Carousel Generator

What are LinkedIn carousels?

LinkedIn carousels are multi-slide posts that users swipe through. They consistently outperform text-only posts in terms of reach and engagement because they encourage users to spend more time on your content (increasing dwell time, which the algorithm rewards).

Carousels are great for step-by-step guides, lists, tips, frameworks, and storytelling.

The visual canvas workspace

LinkedGrow's Carousel Generator provides a full visual editor for creating professional carousels:

Slide manager

The left panel shows all your slides as thumbnails. From here you can:

• Add new slides
• Remove slides
• Reorder slides by dragging
• Click a slide to select it for editing

Canvas workspace

The center of the screen is your main editing area. Here you work with individual elements on each slide:

• Text elements - Add headings, body text, and callouts. Set font, size, color, weight, and alignment.
• Shape elements - Add rectangles, circles, lines, and dividers for visual structure.
• Image elements - Upload images or use AI-generated images to enhance your slides.

Element toolbar

When you select an element on the canvas, the properties panel appears with controls for:

• Position and size
• Colors (text color, background, borders)
• Font family and size
• Opacity and layering (bring to front, send to back)

Canvas controls

• Undo/Redo - Reverse or repeat any action
• Zoom in/out - Get a closer look at details or see the full slide
• Toggle panels - Hide the left or right panels for maximum canvas space

Downloading your carousel

When your carousel is ready, click Download as PDF. LinkedIn carousels are uploaded as PDF documents, so this gives you a file ready to attach to a new LinkedIn post.

You can also save your carousel design within LinkedGrow to edit or reuse later.

Tips for effective carousels

• Start with a cover slide that creates curiosity and makes people want to swipe
• Keep text minimal - each slide should convey one clear idea
• Use consistent branding - same colors, fonts, and logo across all slides
• End with a CTA - tell readers what to do next (follow, comment, visit your site)
• Aim for 7-10 slides - enough depth to provide value, short enough to maintain attention
• Use large, readable fonts - many LinkedIn users browse on mobile
