1Overview

What is the Carousel format?

Carousel ads let you display up to ten images or cards in a single ad unit. Each card can have its own link, making carousels ideal for storytelling, product showcases, and process explanations. The swipe mechanic — native to TikTok, Snapchat, and Instagram alike — boosts engagement by turning passive viewers into active participants.
