Threads supports carousel posts, letting you share up to 20 images or videos in a single swipeable post. Here's how to do it.
What Is a Carousel Post on Threads?
A carousel is a multi-slide post users swipe through. It's great for tips, tutorials, before/afters, or storytelling — and tends to get more engagement than a single image.
Steps to Post a Carousel on Threads
- Open the Threads app and tap the + icon to start a new post.
- Tap the photo/gallery icon.
- Select multiple images or videos (up to 20) from your camera roll, in the order you want them to appear.
- Rearrange slides if needed by dragging them in the preview.
- Add your caption, hashtags, or alt text.
- Tap Post.
That's it — your carousel is live and swipeable.
Tips for a Better-Performing Carousel
- Start with a strong hook slide — it decides whether people swipe further.
- Keep text minimal per slide — one idea per slide is easier to read.
- Use consistent fonts and colors across slides for a clean, branded look.
- End with a call-to-action — ask people to follow, comment, or share.
Designing Carousel Slides Without Design Skills
If you don't want to design each slide manually in Canva or Figma, a tool like CarouselMaker.co can turn a topic, blog post, or PDF into a ready-to-export carousel in seconds — sized correctly for Threads and other platforms, no design experience needed.
Final Thoughts
Carousels are one of the easiest ways to boost engagement on Threads. Keep slides simple, visually consistent, and value-packed, and you're set.
