Posting order and carousel slides
On a 3 by 3 grid the default order numbers the bottom-right slice as 1, the first piece to post, and the top-left as 9. Reading order numbers the top-left as 1. Square tiles, 4:5 portrait tiles, or the photo's own shape are all available. Original pixels keeps each slice at the crop size, and 1080 px wide scales every slice for a feed.
Instagram carousel mode crops the photo into 2 to 10 slides at 1080 by 1350, 1080 square, or 1080 by 1920. The left slide is tile 1. Numbers on the preview are a guide; the saved files are the photo slices themselves, packed in a ZIP that starts at tile 1.
