How to Post a Carousel on LinkedIn: A Step-By-Step Guide

This guide shows exactly how to post a PDF carousel on LinkedIn — works on both desktop and mobile.

What Are LinkedIn Carousels?

LinkedIn carousels mean sharing more than one image in a single post. You can tell a story or share lots of information by making each image a "page" of your story. It’s a fun and simple way to share more with your friends and colleagues on LinkedIn.


How to Post a Carousel on LinkedIn?

Sharing a carousel on LinkedIn is easy if you follow these steps. Here is a simple guide to help you:

  • Create a PDF
    Export your carousel as a multi-page PDF. Each page becomes one slide.

  • Open LinkedIn
    Go to linkedin.com and log into your account.

  • Start a New Post
    On desktop: click the “Start a post” box at the top of your feed.
    On mobile: tap the “+” post icon at the bottom of the screen.

  • Press the “+” Button (Important)
    LinkedIn only turns PDF documents into carousels — not regular images. The option to upload a PDF document is hidden by default, so click the “+” icon to reveal more post types.

  • Click “Add a document”
    After clicking “+”, select the document icon (it looks like a sheet of paper). That’s how you upload your PDF and turn it into a carousel.

  • Upload Your PDF
    Pick your PDF file from your device. LinkedIn will show a preview of your slides.

  • Add a Title for Your Document
    Before continuing, LinkedIn will ask for a title. This shows up at the top when someone views your post.
    Keep it clear and short (e.g. 5 Tips to Improve Your LinkedIn Profile).

  • Add a Caption
    Write a short caption to explain your post.

  • Post It
    Click “Post” and you're done.

And that's it! Your followers will now see a scrollable carousel in their feed.
