How Mixed Instagram Carousels Work
A carousel is a collection, not one uniform image. Each slide can have its own ratio, dimensions and media type.

Expect different ratios
Instagram can display slides with different source ratios. The preview uses the feed presentation while opening a slide can show its source dimensions.
A mixed carousel should not be forced into one crop when the goal is to preserve each item.
Photos and videos stay separate
Photo slides download as images and video slides as MP4 files. The ZIP keeps those files separate and follows the carousel's order.
Choose individual files
Use the carousel preview to select only the slides you need, or download one item directly if a ZIP is unnecessary.
Treat every carousel slide as its own source file; different ratios and media types are expected.
