Carousels earn some of the best reach and saves on Instagram, and they're also the most tedious format to produce: every post is five to ten designed slides. This workflow separates the two jobs. Design the slide layouts once, then create each new carousel by typing its content into a spreadsheet row. Orshot renders the slides and publishes the post.
Who runs carousels this way
The sheet is the content calendar
Each row is one carousel. Columns hold each slide's text, plus any image URLs:
| AHook | BSlide 2 | CSlide 3 | DCTA | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 5 pricing mistakes to avoid | Mistake 1: anchoring low | Mistake 2: one plan | Follow for more |
| 2 | What 100 landing pages taught us | Lesson 1: one CTA | Lesson 2: social proof up top | Save this post |
| 3 | 3 cold email openers that work | Opener 1: the specific compliment | Opener 2: the mutual | Try them this week |
Rendered from row 1, one per row
Orshot fills the matching multi-page template and renders every slide with your fonts, colors, and layout. Long headlines auto-fit inside their boxes, so a wordy slide 3 doesn't break the design.
Publish everywhere at once
The same run can publish to Instagram and LinkedIn together, which is exactly where carousel content performs. Prefer a review step? Point the destination at Google Drive or Slack instead and post by hand after a look.
