How to Create an Image Carousel

1. Sign in to Creator Studio.

4. Click + Add block.
   
   
   
   
5. Select Images and choose the image carousel block. Click Select Blocks to apply the block to your campaign.
   
   
   
   
6. On the Design page, hover over the block and choose the Edit icon to begin customizing the image carousel.
   
   
   
   
7. Click + New Image to upload an image, select an image from the image library, or link to an image URL. For this example, we'll select an image from the Library. (Refer to our content specifications for supported image types and the recommended size ratio.)
   
   
   
   
8. Search for an image and then hover over the image and click Select. Once you have selected all of your images, click Select Images to add the images to the carousel. Note that the image carousel has a limit of 10 images.
