How to make a LinkedIn carousel

4:5 portrait fills the most screen on a phone. - Style and check
Keep text large enough to read on a phone and inside the safe margins. - Export
Download one PDF and upload it as a document post.
The carousel size that works
LinkedIn shows a document post as a swipeable carousel in the feed. Its own guidance for images is 1,080 px wide with an aspect ratio between 3:1 and 4:5, so a 1080 x 1350 portrait slide takes the most screen on a phone while staying inside the range.
LinkedIn image sizes in 2026
JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC or GIF, up to 10 MB, up to 20 images per post. LinkedIn's own guidance for a photo post is 1,080 px wide with an aspect ratio between 3:1 and 4:5.
| Use | Size (px) | Ratio |
|---|---|---|
| Feed post (landscape) | 1200 x 627 | 1.91:1 |
| Profile cover / banner | 1584 x 396 | 4:1 |
What the tool is doing
It reads the pixel size of your file in the browser, draws it on a canvas, crops it to the shape you pick and re-encodes it at the exact export size. There is no upload request, and metadata such as EXIF location is not carried over.
Image shape and attention in the feed
Most LinkedIn browsing happens on phones, where a taller image takes more of the screen. A portrait 4:5 image is the tallest shape most feeds show without cropping, so it holds attention longer than a wide landscape one. The format gets the post noticed; the reactions it earns in the first hours decide how far it goes.
