Recommended size
Square 1080 x 1080 remains the simplest format. 1080 x 1350 gives more text space but requires tighter layout discipline.

LinkedIn Carousel PDF Export: Format, Size, and Best Practices
LinkedIn reads carousels as PDF documents. Carouzel prepares a clean, readable, multi-page file ready to publish.
What you get
- Multi-page PDF format for LinkedIn upload.
- Square or vertical slides depending on your publishing style.
- PNG export available when you need each slide separately.
Readability
A strong LinkedIn PDF keeps text short, margins generous, and hierarchy clear on every slide.
Reuse
Keep the PDF for LinkedIn and export PNG as well when you want to reuse slides in newsletters or Instagram.
Vector quality and crisp fonts
Carouzel's PDF export preserves crisp typography and clean vector elements. Your slides stay sharp regardless of display resolution or zoom level on mobile and desktop.
Multi-page format optimized for reach
LinkedIn's algorithm favors dwell time on PDF carousels. A structured multi-page document with smooth visual rhythm encourages readers to swipe through to the final slide.
FAQ
Does LinkedIn accept PDFs for carousels?
Yes. A LinkedIn carousel is published as a multi-page PDF document.
PDF or PNG for LinkedIn?
Use PDF to publish a native LinkedIn carousel. Use PNG to reuse individual slides elsewhere.
How many slides should I use?
6 to 10 slides works well for a short educational post.
What is the maximum file size allowed by LinkedIn?
LinkedIn accepts PDF files up to 100 MB and 300 pages, though optimized carousels usually stay under 5 MB for instant loading.
Are hyperlinks inside the PDF clickable on LinkedIn?
No. LinkedIn disables embedded links inside document attachments. Place your links in the post text or first comment instead.
