I have been getting a lot of questions about how I make these sliders on IG! So I wanted to share my knowledge with you and offer a free template! Keep scrolling.
To start, you will need either Photoshop or another or another pixel-based photo editor that lets you work with layers. You’ll also need a beginners understanding as to how Instagram images sizing works, see the break down below.
So if you want to create a panorama made out of two vertical photos, you’ll need to duplicate the pixels lengthwise, while the height stays the same: 1080 x 1350 becomes 2160 x 1350. Or if you want to create a panorama made out of three images, you’ll use 3240 x 1350. The same applies if you’re starting off with square images, which will fit into a panoramic space with twice the width (2160 x 1080).
To make it easy for you, I’ve included a link below to download my template package for FREE.
Once you open the template, here are the instructions to follow.
Woohoo! Have fun creating those eye catching sliders! Please let me know if you have questions.
xo,
