Three steps to a finished carousel

No design skills needed. No templates to fill in. The AI handles structure, writing, and layout — you review and export.

01

Type your topic

Enter a topic, paste a blog post URL, or drop in research notes. The AI uses it as source material for your carousel content.

02

AI generates all slides

The model writes a hook, a story arc with curiosity gaps between slides, and a soft CTA — then assigns the right layout and font size to each slide type automatically.

03

Tweak and export

Edit any slide inline, swap a background theme, adjust colors — then export a print-ready PDF or PNG set. Upload directly to LinkedIn.

Built for carousel creators

Every feature exists to solve a specific problem with the old ChatGPT-then-Canva workflow.

AI-generated slide content

Claude or GPT-4 writes all slides — not generic bullet points, but punchy 3–7-word headlines and 2–3-line body copy that fits the slide dimensions without overflowing.

Auto layout assignment

The AI knows that slide 1 needs a big hook layout, stat slides need a number-forward design, and the last slide needs a CTA layout. It assigns these automatically.

📄

PDF & PNG export

Server-rendered via Puppeteer — pixel-perfect at every slide size. Download a single PDF to upload to LinkedIn, or individual PNGs per slide.

📷

LinkedIn 1:1 and Instagram 4:5

Switch between LinkedIn square format and Instagram portrait format with one click. All layouts, font sizes, and export dimensions adjust automatically.

🌟

Background themes

7 panoramic background themes — forest, ocean, cityscape, workspace, mountains, and more. Auto-crops to show a different region per slide for visual variety.

Inline slide editor

Click any text to edit it directly on the canvas. Drag text blocks to reposition. No Canva, no copy-paste, no switching between tools.

📋

Paste URL or blog post

Drop in a URL or paste your article text as context. The AI generates carousel slides that are grounded in your actual content — not generic takes on the topic.

🌎

Multi-language support

Generate carousels in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, and more. The AI writes natively in your target language — no machine translation layer.

Common questions

What is the best free LinkedIn carousel maker?
Carouselli is purpose-built for LinkedIn carousel creation and offers a free plan with 3 exports per month — no credit card required. Unlike general tools like Canva or ChatGPT, it generates the content AND designs the slides in one step. See our full comparison of LinkedIn carousel makers.
How do I make a LinkedIn carousel?
LinkedIn carousels are PDFs uploaded as document posts. To make one: write your slides (hook + story + CTA structure), design them at 1080x1080px, export as PDF, and upload to LinkedIn when creating a post. With Carouselli, the AI handles the writing and design — you just upload the exported PDF.
What size should a LinkedIn carousel be?
The recommended size is 1080x1080px (1:1 square) for LinkedIn carousels. Portrait 1080x1350px (4:5) also works well and takes up more feed real estate on mobile. Carouselli supports both formats and exports at the correct pixel dimensions. See our full LinkedIn carousel size guide.
How many slides should a LinkedIn carousel have?
6–10 slides is the sweet spot for LinkedIn. Slide 1 is the hook (make it impossible to scroll past), slides 2–N-1 build the story, and the last slide is a soft conversational CTA. Under 5 feels too short; over 12 risks losing readers before the CTA.
Is Carouselli better than Canva for LinkedIn carousels?
For LinkedIn carousel creators who post regularly, yes. Canva starts with a blank template — you still need to write all the content yourself. Carouselli starts with your topic and generates the complete carousel, including content, layouts, and export. Read our full Carouselli vs Canva comparison.
Can I use my own images and brand colors?
Yes. You can upload custom background images per slide, choose from 7 panoramic background themes, set custom color palettes, and adjust font styles. Brand kit support is available on all paid plans.

Frequently asked questions

What is a LinkedIn carousel? +

A LinkedIn carousel is a multi-slide document post uploaded as a PDF. Readers swipe through slides directly in the feed. Carousels consistently outperform single-image posts for reach and saves because LinkedIn's algorithm rewards dwell time.

How do I make a LinkedIn carousel with AI? +

With Carouselli: type your topic, review the AI-generated outline, then let the AI write all slide content. Edit anything you want, then export as PDF. Upload that PDF to LinkedIn as a document post and you're done.

What size should a LinkedIn carousel be? +

The best size for LinkedIn carousels is 1:1 square (1080×1080px). This gives the most feed real estate on both desktop and mobile. Carouselli defaults to this format automatically. Landscape (16:9) also works but takes up less vertical space in the feed.

How many slides should a LinkedIn carousel have? +

Most high-performing LinkedIn carousels have 6–12 slides. Fewer than 5 slides don't give readers enough reason to swipe. More than 15 can feel exhausting. A strong hook on slide 1 and a clear CTA on the last slide are more important than the total count.

Can I add my logo and brand colors? +

Yes. Carouselli has a brand kit where you can upload your logo, set your name and handle, and choose a color palette. Every carousel you generate will use your brand automatically.

Is there a free LinkedIn carousel maker? +

Yes — Carouselli's free plan lets you create and export 3 carousels per month at no cost, no credit card required. Free carousels include a subtle watermark. Paid plans starting at $9/month remove the watermark and increase your export limit.
