The power of visuals in capturing attention, especially on social media, is undisputed. And when it comes to engaging your audience, carousels are a fantastic way to showcase a series of images or tell a story through a set of connected visuals.
Carousels are a series of visuals shown side by side in a scrolling format. They provide an interactive way for users to engage with your content as they can swipe left or right to view the different images.
Since carousels allow multiple images in a single post, they offer more opportunities for telling a captivating story, showcasing your products, or elaborating on a topic while capturing the users' attention.
Did you know that the only way to post a carousel on a Facebook Page (outside of advertising) is by using an API like rapidely's?
Simple prepare a carrousel, add your image and a FB carrousel URL when preparing your post and "voilà"... you're done.
Facebook crops carousels to a square format even if sent a portrait or landscape image, so make sure you prepare your images with the right size.
Media size recommended: 1080 x 1080 pixels
Sadly, Linkedin doesn't yet allow third party apps like rapidely to post carrousels.
If you want to post a carousel to Linkedin:
Head over to Canva (or your favorite design tool) to prepare the carousel's visual content.
Export the carousel as a PDF.
Create a post in Linkedin directly, and upload the PDF as a document to share.
Paste the caption you created with rapide.ly
structure and caption.
