# LinkedIn Carousel Generator Give it a topic or paste a post you already wrote. You get 5 to 10 slides at 1080x1350 with a document title, ready to edit and download as the PDF LinkedIn takes for a document post. LinkedIn's feed now shows slides 1 and 2 side by side before anyone swipes. The generator writes those two as a pair, a hook and its payoff, and shows you both in a feed preview before you post. ## What you get - 5 to 10 slides from one topic, or from a post you already wrote (up to 3,000 characters) - Slide 1 written as the hook and slide 2 as its payoff, the pair LinkedIn's feed shows side by side - A document title and a feed caption - Inline editing on desktop, a per-slide editor on phones - Add, remove and reorder slides, with a warning if the hook and payoff pair breaks - Three templates (Headline, Notebook, Split) and five colours - Your name, headline and photo in every slide's footer - A feed preview in a phone frame and a desktop frame - PDF download at 1080x1350 per page, the 4:5 portrait LinkedIn takes for a document post, plus any single slide as a PNG - No watermark, no signup, 5 free generations a day; editing and downloads never use one ## The sample carousel the page opens on Title: "What I screen for now when I hire", credited to Maya Lindqvist, Founder, Northwind Labs (a fictional founder, used as an illustration). 1. **Cover (hook).** *Hiring, three years in.* The 4 hires I got wrong all had the best CVs in the pile. 2. **Payoff.** *What I look for now.* How fast someone gets better beats where they start. Five things I now do in every hiring loop. Swipe -> 3. **Point 01.** Ask what they taught themselves last The last thing they figured out alone, and how. A vague answer is an answer. 4. **Point 02.** Pay for a real work trial Two paid days on a real problem tell me more than five interview rounds. Both sides get to walk away. 5. **Point 03.** Ask for the reference they didn't list With their permission, I ask for a former peer. Peers remember how someone handled a bad week. 6. **Point 04.** Write the 90-day scorecard first If I can't say what good looks like by day 90, I'm not ready to hire. The job post comes after. 7. **Point 05.** Push back once, on purpose I disagree with one answer in the room. People who get curious outlast people who get defensive. 8. **Close.** *Hiring this quarter?.* Save this for your next loop. And tell me the one question you always ask. I'm collecting them. ## Slides only work when the post behind them is good. Oiti is the AI clone for LinkedIn content.

A topic gets you a fresh deck. A post gets turned into slides that keep its argument, its order and every figure exactly as you wrote it. 2. **Edit the slides and pick a look.** On a laptop, click any text on a slide and type. On a phone, use the fields under the slide. Add, remove and reorder slides anywhere from 5 to 10, pick one of three templates and five colours, and put your name, headline and photo in the footer. 3. **Download the PDF and post it.** Check the feed preview first, since it shows slides 1 and 2 the way LinkedIn will. Then download the PDF, start a post on LinkedIn, add it as a document and give it the title you set here. Any single slide can also be saved as a PNG. ## Why slide 2 matters now For years the cover did all the work. The feed showed one page of a carousel, and that page had to earn the swipe by itself. As of September 2026, the feed shows the first two pages of a document post side by side, so a reader sees slide 1 and slide 2 together before deciding whether to swipe at all. That turns the opening into a pair. Slide 1 is the hook: one claim or one tension, big enough to read at half the width of a phone screen. Slide 2 is the payoff. It answers the hook, or sharpens it, and tells the reader what the rest of the deck will give them. When slide 2 is just the first item of a list, the reader sees a question with nothing next to it, and the pair reads as unfinished. So the generator always writes those two slides as a pair. If you drag the payoff out of position 2 afterwards, you get a warning, and the checklist under the feed preview keeps flagging it until you move it back. Nothing is blocked, because it is your deck. You just know what the feed is going to show. We have not seen LinkedIn announce this change, and it could change again. If it does, the pair still holds up: a cover that makes one clear claim is a good cover in a one-page feed too. ## LinkedIn carousel size: 1080x1350 and the PDF format A LinkedIn carousel is a document post. You upload a PDF, LinkedIn turns each page into a slide, and readers swipe through it in the feed. There is no separate carousel format to export to, which is why this tool hands you a PDF rather than a folder of images. Every page here is 1080 by 1350 pixels, a 4:5 portrait. Portrait fills more of a phone screen than a square does, and in a feed that now puts two slides next to each other, the taller shape gives each one more room for type. Square decks still work. They just get less of the screen. Keep the type big. On most phones a slide shown at half the screen width ends up under 200 pixels across, so a heading that looks bold on your monitor turns into small print in the feed. The templates here start headings at a size that holds up at that scale, and the warning on a slide tells you when you have written more than fits. The slides go into the PDF as images, so the file looks exactly like the preview on any device. The trade is that the text in the PDF cannot be selected. For a post nobody edits after you publish it, that is the right way round. ## What makes a carousel worth saving The carousels people save tend to get five things right. None of them is hard, and it is easy to miss one. - **The pair on top.** Slide 1 makes one claim a stranger would stop for. Slide 2 pays it off in a sentence and promises the rest. Everything after them only gets seen if those two work, so they deserve most of your editing time. - **One idea per slide.** A slide gets read in a few seconds. A heading that states the idea and a line or two that makes it usable is about as much as fits in that time. If a slide needs a paragraph, it is two slides. - **Readable at phone width.** Most people meet your slides on a phone, and in the feed at half of that, so headings have to be big and lines short. The generator keeps every field under a length limit for this reason, and if you type past the edge of a slide, its thumbnail gets a warning before you download. - **Specifics you actually have.** Real numbers and names make a deck worth keeping, and they only help if they are true. The generator is told never to invent them, and every figure it writes is checked against your text. Paste a post and it copies every figure exactly as you wrote it, currency signs and all. Start from a topic and it leaves room for you to add your own. - **A last slide that is not a pitch.** End on the takeaway or a real question. "Follow for more" is the line people have learned to scroll past. A question the reader can answer in a comment gives them a reason to stay. ## How to post a carousel on LinkedIn The upload takes under a minute, and one of the steps gets skipped a lot. 1. Start a post from your LinkedIn feed and write the text that will sit above the slides. 2. Open the options for adding media to the post and choose a document. 3. Upload the PDF you downloaded here. 4. Give the document a title. LinkedIn prints it under the slides, so use the document title you set in the generator rather than the filename. 5. Publish, then look at the post on your phone. That is where most of your readers will see it. If you already have a PDF from somewhere else, the steps are the same: LinkedIn turns any PDF into a swipeable document. What this tool adds is the 4:5 page size and the pair on top. Some people post a carousel as a set of images instead. That gives you a grid to tap into rather than pages to swipe, with no document title, so for a deck meant to be read in order the PDF is the better format. Want a picture of the whole post in the feed, text and all, for a proposal or a case study? The [LinkedIn post mockup generator](https://www.ghostwriting-ai.com/tools/linkedin-post-mockup-generator) makes one from your draft. ## Carousel generator or a design tool? Use this when you need the words and a clean layout fast. You get a written deck in about a minute, three templates, five colours, your name and photo on every slide, and a PDF with no watermark. It is free, and editing and downloading never count against the daily limit. It will not add stock photos or generate images. There is no brand kit, you cannot bring your own fonts, and it does not schedule posts. If your carousel needs charts, screenshots, product shots or your company's exact typefaces, a design tool such as Canva is the better choice. A good way to use both: draft the slides here, then rebuild the two or three that need visuals. The three templates use typefaces that load with this page, and the download waits for them before it builds the file. If they have not arrived, it stops and tells you, rather than handing you slides set in whatever font your device falls back to. And if the part you are stuck on is the post behind the carousel, no template will fix that. Get the idea right first, then make the slides. ## Frequently asked questions ### What is a LinkedIn carousel? A post with pages people swipe through. On LinkedIn it is a document post: you upload a PDF and each page becomes a slide in the feed. People use carousels for step-by-step advice, frameworks and short stories told one beat per slide. ### What size should a LinkedIn carousel be? 1080 by 1350 pixels, a 4:5 portrait, is what this tool exports and the shape that takes up the most room in a phone feed. Square 1080 by 1080 decks also work. Whatever you pick, keep every page the same size so the deck does not jump as people swipe. ### How many slides should a carousel have? Enough to make the point and no more. The generator writes 5 to 10, and you can add or remove slides within that range. Seven slides that each say something beat twelve with filler in the middle. ### Why does the second slide matter so much? As of September 2026, LinkedIn's feed shows slides 1 and 2 side by side. Readers see both before they decide to swipe, so the generator writes slide 2 as the payoff to slide 1's hook, and the feed preview shows you the pair before you post. ### Can I turn a post I already wrote into a carousel? Yes. Use the Paste your post tab. It takes up to 3,000 characters, the longest post LinkedIn allows. The slides follow your post's argument in the order you made it and copy your figures exactly, and the generator is told to add nothing the post does not say. ### How do I turn a PDF into a LinkedIn carousel? Upload it as a document when you create a post, and LinkedIn turns each page into a slide. Give the document a title, since LinkedIn shows it under the slides. A PDF that is not 4:5 still works; it just takes up less of the screen. ### Can I post a carousel of photos instead? You can post several images at once, but LinkedIn lays them out as a grid rather than pages to swipe, and there is no document title. For a deck that reads in order, upload a PDF. If you only want one slide as an image, this tool saves any slide as a PNG. ### Is it free, and what is the daily limit? It is free, with no signup. You get 5 generations a day on a rolling 24 hours. Editing, reordering, changing the design and downloading never use one, so you can keep working on a deck after you hit the limit. ### Is there a watermark? No. Nothing is added to your slides, in the PDF or in a PNG. Your name and photo in the footer are the only branding, and you control both. ## More free LinkedIn tools - [LinkedIn Post Generator](https://www.ghostwriting-ai.com/tools/linkedin-post-generator) A full post from a paragraph about what happened.
