Instagram Carousel Size and Features
Just like regular posts, Instagram carousels can be posted in square, landscape, or portrait format.

Remember that, for now, all images within a single post must have the same format (Psst: testing is underway , so watch for future updates).

However, until this update is rolled out to all users, the shape chosen for the first slide in the carousel will apply to the rest of the carousel.

Instagram Carousel Sizes:
Landscape format: 1080 x 566 pixels
Portrait format: 1080 x 1350 pixels
Square format: 1080 x 1080 pixels
Aspect ratio: landscape (1.91:1), square (1:1), portrait (4:5)
Recommended image size: Width 1080 pixels, height between 566 and 1350 pixels (depending on whether the image is landscape or portrait).
Technical characteristics of video carousels on Instagram:
Duration: 3 to 60 seconds
Recommended formats: .MP4 and .MOV
Aspect ratio: landscape (1.91:1), square (1:1), portrait (4:5)
Maximum file size: 4 GB
Please note that Instagram does not consider video carousels to be reels. Therefore, they will not appear in the Reels tab and will not have the same functionality.
