LinkedIn carousel maker: edit slides and export a PDF

Turn an article or explanation into a branded PDF you can review and upload to LinkedIn yourself.

From your source to slides

A LinkedIn document post lets readers move through a PDF in the feed. Start with an article, notes, or a text-based report and draft one supported explanation. In CarouselDraft, accept the AI outline before checking linked passages and editing the slides. Export a PDF and upload it yourself.

You upload the finished file yourself. CarouselDraft does not connect to LinkedIn or publish posts. Check LinkedIn’s current document requirements before uploading.

1

Choose one useful question

Add your article, notes, or text-based report. Focus the carousel on one explanation the source can support.

2

Build a readable sequence

Introduce the topic on the cover, develop one idea per slide, and finish with a recap or relevant next step.

3

Download and review the PDF

Download the PDF and read every page. On LinkedIn, start a post, choose Add a document, select the PDF, and add a descriptive document title and post text before publishing.

Prepare an explanation that stands on its own

Use a clear cover question, a short context slide, supporting steps or findings, and a closing recap. For a written-update guide, explain the decision, reason, owner, and next action. Keep private client details out of both the slides and the post text.

Questions about this workflow

How do I post a PDF carousel on LinkedIn?

Download your finished PDF, start a LinkedIn post, and choose Add a document. Select the PDF, add a clear document title, write the post text, and review before publishing. The official LinkedIn guide linked below covers the current upload steps.

Can I edit a LinkedIn document after posting it?

LinkedIn’s help guide says you can edit the post description or remove the post, but cannot replace or edit its uploaded document. Keep the CarouselDraft project, make corrections there, and review the new PDF before creating a new post.
