How the LinkedIn carousel maker works
A LinkedIn "carousel" is a PDF shared as a document post. LinkedIn shows the pages one at a time, and readers swipe or click through them. LinkedIn's help page lists the limits for documents: up to 100MB and 300 pages, as PDF, PPT, PPTX, DOC or DOCX.
This LinkedIn carousel maker uses a 1080 x 1350 portrait size (4:5). It's the tallest shape LinkedIn uses for images in the feed, so your slides take up more of the screen on a phone than square ones.

What makes a good LinkedIn carousel
- A cover that makes one promise. "5 follow-up rules that get replies" beats "Some thoughts on follow-ups".
- One idea per slide. A short title and one or two lines. If you need a paragraph, it's two slides.
- Big text. People read on phones. The maker uses large type on purpose.
- A last slide with a next step: follow, comment, or save the post.
- A short post on top. The text above the carousel still needs a hook. Write it with the AI LinkedIn post generator.
How to use the tool
- Pick a brand color and a style, and type your name or handle for the footer.
- Edit the sample slides: a title and optional text for each. Reorder with Up and Down, add slides up to 10.
- Click Download PDF. Your browser's print dialog opens.
- Set the destination to Save as PDF and turn on Background graphics so colors print. Leave margins at none or default.
- On LinkedIn, start a post, choose Add a document, upload the PDF and give it a title.
The PDF is made by your browser's print engine, so the result can differ slightly between Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox. Chrome and Edge give the most exact page size. If colors come out white, turn on Background graphics in the print dialog.

FAQ
+How do I post a carousel on LinkedIn?
Save your slides as a PDF, then start a post on LinkedIn, choose Add a document, upload the file and give it a title. LinkedIn shows each page as a swipeable slide. Documents can be up to 100MB and 300 pages, but most good carousels are 5 to 10 slides.
+What size should a LinkedIn carousel be?
Use 1080 x 1350 pixels, a 4:5 portrait shape, for the most screen space on mobile. Square 1080 x 1080 also works. Keep every slide the same size so the carousel doesn't jump between pages. This maker exports 1080 x 1350 pages automatically.
+Is this LinkedIn carousel maker free?
Yes, completely free with no account and no watermark. The slides are built in your browser and saved through your browser's print dialog as a PDF, so nothing is uploaded to us. You can make as many carousels as you like, up to 10 slides each.
