Method #2: Upload multiple photos to Pinterest with Ads Manager

A carousel is a Pin that contains multiple photos. Carousels are an excellent method to highlight distinct product characteristics, advertise many items at once, or convey your brand's narrative.

The Carousel appears on people's home feeds just like every other Pin. They may directly swipe through the multiple visuals from the newsfeed.

Alternatively, users may click on the Carousel and scroll through each image and its associated site, basically swiping through the various landing pages. When a carousel is saved, the entire Pin is saved, including all of the cards inside it.

Remember that the Carousel format is only available if you have a Pinterest business account and want to run an ad.

You can add multiple pictures on Pinterest as a Carousel either using the Ads Manager or the bulk editor.

If you wish to add multiple pictures on Pinterest via Ads Manager, follow the steps below.

1. Log in to Pinterest with your business account.
2. At the top of the page, choose "Ads," then click "Create ad."
3. First, select your campaign objective and a goal, then fill in your campaign details.
4. You'll determine your budget at the campaign level if you're conducting a campaign with the consideration goal. If you do not wish to advertise your Carousel, you don't need to fill the budget section.
5. Once everything is ready, click "Continue" to create your Carousel campaign and move on to create your ad groups.
6. If you wish to advertise your Carousel, fill out the Ad group information, targeting details, budget & schedule, and optimization & delivery sections.
