## Instagram Introduces Enhanced Carousel Editing in Edits App

Instagram has rolled out new carousel editing tools within its **Edits app**, expanding creative options for users to craft standout multi-post sequences. While Edits primarily focuses on video editing, the update now enables creators to refine carousels using the app’s existing creative toolkit.

### New Features for Carousel Creators

The update introduces tools such as:  
- Customizable **fonts and text styles**  
- Dynamic **layouts** for photos and videos  
- **Sticker cutouts** reusable across content  
- Overlays and effects  

Instagram stated:  
> *“Drop in photos and videos, play with fun layouts, repurpose Edits fonts and text styles, and cutout your own stickers to use across your content. It’s everything you love about the Edits app, on a new canvas for your ideas.”*

## Why Instagram Is Prioritizing Carousels

The move aligns with Instagram’s strategy to boost engagement through carousels. In 2024, Instagram Chief **Adam Mosseri** noted that carousels improve reach by keeping users longer in-stream. The platform also resurfaces carousels to followers, starting from the second slide upon app reopening.

Third-party data supports this focus:  
- **Buffer’s 2025 research** found carousels generate **12% higher engagement** per post than single-image updates.  

Recent carousel-focused updates include:  
- Post rearrangement options  
- Individual captions per carousel slide  

### Availability

The feature is currently live on **iOS Edits**, with an **Android release** coming soon.
