How to create a LinkedIn carousel PDF

In Carousel AI, a LinkedIn carousel starts with a topic and ends with a sequence of slides you can edit and export as a PDF. You can download the file on the Free plan; direct publishing and scheduling are available on Creator and Pro.

Start with one useful promise

Choose one question your audience needs answered. A specific brief gives the generator a clearer structure than a broad topic such as marketing. Tell it who the reader is, what they should learn and which examples to use.

Example brief

Create a carousel for freelance designers explaining how to prepare a project handoff. Include a checklist, a realistic example and a final reminder to agree on the delivery format.

Choose the visual approach

AI Design builds graphic slide layouts. Photo Carousel pairs text with stock photos. Choose a format and style in the creator, then enter your subject. The same topic can work in either mode; choose based on whether the content needs visual examples or a clear sequence of ideas.

Edit the sequence before exporting

Use the preview to navigate all slides. Check that the opening states a useful outcome, each middle slide adds one idea, and the closing gives a relevant next step. Edit text, replace unsuitable images and check contrast. Verify names, dates and numbers against your own sources; generation is not fact checking.

Export and check the actual PDF

Choose PDF in the export controls. Open the downloaded file and check every page, especially long headings and small captions. The PDF is the deliverable your audience sees. Free exports include a watermark on the final slide; paid plans remove it.

Publish now or schedule

You can upload the exported PDF manually to LinkedIn. On Creator or Pro, connect your LinkedIn account to use the app’s publishing and scheduling controls. Review the caption and destination before posting, and confirm the published result on LinkedIn.
