How to Post a Carousel on LinkedIn (Step by Step)

LinkedIn carousels are really just PDF "document posts" that LinkedIn renders as swipeable slides. Here's how to publish one.

1. Design your slides

Use a 4:5 or 1:1 aspect ratio so your content reads well on both desktop and mobile. Keep one idea per slide.

2. Export as a single PDF

Export your design as one multi-page PDF, not individual images — LinkedIn needs the PDF format to render the swipeable carousel view.

3. Upload it as a document

Start a new post, click the document icon, and upload your PDF. Add a title and your caption, then publish.

4. Write a hook in the first slide and the caption

Most people decide whether to swipe based on your first slide and the first two lines of your caption — make both count.
