How to Create and Schedule Multi-Image Posts in MorningAI
Why This Matters
Running a social media strategy shouldn't mean juggling five different tools. Whether you're launching a product collection, showcasing multiple angles of your work, or testing different visual styles, multi-image posts (like Instagram carousels) consistently drive higher engagement than single-image posts.
MorningAI lets you brew up multiple branded images at once, then schedule them as a single cohesive post across your social channels. No exports. No uploads. No switching between design tools and scheduling platforms. Everything happens in one place.
Step-by-Step: Create and Schedule Multi-Image Posts
1. Select Social Media from the Dashboard
Navigate to the social media post section and select your target platform (Instagram, Facebook, or LinkedIn).
2. Select Multiple Layouts
When the layout selector appears:
- Your brand-specific layouts appear by default
- Browse standard layouts if you need additional options
- Select multiple layouts by clicking each one you want to use
There's no limit to how many layouts you can choose. The more you select, the more visual options you'll generate.
3. Write Your Brief and Apply Brand Assets
Click Continue and enter your creative brief. This is where you tell MorningAI what you want to create. Need ideas? Check out some sample briefs.
Then apply your brand intelligence:
- Brand Styles: Select which visual style guideline to use
- CustomerDNA: Target a specific audience segment if relevant
- ProductDNA: Add products you want to feature in the images
Click Generate. MorningAI will create an image for each layout selected.
4. Review and Edit Your Generated Images
Once generation completes, review all your images. You can:
- Click into any image to make edits
- Add text boxes or other elements
- Make color, layout, or content adjustments
Think of this as your editing pass. The AI got you 90% there. Now make it perfect.
5. Select Your Caption
Navigate to the captions section and choose the caption that best matches your creative direction. You can always edit it later in the publishing flow.
6. Set Up Your Post for Publishing
Click the Share button, then navigate to the Publish tab.
Configure your post:
- Channel: Select Instagram, Facebook, or LinkedIn
- Page: Choose the specific business page if you manage multiple
- Caption: Review and edit your caption text as needed
7. Choose Your Images and Schedule
Under Post Images, select which generated images you want to include in your post. You can:
- Select as many images as you want from your brief
- Click to deselect and reorder them
- Preview how they'll appear in sequence
Choose your publishing option:
- Schedule for Later: Select a date and time
- Publish Now: Push it live immediately
Click your chosen option. Your multi-image post will publish as a carousel with all selected images in one cohesive post.
Real-World Use Cases
Product Launch: Generate images of a new product in lifestyle, product-focused, and close-up layouts. Schedule them as a carousel to show multiple angles and contexts in one scrollable post.
Seasonal Campaign: Create multiple variations of a holiday promotion using different brand styles. Test which visual approach resonates by scheduling different combinations to your channels.
Service Showcase: A consultant can generate images highlighting different service benefits (speed, expertise, results) in branded layouts, then schedule them as one educational carousel post.
Pro Tips
Use Made For You posts as creative starting points. The briefs MorningAI writes for your Social Media Made for You are already tailored to your brand and products. Click any automated post, jump to the Layouts tab, select additional formats, and generate variations. Same strategic concept, different visual executions, no new brief required.
Use CustomerDNA to personalize at scale. If you have multiple audience segments configured, generate different image sets for each. Schedule the same product with different visual treatments to different channels based on where each audience spends time.
Schedule in batches during content planning sessions. Generate and schedule a week's worth of multi-image posts in one sitting. Use the date and time selectors to space them out strategically across your content calendar.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I want to change the image order after scheduling? You'll need to edit the scheduled post in your social media channel's native scheduler or reschedule from MorningAI. The reordering happens during the selection phase before you hit schedule.
Do all social channels support multi-image posts the same way? Instagram displays them as carousels that users swipe through. Facebook shows them as multi-image posts. LinkedIn displays them in a grid that expands when clicked. The functionality is similar, but the user experience varies slightly by platform.
How many images should I include in one post? Instagram allows up to 10 images in a carousel. Facebook supports multiple images, but engagement often drops after 5-6. Start with 3-5 strong images that tell a cohesive story. Quality over quantity.
