Make your LinkedIn carousel as a PDFFree · no sign-up · no AI
Try the toolLinkedIn recommends images 1080 pixels wide, and accepts anything from 3:1 (very wide) to 4:5 (portrait). A taller image, such as a 9:16 story or a 3:4 Instagram post, is cropped in the center to fit 4:5.
A LinkedIn carousel is a document
LinkedIn has no image carousel like Instagram: several images show as a grid you can’t swipe. The carousel people scroll through is a document, posted with “Add a document”. Each page becomes a slide.
- A PDF is best: LinkedIn also accepts PPT, PPTX, DOC and DOCX.
- Every page in the same format, ideally 4:5: it’s the largest on a phone.
- A short document title: it shows above the carousel.
- 6 to 12 pages: enough for a complete idea, short enough to be read to the end.
To make the PDF: make a LinkedIn carousel.
Several images in one post
A post can hold up to 20 images. LinkedIn arranges them in a grid that is never taller than 4:5: images in the bottom row may be cropped to fit. For a series meant to be read in order, a document stays easier to read.
For a video, see the video size guide: 4:5 portrait and square both work well in the feed.
Profile and company page
The profile photo shows as a circle: keep your face in the center. On the banner, the profile photo covers the bottom-left corner on a computer, and the edges are cut on a phone: put your text in the center, slightly to the right.
Check your visual
Pick an image or a video: you’ll see what the app hides or crops. Nothing is uploaded, it all happens in your browser.
