Level up your TikTok content with Carousel Posts!
Creating TikTok Carousel
1. Create a post and choose the Post Type
In the Scheduler, create a new post and select the TikTok profile you want to publish to.
From the post type dropdown, choose Carousel – this format lets you combine up to 35 images into a single swipeable post.
If you want to create a post with a single picture, you can choose "Image Post" as your post type. 💡
2. Upload Images
Upload the images you want to include. Once they’re in, open Manage Images to drag and drop them into the order you want your audience to see them.
3. Add Title and Caption
Unlike TikTok videos, Image Posts and Carousels include a dedicated Title field, so make sure to fill it in – it’s often the first thing people see.
Then write a caption that gives your images some context, and add a few relevant hashtags to help new viewers discover your content. 🙌
Having writer's block? The AI Copywriter feature in ZoomSphere’s Scheduler helps you create engaging captions and saves your time. Learn more about it 👉 here.
4. Disclose Post Content
Under the post preview, you have two checkboxes that should flag whether it's branded content.
Your brand – check this option if you're promoting your brand.
Branded content – check this option if you're promoting another brand.
5. Add TikTok Trendy Music
Click the Add music to post and select a track from the Trending TikTok Music. You can even filter based on the Country or Genre.
For TikTok Carousels or Image posts, the whole track is selected.
💡 It is not a complete library of all music available on TikTok (TikTok does not offer that through its API), but rather a selection of currently trending tracks.

Combo Post
Want to publish the same Carousel to Instagram and Threads at the same time? Just select the additional platforms. To save time, use the Copy From feature to duplicate your content instead of starting from scratch.
