LinkedIn Carousel Size
LinkedIn carousels are uploaded as PDF document posts and render each page as a swipeable slide. Each slide displays at approximately 1080 × 1080 px (1:1 square). Slides can also be 1080 × 1350 px (4:5 portrait) for taller content — but all pages in the PDF must use the same dimensions.

Design Tips
- →Design in Figma or any layout tool at exactly 1080 × 1080 px per slide, then export as a multi-page PDF at 72–150 DPI (screen resolution is fine for digital-only).
- →First slide acts as a cover and thumbnail — make it visually strong with a clear headline to encourage the viewer to swipe.
- →LinkedIn carousel slides are viewed quickly — limit text to 30–50 words per slide and use large type (24 pt minimum at 1080 × 1080 px).
- →Number slides ('3/10') in a corner to signal length and encourage completion — completion rate affects reach in the LinkedIn algorithm.
