How to Make Infinite Scrollable Carousels in Canva (Step by Step)

Have you seen Instagram carousels where a photo, graphic, or piece of text seems to continue from one slide into the next? Instead of each slide looking like a separate graphic, the whole carousel feels like one long design that you swipe through.

If you’re wondering how to make an infinite scroll carousel in Canva, the trick is creating the design as one large image first. Then you split that design into individual slides that Instagram can recognize as a carousel.

That sounds more complicated than it actually is. The part that tends to trip people up is knowing what size to make the original Canva design, where each Instagram slide will begin and end, and how to split everything evenly when you’re finished.

In this tutorial, I walk you through the whole process inside Canva. You’ll see how to set up your custom Canva document based on the number of carousel slides you want, add guides so you can see exactly where each slide will be divided, and position your photos, graphics, and text so they continue across those lines.

I also show you how to use Canva’s Image Splitter app to turn the finished design into separate images, rebuild those images as individual Canva pages, download them, and get them onto your phone ready to post on Instagram. If you want more than five connected slides, you’ll also see how to repeat the process to create a longer carousel.
