CAROUSELS & SOCIAL STORIES

Social carousels that reward the next swipe

A carousel is a small sequence with a promise. Give the first card a clear reason to read, let the middle deliver on it and end with something the audience can use.

Build a sequence, not a stack of posters

An opening hook, three useful points and a practical takeaway can be more effective than a long list of competing messages. The cards should share a visual language while each has a distinct role.

Tessuvi's social formats let you start with a square, portrait feed or vertical story canvas. Choose the size before arranging your content. Check the destination's current publishing requirements and preview the result on a phone; a platform may crop previews differently from the opened post.

Use a visual rhythm that serves the message

  1. Open with a recognisable situation

    Use a short statement, question or contrast that makes sense without the caption. A large heading and one image are often enough.

  2. Vary the explanation

    Alternate a numbered step, a comparison, a quote or a diagram according to the idea. The block library gives you editable starting points rather than finished claims.

  3. Leave room to breathe

    Keep the same margin system and a small type palette across the sequence. View all cards together and remove decorative elements that compete with the text.

  4. Close with a useful action

    Summarise the lesson, suggest a next step or offer a checklist. Put lengthy source detail in the caption or a supporting document instead of shrinking the final card.

Prepare the right files

Export each finished card as an image and keep the filenames in sequence when uploading. Tessuvi also provides a published link for viewing the work in a browser. A share link does not publish an image carousel to a social account for you.

Square · 1080 × 1080A balanced feed card fits the intended destination.
Portrait feed · 1080 × 1350You need more vertical reading space.
Vertical story · 1080 × 1920The destination expects a full-height story canvas.

A practical publishing check

  • Read every card at phone size, not only at editor zoom.
  • Check that no heading crosses an image, page edge or reserved interface area.
  • Replace example figures, image credits and placeholder names before export.
  • Keep a copy of the editable project so that changing one fact does not require rebuilding the whole sequence.
