Carousel Post Layout: SwipeMix

What SwipeMix is for

SwipeMix is a carousel maker and photo collage maker aimed at people who post to Instagram. The developer describes three jobs: splitting a wide photo into swipeable slides, combining several photos into a grid, and arranging a feed of matching posts.

Splitting one photo into a swipeable carousel

Give the app a single landscape photo and it cuts the image into slides that line up as a viewer swipes through them. The developer says the slides are aligned so the picture reads as one continuous scene across the set.

You can also start from empty and build a multi-image scroll post. The slide count and the ratio of each slide are adjustable.

Making photo grids and collages

The collage side offers templates for feed posts and for stories, in vertical and square formats. A photo grid can hold 2, 4, 6 or more images, and the freeform layout tools let you arrange photos without starting from a template.

The listing also mentions an image combiner that builds multi-photo posts from your gallery, and says no design experience is needed.

Adjusting spacing, ratios and grid size

The layout tools include adjustable spacing, aspect ratios and grid size, so the gaps between photos and the shape of the grid can be changed rather than fixed. Layout templates are grouped for carousels, grids and collages, and the developer says they draw on popular Instagram layouts.

Exporting and sharing finished posts

Finished designs export in portrait, square and landscape formats. The developer says exports keep full quality with no compression. A collage can be shared straight to Instagram from the app, which the listing presents as a single workflow.
