TikTok carousel specs and what makes one work

Post typePhoto mode (photo carousel)
Slide size1080 × 1920 px (9:16), full screen
Also accepted1080 × 1350 (4:5) · 1080 × 1080 (1:1), padded to fit
Max photos35 per post
ExportJPG per slide (ZIP)
Text safe areaKeep ~250 px clear at the bottom for caption and sound

Before you export

  • Slide 1 is a thumbnail and a hook at once — big text, four to eight words, no paragraph.
  • TikTok auto-advances photo carousels to the sound; keep slides skimmable in about two seconds each.
  • Leave the bottom quarter of each slide clear — the caption, username and sound label sit there.
  • Numbered slides (1/7, 2/7…) keep people swiping and make the post feel finished.

TikTok carousel template FAQ

What size should a TikTok carousel be?
1080×1920 (9:16) fills the screen, and it is what these templates use. TikTok also accepts 4:5 and 1:1 photos and pads them with a background.
How many photos can a TikTok carousel have?
Up to 35 photos in a single photo-mode post. Most high-performing carousels use 5–12.
How do I post a photo carousel on TikTok?
Export the slides, transfer them to your phone, tap + in TikTok, choose Upload, select the photos in order, then switch the post to Photo mode (not video) before adding sound and a caption.
What are BlueTok and RedTok?
BlueTok is TikTok’s educational side (explainers, life facts, science); RedTok is its darker storytelling side (mysteries, drama, scary stories). Both have templates here built the way those creators post.
Can I reuse the same carousel on Instagram?
Yes: switch the platform to Instagram 4:5 in the editor before exporting. Text placed inside the 9:16 safe area may need a nudge in the shorter frame.
