Is there a limit to how many photos I can include in an Instagram Reel?

No, there’s no limit on the number of photos in a Reel. What limits you is the total length of the Reel (up to 3 minutes) and how long each photo displays. If your Reel is 60 seconds and each photo shows for 6 seconds, you can fit 10 photos. But if you reduce each photo to 3 seconds, you can fit 20 photos in that same 60 seconds. Adjust the duration per image to fit as many as you need within your chosen Reel length.
