LinkedIn carousels are uploaded as PDF documents with each page displayed as a swipeable slide. The recommended slide size is 1080×1080px (1:1 square) or 1080×1350px (4:5 portrait). The maximum file size is 100MB with up to 300 pages, though most practical carousels are much shorter.
- •Upload as PDF — each page becomes a swipeable slide. Design at 1080×1080px (square) or 1080×1350px (portrait).
- •Keep the slide count manageable — the first slide is your hook, and the last slide should close with a clear takeaway or CTA.
- •Use high-resolution source files — LinkedIn compresses PDFs during processing.
What you need to know
Unlike Instagram carousels (which upload individual images), LinkedIn carousels are PDF uploads. Each page of the PDF becomes a swipeable slide in the feed. This means you design your carousel in any tool that exports PDFs — Canva, Figma, PowerPoint, or Moda — and upload the final PDF to LinkedIn. Each slide should be a single page at your target dimensions.
LinkedIn carousels support up to 300 pages, but most real-world posts are much shorter. The first slide is critical because it appears in the feed preview and sets expectations for the rest of the document.
Square slides (1080×1080) are the most common format and display well on both mobile and desktop. Portrait slides (1080×1350, 4:5) take up more feed space on mobile but may get slightly cropped on desktop. For PDF carousels, LinkedIn compresses images during processing, so use high-resolution source files and avoid thin text that might become blurry after compression.
