5 Facts About Instagram Edits Carousel Posts
The new carousel workflow is available from the Projects section in Edits. Users can select Carousels and then add photos and videos to the same post. This provides a way to build a mixed-media carousel without switching between separate editing workflows.

Edits supports a custom canvas for the carousel, allowing users to work with different layouts for their selected media. Photos and videos can be combined within the same carousel, while the editing process remains inside the Edits app.
Layouts, Text Styles and Stickers
Users can experiment with layouts and reuse fonts and text styles already available in Edits. This means text treatment can be carried across the carousel instead of being created separately for each piece of media.
The update also supports custom stickers made by cutting out subjects from users’ photos. These cutouts can be used as additional visual elements while creating the carousel.
Export Instagram Edits Carousels
After completing a carousel, users can export it directly to Instagram or download it. Instagram’s announcement describes the Edits app as free, so the new carousel workflow does not require a separate paid editing application.
Instagram Edits Carousel Availability
The feature is available now on iOS through the Carousels option in Projects. Android support is planned, but Instagram has not provided a confirmed date for its arrival.
That means Android users should not rely on a specific rollout date yet. Instagram has only confirmed that the feature is coming soon to Android.
Conclusion
Edits adds a straightforward way to build custom Instagram carousels with mixed photos and videos, layouts, reusable text styles and cutout stickers. The feature is live on iOS, while Android availability is still to be announced.
