How do I post a PDF as a swipeable carousel on LinkedIn?

Start a new post on LinkedIn, click the '+' or 'Add a document' (page icon) button at the bottom of the post window, select the PDF file you downloaded from this tool, enter a clear descriptive Document Title (which appears above the carousel), write your post caption, and click Post.

Why do PDF document carousels get such strong reach on LinkedIn?

Every swipe to the next slide counts as an active interaction and keeps the reader on your post for 30 to 90 seconds (high dwell time). Furthermore, readers can download your PDF for future reference, signaling high educational value to LinkedIn's feed algorithm.

What is the best slide count and aspect ratio for a LinkedIn carousel?

6 to 10 slides at a 4:5 portrait ratio (1080 × 1350 pixels) is the sweet spot: Slide 1 is your bold cover hook, Slides 2–8 deliver one clear point per slide, and the final slide provides a concise summary and call-to-action.

What are LinkedIn's technical limits for document uploads?

LinkedIn allows PDF documents up to 100 MB and up to 300 pages, though carousels constructed with this tool are typically lightweight (under 5 MB) and 5–12 pages long for rapid mobile loading.

Are my slide designs or uploaded images sent to a server?

No. Each slide is rendered on your local HTML5 Canvas and compiled into a PDF inside your browser memory.
