Create a carousel in InstaCarousel, or reuse one you already made for Instagram. Adjust the tone slightly for a professional audience.
Download the carousel as a multi-page PDF. This is the format LinkedIn turns into a swipeable document carousel in the feed.
Start a new LinkedIn post, choose "Add a document", upload your PDF, add a caption, and publish. LinkedIn renders it as a carousel automatically.
Carousels are one of the highest-performing formats on both Instagram and LinkedIn — but each platform reaches a completely different audience. Your Instagram followers are one crowd; LinkedIn puts your ideas in front of decision-makers, peers, and potential clients. Posting the same carousel on both is the simplest way to double the return on content you already made.
The mechanics differ, though. Instagram wants images uploaded to a carousel post; LinkedIn wants a multi-page PDF attached as a document, which it then renders as a swipeable carousel. InstaCarousel handles both. Design once, export a PDF for LinkedIn and images for Instagram, and your content lands natively on each platform.
LinkedIn also happens to reward this format heavily. Its algorithm prioritizes dwell time, and swiping through a carousel keeps people on the post far longer than a plain text update — which is exactly the signal the feed looks for.
More engagement than a plain video post on LinkedIn.
More engagement than a text-only post — carousels are among LinkedIn's top formats.
LinkedIn ranks by dwell time; swiping a carousel maximizes it naturally.
One design, two audiences — a professional network plus your Instagram following.
Export: PNG images, uploaded to a carousel post
Format: 1080 x 1350px (4:5 portrait) for maximum screen coverage
Tone: Punchy, casual, hook-driven
Best CTA: "Save this" or "Follow for more"
Export: A multi-page PDF, attached via "Add a document"
Format: 1080 x 1080px (1:1 square) displays most reliably
Tone: Professional, insight-led, credible
Best CTA: "Repost if useful" or "Comment your take"
Shift the tone slightly more professional — LinkedIn audiences respond to insight and credibility over hype.
Rewrite the cover into a clear, benefit-led title. "The 5-step framework we used to cut churn 30%" beats a vague hook.
Swap the CTA. "Repost if this was useful" and "What would you add?" drive LinkedIn's comment and reshare signals.
Keep your branding subtle. A clean logo and handle read as credible, not promotional.
Export as a PDF, not images — LinkedIn only renders the swipeable carousel from a document attachment.
Use a 1:1 square ratio for the most consistent display across desktop and mobile.
Aim for 7-12 slides. LinkedIn rewards dwell time, so a few extra high-value slides help.
Write a strong caption above the PDF — the first two lines decide whether people expand and swipe.
LinkedIn does not have a native carousel button — it treats multi-page documents as swipeable carousels. Export your carousel as a PDF from InstaCarousel, then upload it to LinkedIn using the "Add a document" option on a new post.
When you attach a multi-page PDF to a LinkedIn post, LinkedIn renders it as a swipeable document carousel in the feed. It is the only way to get the carousel experience on LinkedIn, and it produces the crispest slides.
A square (1:1, 1080 x 1080px) or portrait (4:5) format both work well on LinkedIn. Square is the safest choice because it displays consistently across desktop and mobile. InstaCarousel lets you export in the ratio you need.
Yes, though a quick tweak helps. LinkedIn audiences respond to a slightly more professional tone and a business-oriented CTA. Adjust the cover hook and the final slide, then export the PDF.
Seven to twelve slides perform well. LinkedIn rewards dwell time, and a carousel that takes a moment to swipe through signals high-value content to the algorithm.
