This free LinkedIn carousel generator lets you design 4:5 carousels in your browser, choose from 13 templates, and export as a PDF document post, individual PNG slides, or a ZIP of all slides. Works for Instagram carousels too — same 4:5 ratio, no resizing required.

Your first slide decides if anyone sees the rest. Make it a bold claim, a counterintuitive number, or a question your audience can't ignore. Don't introduce yourself — get to the point.
If a slide takes longer than 3 seconds to read, split it. Carousels work because they're skimmable. Dense slides kill the swipe momentum that drives your reach.
The last slide is your most underused asset. Ask a question, invite comments, or tell people to save it. LinkedIn rewards posts that generate conversation — give them a reason to engage.
Pick a template where your headline and body text have clear contrast. Viewers swipe fast — if your text blends into the background on a small mobile screen, you've already lost them.
Carousels get saved and reshared. When someone screenshots a slide outside of LinkedIn, they won't know it's yours unless your username is on it. Use the branding field — it takes 10 seconds.
The sweet spot for LinkedIn carousels is 6–10 slides. Shorter feels rushed. Longer risks losing people before the CTA. If your topic needs 15 slides, it's probably two carousels.
