Key takeaways
- One sermon typically yields one to two carousels of five to eight slides.
- Carousels reward swipe depth: one idea per slide beats dense walls of text.
- 1080×1350 (4:5) or 1080×1080 square are the safest feed sizes for Instagram and Facebook.
- Pair carousels with short-form clips so the same sermon covers both still and video formats.
