HOW IT WORKS

Create a LinkedIn Carousel in 3 Steps

From topic to published carousel in under 5 minutes.

1

Enter your topic or content

Enter a topic, blog URL, or YouTube link. The AI automatically formats it into a LinkedIn carousel. Alternatively, use a template and customize it.

2

Customize your carousel

Customize your name, photo, and LinkedIn handle quickly. Templates are pre-sized at 1080×1350 for LinkedIn documents.

3

Download as PDF and post

Export as a clean PDF, the exact format LinkedIn requires. Upload as a document post and publish. You can also schedule it.

WHY CAROUSELS

LinkedIn Carousels Outperform Every Other Post Format

Every swipe counts as engagement. More engagement means more reach. LinkedIn pushes carousel posts further than text, images, or video posts.

ALGORITHM

Every Swipe Signals Engagement

LinkedIn’s algorithm measures time spent on content. Each swipe registers as a strong signal, which pushes your carousel to more people. Text posts cannot compete with this.

BRAND

Build Recognition With Every Post

A consistent carousel style teaches LinkedIn’s audience to recognize you before they even read the text. It is the fastest format for building a personal brand on the platform.

RESULTS

Users See Real Numbers

Our users regularly hit 50,000+ views and hundreds of saves from a single carousel upload. The format works when done right, and the templates are built to do it right.

LINKEDIN CAROUSEL DIMENSIONS

What Size Should a LinkedIn Carousel Be?

LinkedIn carousels are uploaded as PDFs. Each page becomes one slide. All Contentdrips templates are pre-sized correctly so you never have to think about this.

RECOMMENDED

Portrait: 1080 x 1350px

The 4:5 portrait format takes up more screen space in the LinkedIn feed. More visible area means more chance of stopping the scroll. This is the recommended format for most carousels.

Slides
5 to 15 (sweet spot)
Format
PDF (one page per slide)
File size
Under 100MB
Max slides
300 pages

ALSO WORKS

Square: 1080 x 1080px

The 1:1 square format is a clean, versatile choice. Slightly less feed presence than portrait, but works well for data-heavy slides, step-by-step guides, and infographic-style carousels.

CAROUSEL ANATOMY

What Makes a LinkedIn Carousel Actually Perform

The format is powerful, but only if you structure it correctly. These are the rules that separate high-reach carousels from ones that get ignored.

Do this

Slide 1 is your entire pitch

Your first slide is the only one people see before deciding to swipe. Use a bold statement, a surprising number, or a question they need the answer to. You have one shot to earn the swipe.

Avoid this

Do not bury the hook in slide 3

Opening with context, background, or ‘today I want to share’ kills your reach. Nobody swipes past a weak first slide. Lead with your best point, not your warmup.

Do this

One idea per slide, maximum

LinkedIn carousels are not essays. Each slide should communicate one clear point. 40 to 50 words maximum per slide. If you can say it in less, do.

Avoid this

Do not cram every slide with text

Small fonts on a 6-inch screen are invisible. Dense slides lose readers before they finish the carousel. White space and one clear idea per slide always win.

Do this

Add your face and name to every slide

Include your photo and LinkedIn handle on each slide. People start recognizing your style before they even read the text. That is how you build a following on LinkedIn.

Do this

End with a clear call to action

Your last slide should tell people exactly what to do: follow you, comment with their thoughts, or visit a link. Do not leave them with nowhere to go after finishing.

Frequently Asked Questions

A LinkedIn carousel is a document post made up of multiple slides users can swipe through. It is LinkedIn’s highest-performing content format, generating more swipes, saves, and reach than text or image posts.
