FAQ

Frequently asked questions about carousel posts

What is a carousel post?

A carousel post is a multi-slide social media post where users swipe through a series of images or slides. They're available on LinkedIn (as PDF document uploads or multi-image posts) and Instagram (as multi-image posts). Carousel posts consistently get higher engagement than single-image posts.

How do I create a carousel post for LinkedIn?

You can create a LinkedIn carousel by uploading a PDF document or posting multiple images. Design your slides at 1080x1080px (square) or 1080x1350px (portrait) for best results. Tools like Insta Posts, Canva, or PowerPoint can help you design professional slides quickly.

What's the best carousel post size for Instagram?

Instagram carousels support up to 20 slides. The recommended dimensions are 1080x1080px (square) or 1080x1350px (portrait). Portrait slides take up more screen real estate in the feed, which can boost engagement.

Do carousel posts get more engagement?

Yes. Studies consistently show that carousel posts outperform single-image posts on both LinkedIn and Instagram. LinkedIn carousels get 1.6–2.2x more engagement on average. Instagram carousels have higher save and share rates than other formats.
