How to publish swipeable panorama images and landscape images on Instagram

By preparing multiple square photos that are connected horizontally, you can create a post on Instagram that you can swipe.
I created Instagram works like these in the following ways:

(5) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXn20WhJ7RR/

In (1) above, I used 4 squares arranged side by side in the center below. Since the maximum number of images that can be uploaded to Insta at one time is 10, I prepared two and a half images by copying.

The above (2) was cut out diagonally.

In (3) above, the square is cut out after rotating the following Street View image.

In (4) above, after shaping the row of soldiers in the Street View image below into a straight line, a square was cut out.

You can create swipeable Instagram posts using any image, as long as it’s 10 or fewer images that are continuous on the left and right.
I don’t think I need to explain the usage of Instagram because you are already using it correctly.

I will explain how to make (1) above.
The original image is the following Street View photo I took the other day.

First, I divided it into four parts every 90 degrees.
The four pieces to be cut out are the four squares that are lined up side by side in the center below.

I did the cutting work as follows.
The upper left coordinate is (0,0). The lower right is (7295,3647).
Since 7296/4 = 1824, the square that can divide the width of the image into four is 1824 dots on one side.

In order to cut off the top and bottom evenly, I cut out a rectangle from the coordinates (0,907) to the right end (7296 dots) in the Y direction and 1824 dots in the Y direction, and saved it as file 1.

Next, I cut out the coordinates of file 1 (0,1824) to the lower right corner and saved it as file 2.

Similarly, the coordinates (0,1824) of file 2 were cut out to the lower right corner and saved as file 3.

Similarly, the coordinates (0,1824) of file 3 were cut out to the lower right corner and saved as file 4.

I now have four rectangles with the left side of the cutout position trimmed as intended.
Next, truncate the right side of file 1 to file 4 above to make a square. Specifically, the coordinates (0,0)-(1824,1824) were cut out and saved with the same name.

File 4 is already a square, so I’ve done that for the other three.

I think there are various ways to create a square image.
If you have an app that makes these calculations and image segmentation easier, use it.
But I like to handle numbers with my own hands.

Hello :wave: @potaro67 though it looks difficult to understand, it’s a good post

I use a different way to do a swipe photos in IG by an app in my mobile.

It can be from 3 to 10 square photos :+1:

Thank you

Hello, @OSAMA_1

Thank you.
It sounds good to have an app that can do this image segmentation.

Yes @potaro67 it’s easy way and fast so you can share the cutout square photos direct from the app to IG
