What is Carousel cover?
The carousel cover is the first slide, the one the feed shows before any swipe and the one that stays in the profile grid. It carries the hook: a short, large title, a concrete promise or a question, and the brand’s visual identity. The common mistake is putting the content on the cover already, giving no reason to swipe; the other is a pretty cover that does not say what the post is about. The cover also has to work as a thumbnail in the grid, next to eight others, and have text readable on a phone.
