What size should a LinkedIn carousel be?

1080 × 1350 pixels (4:5 portrait) is the most popular size, because it takes up the most space in the mobile feed. 1080 × 1080 pixels (square) also works well. Every slide in a carousel should be the same size.

How many slides should a LinkedIn carousel have?

Most effective carousels have 6 to 10 slides: a cover, one slide per idea, and a closing call to action. LinkedIn accepts documents with many more pages, but shorter carousels are more likely to be read to the end.

Do I upload a carousel as a PDF or as images?

Upload it as a PDF. On LinkedIn, start a post, choose "Add a document", and upload the PDF. LinkedIn shows each page as a slide people can swipe through. Uploading several images creates a grid instead, not a swipeable carousel.

Is this carousel maker free? Is there a watermark?

Yes, it is free, with no sign-up and no watermark. The only branding on your slides is your own name, photo, and logo.

Can I use my brand colours and fonts?

Yes. Start from a template, then set your own background, text, and accent colours, choose a font pairing, and add your logo.

Is my content uploaded or stored?

No. Everything happens in your browser. Your slides, name, photo, and logo are saved only in this browser so you can come back to them. Slide images are not saved.

Why can’t I select the text in the downloaded PDF?

Each page is saved as a high-quality image, so your slides look exactly the same on every device, with your chosen fonts. LinkedIn displays document pages as images anyway, so this does not affect how your carousel appears in the feed.

Can I turn an existing LinkedIn post into a carousel?

Yes. Paste the post into the "Paste text" tab and each paragraph becomes a slide. You can also use the "Turn into carousel" button in the free LinkedIn Post Formatter or Post Analyzer.

How to make a LinkedIn carousel

Write your slides. Paste a post or outline and the generator splits it into slides, or write each slide yourself. Start with a cover slide that makes a clear promise, and end with a call to action.
Design it. Pick one of 6 templates, then change the colours and fonts to match your brand. Add your name, photo, and logo so every slide is recognisably yours.
Download and post. Download the PDF. On LinkedIn, start a post, choose "Add a document", upload the PDF, give it a title, and publish.

How to post a carousel on LinkedIn

Download your carousel as a PDF.
On LinkedIn, click Start a post.
Choose Add a document (under the "+" or "More" menu).
Upload the PDF and give it a short, descriptive title. The title is shown to readers.
Write a short caption that tells people why to swipe, then publish.

What makes a good LinkedIn carousel

A cover that makes a promise

The first slide decides whether people swipe. Say exactly what they will learn, such as "5 ways to…" or "How we cut onboarding time in half".

One idea per slide

Give each slide a short title and a few lines of support. If a slide needs more than about 40 words, split it in two.

Large, readable text

Most people read LinkedIn on a phone. Text that looks large on your monitor is small on a phone screen, so keep titles big and avoid long paragraphs.

Around 6 to 10 slides

Enough to deliver value without losing people halfway. The generator allows up to 20 slides.

A clear last slide

End with a question or a next step, such as "Which tip will you try first?" or "Follow for more", plus your name and photo so people know who to follow.
