Free browser tool. Distinct from Grid Maker. Not affiliated with Instagram.

How to use

Three steps to carousel slides

Forward order only — swipe 01 first. Profile reverse-order naming belongs on Grid Maker.

Upload a wide or tall image

Panoramas and long strips work best. Fogkits stays in your browser — nothing is uploaded for this tool.

Choose slide count and axis

Pick 3–10 slides. Wide sources default to left→right; tall sources to top→bottom. Review the numbered sequence preview.

Download numbered slides

Export a ZIP where 01 is the first swipe. Upload to Instagram as a carousel in that order (forward — not profile reverse order).

Use cases

When to split into a carousel

Product lookbooks

Turn one wide studio rail into a swipeable set without redesigning each frame.

Story panoramas

Guide viewers across a landscape left to right inside a single post.

Tall tutorials

Slice a vertical how-to strip into ordered steps for mobile scrolling.

Why choose Fogkits

Why split carousels here

Built for swipe sequences — intentionally different from the profile grid maker.

Ordered 1×N export

Slides are named 01-slide onward so camera-roll sort matches swipe order.

Horizontal and vertical carousel split axis

Axis-aware splits

Wide sources split horizontally; tall sources vertically — override anytime.

Sequence preview

See every slide card with numbers before you encode the ZIP.

Feed aspect guidance

Copy notes the common ~3:4 / 4:5 feed preview so first-slide crops are not a surprise.

Browser-local privacy

No upload for this tool. Encode stays on-device like other Fogkits client utilities.

Carousel splitter distinct from grid maker

Not a grid clone

No publish-order reverse naming, no 3×3 profile puzzle — that lives on Grid Maker.

Sequence proof

Swipe order, not profile order

Carousel posts play forward. Upload slide 01 first. Reserve reverse publish-order naming for multi-post profile grids on Instagram Grid Maker. In-feed, Instagram may show a taller crop (~3:4 / 4:5) — check the opening slide on a phone.

Forward 01→N

Up to 10 slides

Carousel splitting never leaves this tab for the core export path. No account required.

Instagram carousel splitter questions

What does an Instagram carousel splitter do?

It cuts one wide or tall image into ordered slides for a single swipe post. Fogkits numbers files in swipe sequence and keeps processing on this device.

How is this different from Instagram Grid Maker?

Grid Maker builds a multi-post profile puzzle with publish-order naming. Carousel Splitter builds 1×N slides for one carousel post with forward swipe numbering.

What aspect ratio should carousel slides use?

You can export whatever the source crop produces. In the Instagram home feed, posts often appear closer to ~3:4 or 4:5 with letterboxing — preview the first slide on your phone before publishing.

Is the carousel splitter free?

Yes. Browser-local export is free with no credits. Download the numbered ZIP when the sequence looks right.

Does Fogkits post the carousel for me?

No. You download slides and upload them yourself. Fogkits is not affiliated with Meta/Instagram.

Wide vs tall — which split axis should I use?

Wide images default to horizontal (left→right). Tall images default to vertical (top→bottom). You can override the axis in the controls.

How many slides can I export?

Presets cover 3, 4, 5, 7, and 10 slides. Custom counts from 2 to 10 match common Instagram carousel limits.
