LinkedIn PDF carousels (also called “document posts”) let you tell stories and share insights in a swipe-friendly carousel.
Great for breaking down ideas, guiding your audience through a process, or showcasing work in a format that's engaging for viewers.
How to post a PDF carousel
1. Prepare your PDF
We recommended: 5–15 slides, 1080×1080 or 1080×1350 px, exported as PDF.
Keep text large, visuals clear, and branding consistent.
Limits: Max file size 100 MB and up to 300 pages.
2. Create a new LinkedIn post in Typefully
Click the "▼" next to New draft to select LinkedIn. If LinkedIn is your default platform, you can simply click on New draft.
3. Upload or drag & drop your PDF
Click the PDF icon in the editor → Upload your PDF file.
Move the cursor over the preview to see LinkedIn's black overlays and ensure the spacing looks good.
4. Schedule or publish
You can now publish your draft, and your carousel will be included in the post.
Pro tips for high-performing carousels
Start with a bold first slide — it’s your hook.
Use each slide for one clear idea.
End with a call-to-action (e.g., “Comment your thoughts” or “Follow for more tips”).
Make sure your text or visuals aren't hidden behind the black overlays.
