Wondering how to easily create a LinkedIn carousel? Here’s your answer
Find out what tool to use to create compelling posts for your LinkedIn page
Simple text posts won’t cut it anymore.
You need a compelling visual to attract your followers.
A video, image, or carousel.
Although LinkedIn doesn’t support standard carousels anymore, you probably still see them every single day. It’s a set of images with tips or ideas, designed to draw your attention and keep swiping right.
Whether you create your carousel manually, from a template, or with an AI tool, one step remains the same: you’ll need to upload it as a PDF document. That’s the only way for LinkedIn to recognize it correctly and display it as a carousel.
So what’s the magic solution for a quick carousel ride?
The answer is…
Many useful tools will help you create decent carousels. I’ve tested a few and the winner can only be one: Contentdrips. It’s my go-to tool for all things carousels. It features templates for Instagram, LinkedIn, Infographics, memes, tweets, and quotes. Plus, all these posts can be enhanced with a reasonable dose of AI.
You can create your carousel starting with a template or with a post. In the first case, you have to select a template and provide your text, or images. You can also tweak the fonts, colors, or other items.
However, to bring this process up to speed, you can start from the post. This is where you write your caption, select a template, and then wait for the tool to complement it with an AI-generated carousel.
But there’s another, faster, and more magical way to do it: use the AI Carousel Maker available within Contentdrips. This tool will ask for your article link (e.g. from your blog) and then extract the main takeaways to convert them into unique slides. In the AI Carousel Maker, you can also start with an existing post. All you need to do is paste your text, select the tone, and let AI take care of the rest.
You can also create your carousel by writing a topic. After two seconds, your carousel will take you on an unforgettable ride. Based on your topic, the tool will generate eight images: the title slide, five slides with a headline and short text, followed by a final slide with a summary and call-to-action.
But don’t stop there. Although everything looks impressive, adding your personal touch will make a big difference. Take a moment to tweak the text to better reflect your voice. Adjust the colors, incorporate images, and experiment with different backgrounds or fonts to adapt the carousel to your unique style.

The AI Carousel Maker is available only with a subscription, but in the free version, you can still use templates and download up to three carousels per month. When you get hooked on the tool or if you want to test the power of AI Assistant, there’s a decent subscription plan starting at 14 USD/month.
With Contentdrips, creating carousels is quick, easy, and enjoyable. Once you craft your first set of slides, you’ll probably keep coming back for more 😊
Enjoy your ride!
