The short answer

A carousel is a post or ad combining several slides the user swipes through: on Instagram several photos or videos in one post, and on Facebook also cards, each with its own photo and link. A carousel ad in Ads Manager takes up to ten cards.

Why does Carousel matter to a seller?

Because the first slide attracts and the rest explain: one product from several angles, several products, or steps of use — and a user who swipes spends longer with the post.

Frequently asked questions

1

Is a carousel better than a video?

Each has a job: video stops the scroll, the carousel shows detail and comparison. Try both on the same product and compare the results.

2

What goes on the first slide?

The product and its offer in a sentence, and a hint that there is more if they swipe.
