How to Create the Most Effective Multi-Image Posts on Facebook and Twitter

Multi-Image Posts on Facebook and Twitter:- Do your social media visuals look good on all social media platforms? Is it accurate to say that you are making various pictures for each kind of social media platform? Individual social feeds are full and sometimes chaotic, getting seen by your target group can be difficult to achieve. Want to be seen? Get creative. 

One approach is to begin testing multi-picture, web-based media posts. Truth be told, posts with different pictures have proved to get more reach, which in turn means more eyeballs and a greater reach-out to your audience.

• Go to the business page
• Click on Share a photo or video
• Click on Upload photos/videos

Visual Storytelling Via Carousels

Carousels are a great way to get your audience engaged with your post. You can create a story out of multiple images. As the users swipe through the images, your story builds up.

Check an example of Subway featuring a carousel post about their employees enjoying a break.

Also an example of Cadbury Dairy Milk does good justice to a carousel storytelling post.

Showcase Your Products Via GIFs

You can create short GIFs to weave your images together in the order you showcase your product and its multiple facets.

Via Collages on Facebook

Facebook will endeavor to make the most attractive arrangement it can out of the pictures you give it, and everything has to do with the perspective proportion of the principal picture you transfer.

From that point forward, pictures show up left to right. If by mistake you transfer faulty things, don’t stress because you can easily relocate the pictures into the correct flow before you publish. 

Despite the state of the pictures, if you transfer two pictures, they will appear next to each other like this:

If the first image you upload is a square, Facebook will create a grid, like the ones shown here:

Any more images after the fourth will be accessible by clicking on the final image as shown below:

You can now format your images accordingly, and put up a collage on Facebook!

360 Degree Effect on Facebook

Although Facebook has the panoramic view feature, it hasn’t enabled sharing of these images.

With the help of a good graphic designer, you can cut out a panoramic photo and into tiles, and then piece it together. Users can then swipe through this image and get the whole panoramic view.

Via Twitter on Desktop

Once you go to Add photos or video on Twitter, a pop-up screen appears, asking you to select your photos.

Twitter allows for a maximum of four photos to be uploaded at a time. It does not have the drag and drop feature like Facebook, so you will need to upload them in the order that you want them to appear in your tweet.

Via Collages on Twitter

It is a known fact that photo blasts or tweet blasts (posting a string of tweets with images all in a row) can cost you followers. However, you can surely post four or fewer photos together in one tweet. Let’s look at some examples.
