➡️ Instagram’s New Carousel Feature – Game Changer!

🚀 NEW Instagram feature! You can now mix horizontal and vertical photos in the same carousel! No more forced crops—Instagram adjusts the background to fit.
📌 It still keeps everything in a 4x5 frame, filling gaps with your background color.
⚠️ Limitations: No full 9x16 verticals.
📸 To try it: ➕ → Post → select photos → find the Mixed Ratio option → post!

😂 finally Instagram does something that should've been there the whole time

[lauraacheson]

it seems to be gone now. I was trying to add a mixed carousel today and there is no longer a button covering giving you that option. what is the deal?

[MrCrxsilva]

You can even mix up Videos with images in Carousel 😊

Oh my god! That was so annoying! I’m glad they finally got it fixed!

Still no IG mix ratio option for me. And now my carousel's mixed videos and photos doesn't work anymore in the last week. For some reason it does not recognize the first video format which I have as 1080 x 1350 like all my carousels in the last couple of years. Bummer!!!

Sadly it doesn’t seem to have rolled out to everyone yet. I still don’t have access. Im based out of the US.

Been one of the best things they’ve introduced in some time. Now if they could just give me my full photo that would be great. Or prioritize photos again lol. Gotta take the wins where they come tho.

Thanks F, why isn't this on from default haha

[ImageMaven]

No one is talking about it because everyone is leaving instagram, and they don’t care.

It’s great cuts out that photoshop step

Finally! So tired of having to add borders to images in Lightroom. 2 app workflow -> 1 app handles it all

Did Instagram change their way of adding carousels and videos? I have been using it for the last year no problem but now when I add a video first in format 1080 x 1350 which all my carousel images are as well, they all have a big black bar between the images and the carousel no longer is sweeping perfectly? I just posted about 2 weeks the same exact way but apparently it no longer works. My only option is to put an image first the press the arrows to expand it to the full size of instagram but then is makes my carousel images bigger and cut off from their original 1080 x 1350 size? Anybody having the same problem?
