Longer carousels got more reactions
The usual advice is to stop at ten slides. Our data points the other way. Across 3,500+ carousels in our July 2026 study of B2B creators, typical reactions rose with every step up in length.
It compares different posts rather than each person against themselves, so treat it as a strong hint, not a rule. Write as many slides as your points need, and cut any that are padding.

LinkedIn carousel specs
Updated October 2026
A LinkedIn carousel is not its own post type. It is a document post. You upload a PDF and LinkedIn shows it as a swipeable viewer in the feed. That one fact explains every other spec on this page.
| File format | PDF. LinkedIn also accepts DOCX and PPTX, but PDF is the only one that looks the same everywhere. |
|---|---|
| Square size | 1080 × 1080 px (1:1). The safest choice; it looks the same on every screen. |
| Portrait size | 1080 × 1350 px (4:5). Takes more feed height; can be cropped in some places. |
| Slide count | As many as your points need. In our data, longer decks got more reactions. |
| Max pages | 300 pages, though nobody should get close. |
| Max file size | 100 MB. A 12-slide deck from this tool lands well under 10 MB. |
| Document title | Shown on the carousel in the feed. Write it as a second hook, not a filename. |
| Text safety | Keep text about 60 px clear of every edge. The mobile viewer crops tighter than desktop. |
What makes a good LinkedIn carousel
The first slide is the whole job
In the feed, slide one is competing with everything else on the screen, not with slide two. A hook that names a specific reader and a specific payoff (“5 content systems solo founders actually stick to”) beats a category label (“Content tips”) every time. If you only edit one slide in this tool, edit that one.
One idea per slide
A slide is read in about two seconds. That is one claim and one sentence of support, not a paragraph. If a slide needs a second idea, it needs to be two slides.
Emphasis gives the eye somewhere to land
Highlighting the two or three words that carry the argument helps people take in a slide mid-swipe. Most free tools skip this, which is why their output reads flat. Select any phrase on a slide above and hit Highlight.
The CTA should ask, not sell
The last slide earns comments when it asks a question the reader already has an answer to. “Which one are you starting this week?” gives people an easy reason to reply. “Book a call” gives them a reason to scroll on.
Questions
- Is this LinkedIn carousel generator really free?
- Yes. You can edit the deck, change the design and download the PDF with no account and no card. AI drafts are limited to 3 from a topic and 2 from a blog post per day. If you want more, or want carousels written from your own material, Flypost has a 7-day free trial.
- What size should a LinkedIn carousel be?
- LinkedIn carousels are document posts, uploaded as a PDF. Square 1080×1080 px pages are the safest choice because they look the same on desktop and mobile. Portrait 1080×1350 takes more of the feed but can be cropped in some places. This tool exports square 1080×1080 pages.
- How many slides should a LinkedIn carousel have?
- More than most advice says. In our July 2026 data on 3,500+ carousels, the typical carousel with 16 or more slides got 57 reactions, against 27 for one with 2 to 5 slides. It compares different posts, so treat it as a strong hint: use as many slides as your points need, and cut any slide that doesn't earn its place. The free editor holds up to 12.
- Does the exported PDF have a watermark?
- Only on the last slide, and you can see it in the preview before you download, so there's no surprise. Every other slide is clean. Open the deck in Flypost and it comes over without the watermark.
- Can I use my own brand colours and fonts?
- Yes. Pick a palette or set your own colours, and choose from eight font pairs. Flypost goes further: it reads your website and applies your colours, fonts and logo to every carousel automatically.
- Which templates are included?
- Five square templates: Bold, Editorial, Ghost, Marker and Band. They're the same square templates Flypost uses, so a deck you open in Flypost keeps its look. Flypost adds five portrait photo templates and two widescreen ones, with AI images on every slide.
- How do I upload a carousel to LinkedIn?
- Start a post, choose the document option, upload your PDF, then give the document a title. The title shows on the carousel in the feed, so treat it as a second hook rather than a filename.
