LinkedIn carousel templates
LinkedIn carousel templates for document posts
LinkedIn carousels are PDFs uploaded as document posts. These templates are built for that: business-toned layouts for frameworks, checklists, lessons and reports, exported as a single PDF that LinkedIn turns into swipeable slides.

LinkedIn carousel specs and what makes one work
| Post type | PDF document post |
| Slide size | 1080 × 1350 px (4:5) — every template |
| Max file size | 100 MB |
| Max pages | 300 (aim for 5–12) |
| Export | Single PDF, or PNG per slide |
| Links in slides | Not clickable — put the CTA in the caption |
Before you export
- Lead with the outcome on slide 1 (“5 hiring mistakes that cost us a quarter”), not the topic.
- One idea per slide. LinkedIn readers skim on mobile; a slide should be readable in under three seconds.
- Add a subtle “swipe” cue on the first slide — many people still do not know document posts are swipeable.
- Use the caption for the call to action and the link; links inside the PDF are not clickable.
LinkedIn carousel template FAQ
How do I turn a template into a LinkedIn carousel?
Open the template, edit the slides, then export as PDF. On LinkedIn, start a post, choose “Add a document”, upload the PDF and give it a title. LinkedIn renders each page as a slide.
What size should a LinkedIn carousel be?
1080×1350 (4:5) portrait is the format that takes up the most feed space and is what every template here uses. 1080×1080 square also works; landscape gets squeezed on mobile.
Can I add clickable links to the slides?
No — LinkedIn strips interactivity from document posts. Put the link and the call to action in the post caption instead.
Are these LinkedIn carousel templates free?
Yes. Edit and export as PDF or PNG without an account. Exports carry no watermark.
How many slides work best on LinkedIn?
Five to twelve. Document posts under five slides feel thin; over twelve, completion rates fall off. Our engagement benchmarks post has the data by format.
