Publish an Instagram carousel with Perroly
An carousel gathers several images or videos into one post the audience swipes through. Perroly schedules it like any other post, with media ordering on top.
Add several media files to the composer
In the composer, select your Instagram account, then add at least two images or videos. The composer automatically switches to carousel mode once a second media file is added.

Reorder the images
Drag each thumbnail to change the display order. The first image in the set is the one shown in the feed before the audience starts swiping.
Schedule and publish
Pick the date and time like for a regular post, then confirm. The carousel goes out as a single post on the chosen day, in the order you set.
