Make a LinkedIn carousel. Export a PDF that just works.

How LinkedIn carousels work

A LinkedIn carousel is a document post: you upload a PDF and LinkedIn shows it as pages people swipe through. LinkedIn accepts PDF, PPT, PPTX, DOC and DOCX files up to 100MB and 300 pages, one document per post, and asks you to give the document a title. PDFs with multiple layers must be flattened, and any animation shows as a still image.

What this LinkedIn carousel generator exports

A flattened PDF with one image per page, so what you see in the editor is exactly what people swipe through. It also saves each slide as a PNG, in case you want to post one on its own, and it suggests a document title from your hook slide so LinkedIn's title field is never an afterthought.

What size should carousel slides be?

LinkedIn does not publish a page size for document posts, and its document ad specs accept vertical, horizontal and square pages. Two shapes are the most practical:

• Portrait 4:5 (1080 x 1350). Matches the vertical ratio LinkedIn recommends for single image ads and fills more of a phone screen. It is the default here.

• Square 1:1 (1080 x 1080). A safe choice that also works when you reuse slides as single images.

Keep every slide the same size. Mixed sizes look broken when people swipe.

How many slides?

For document ads, LinkedIn recommends staying under 10 pages. That works for regular posts too: a hook slide, 5 to 8 slides with one idea each, and a closing slide that says who you are and what to do next. If you need more than 10, you probably have two carousels. Fewer, stronger slides beat a long deck people abandon halfway.

Slides people actually swipe

• The first slide is the hook. It is what people see before they swipe. Make it a promise or a question, in large type.

• One idea per slide. If a slide needs a paragraph, it is two slides.

• Big text. Most people swipe on a phone. If you cannot read it at arm's length, nobody will.

• The same layout every time. Consistent placement makes a carousel feel designed, not assembled.

• End with one next step. Follow, comment or save, not all three.

• Name on every slide. Slides get screenshotted and shared. A small author line keeps your name attached.

Want structures to start from? The LinkedIn carousel templates page has layouts to copy, and the LinkedIn hook generator writes the first slide.

From one carousel to a content system

A carousel costs more effort than a text post, so it should carry your best idea. VoiceMoat helps you find and shape those ideas: audenAI learns from your own content and drafts posts in your voice, and Media Studio turns a post into a designed carousel in a few clicks. Draft the post first with the LinkedIn post generator, then turn the strongest one into slides.
