" format like Instagram, you can create carousel-style posts by attaching up to 4 images to a single tweet. Users tap on images to view them. For longer carousels, you can create a thread with multiple images per tweet. CarouselMaker.co helps you design these visual slides.

The recommended image size for Twitter/X posts is 1600 × 900 pixels (16:9 landscape ratio) for single images, or 1080 × 1080 (1:1 square) when posting multiple images. When posting 2-4 images, they display in a grid layout. CarouselMaker.co supports both formats.

You can attach up to 4 images to a single tweet on Twitter/X. The images display in a grid layout that users can click to expand. For carousel-style content with more than 4 slides, create a thread and attach up to 4 images per tweet.

Yes! CarouselMaker.co offers a generous free plan that lets you create unlimited carousel designs. Generate carousels from topics, text, and URLs. Export as images for Twitter/X. Upgrade to Pro for additional features like custom font uploads and watermark removal.

Unlike Canva which only provides design templates, CarouselMaker.co uses AI to actually write your carousel content — hooks, slides, and CTAs — from just a topic or URL. You get complete, ready-to-post carousels in minutes. Plus, CarouselMaker.co exports perfectly sized images (1600×900 or 1080×1080) ready for Twitter/X upload. In Canva, you'd need to manually resize and crop each image. CarouselMaker.co is purpose-built for carousels, making the entire process 10x faster.

To create a visual thread: 1) Design your carousel slides using CarouselMaker.co, 2) Download as individual images, 3) Create your first tweet with up to 4 images, 4) Click the + button to add another tweet to the thread, 5) Add more images, 6) Continue until your carousel is complete, 7) Post the thread.

The most engaging Twitter/X visual content includes: data visualizations and charts, tips and framework breakdowns, thread summaries with key takeaways, product announcements, before/after comparisons, industry insights, thought leadership content, and infographic-style slides. Visual tweets consistently outperform text-only tweets.

Yes! CarouselMaker.co provides full design customization including: professional templates, custom color palettes, font selection (including custom font uploads), background images, your logo/branding, text styling, and slide layouts. Create a consistent visual identity for your Twitter/X content.

Yes! Tweets with images get 150% more retweets, 2.8x more engagement, and significantly more impressions than text-only tweets. Multi-image tweets (carousel style) perform even better because they take up more screen space and encourage users to interact with the content.

While CarouselMaker.co is designed for organic content, the images you create can be used in X (Twitter) Ads. X supports carousel ads where each card can have a different headline, image, and destination URL — perfect for product showcases and brand campaigns.

X multi-image posts show up to 4 images in a grid within a single tweet. Threads are multiple connected tweets — each can have up to 4 images. Carousels are best for quick visual content (4 slides or less), while threads work better for longer, narrative content where you can pair text with visuals in each tweet.
