The Algorithm Loves Carousels
8 Best Practices for LinkedIn Carousels
Follow these proven strategies to create carousels that drive engagement and grow your audience
1. Hook on Slide 1
Your first slide determines everything. Use a bold statement, surprising statistic, or provocative question to stop the scroll.
2. Bold Colors Stand Out
Plain white carousels get lost in the feed. Use strong colors or dark backgrounds to make your carousel pop.
3. Add Your Face
Personal branding matters. Include your profile picture and name on every carousel to build recognition over time.
4. Use Numbers
"5 Tips" outperforms "Some Tips". Numbers set expectations and add credibility to your content.
5. Keep It Concise
Each slide should have one clear point. Use bullet points, avoid walls of text, and make it easy to digest.
6. Address Pain Points
Start with problems your audience faces. They'll keep swiping to find the solution.
7. End with a CTA
Your last slide should tell readers what to do next: follow, comment, share, or visit a link.
8. Test & Iterate
Even top creators have posts that flop. Experiment with formats, topics, and styles to find what resonates.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about creating LinkedIn carousels
What is a LinkedIn carousel?
A LinkedIn carousel is a multi-slide post format that allows you to share multiple images or pages that users can swipe through. It's created by uploading a PDF document, where each page becomes a slide. Carousels are highly engaging because they encourage interaction and keep users on your post longer.
What size should LinkedIn carousels be?
LinkedIn carousels work best at 1080x1350 pixels (4:5 aspect ratio) or 1080x1080 pixels (square). We recommend the 4:5 ratio as it takes up more screen real estate and gives you more space for content. Our generator uses this optimal size by default.
How many slides should a LinkedIn carousel have?
The optimal number is between 5-12 slides. This gives enough content to provide value without overwhelming readers. Start with a hook slide, deliver your main points, and end with a call-to-action. Studies show 8-10 slides often perform best.
Is this carousel generator free?
Yes! Our LinkedIn carousel generator is completely free to use. You can create unlimited carousels, use all templates, and download your carousels as PDF files without any watermarks.
What file format do I download?
Carousels are downloaded as PDF files, which is the format LinkedIn requires for carousel posts. Simply upload the PDF when creating your LinkedIn post, and LinkedIn will automatically convert each page into a swipeable slide.
How do I post a carousel on LinkedIn?
1) Create your carousel using our generator and download the PDF. 2) Go to LinkedIn and start a new post. 3) Click the document icon (📄) to upload your PDF. 4) Add your post caption and publish. LinkedIn will automatically create the carousel from your PDF.
Why do carousels get more engagement?
Carousels get 3.2x more engagement than regular posts because: 1) They encourage interaction through swiping. 2) They keep users on your post longer, which LinkedIn's algorithm rewards. 3) They allow you to tell a complete story across multiple slides. 4) The swipe action creates a micro-commitment that increases engagement.
Can I customize the carousel design?
Absolutely! You can choose from 8+ pre-designed templates, customize colors, add your profile picture and handle, edit text on each slide, and add or remove slides as needed. The editor gives you full control over your carousel's look.
Do I need to create an account?
No account is required! You can start creating carousels immediately. However, creating a free Postking account gives you access to additional features like saving your carousels and scheduling posts.
