In the fast-paced world of social media, staying ahead of the curve is crucial for content creators and brands. TikTok, the platform known for its dynamic and engaging video content, is giving creators a new way to captivate their audience: photo carousels. We’re thrilled to announce that besides videos, Publer now supports scheduling TikTok photo carousels with up to 35 images, making it easier than ever to leverage this feature for your content strategy.
What Are TikTok Carousels?
TikTok carousels, also known as ‘TikTok Photo Mode,’ are sequences of up to 35 images that allow creators to tell a story, showcase a progression, or present a series of visually compelling content. While TikTok has traditionally been a video-first platform, photo carousels have quickly gained traction, offering a fresh way to engage with audiences. Since their introduction in September 2022, TikTok carousels have become a favorite among creators for their ability to deliver more nuanced and detailed narratives compared to single-image or video posts.
Why TikTok Carousels Matter
If you’re wondering why you should incorporate carousels into your TikTok strategy, the answer lies in the algorithm. TikTok is increasingly prioritizing carousel content, offering creators 2.9x more comments, 1.9x more likes, and 2.6x more shares compared to other formats. This shift provides a golden opportunity for creators to boost engagement, increase visibility, and connect with a broader audience.
The benefits of TikTok carousels go beyond just numbers. Carousels offer unique storytelling opportunities that are difficult to achieve with video alone. They allow you to dive deeper into your content, present multiple facets of a story, and give your audience a reason to keep swiping.
