How to create a carousel post
Open a Buzz to LinkedIn, Instagram or TikTok, press Carousel in the composer's tools and pick Make a carousel.
A carousel holds 2 to 10 pages, and Buzz can write them in your brand's voice.
One carousel goes to LinkedIn as a PDF, to Instagram as slides and to TikTok as a photo slideshow.
Make the carousel
1. Start a Buzz and tick LinkedIn, Instagram or TikTok.
2. Press Carousel in the composer's tools, then Make a carousel.
3. Pick a Look, how many Pages and the Page size.
4. Say What it's about and press Write the pages, or press Start with blank pages to write them yourself.
5. Change any page in the studio, then press Done to go back to the post.
Note: Already have slides? Press Upload your own slides and pick 2 to 10 JPG, PNG or WebP files. Each file becomes one page, in the order of the file names.
Pick the right page size
| Page size | Goes to |
|---|---|
| 4:5 | LinkedIn, Instagram and TikTok |
| 9:16 | LinkedIn and TikTok, filling the phone screen |
Posting to Instagram's feed? Use 4:5. To change it later, open Whole carousel in the studio and press Switch to 4:5. Your words and pictures stay.
Schedule or post it
Back in the composer, the carousel stands where the post's pictures would be. Press Schedule or Drop a Buzz as usual. Buzzmark makes the PDF and slides each platform needs first, so the button reads Making the PDF… for a moment.
Questions
Why won't my carousel go to Instagram?
Instagram's feed takes pages up to 4:5, and a story can't be a carousel. Switch the carousel to 4:5 in the studio, or untick Instagram.
Can I post a carousel to X or Facebook?
No. A carousel goes to LinkedIn, Instagram and TikTok only. With another platform ticked, the send stops and says so.
