How to Make a Carousel Post for Instagram, LinkedIn and Facebook

On Instagram, a carousel is a normal feed post with more than one image or video selected. Choose one shape for the whole set before you upload, since every slide sits in the same frame, and write one caption that introduces all the slides.

On LinkedIn, the common way to get swipeable slides is a document post: export the slides as one flat PDF with every page the same size, upload it as a document and give it a title. LinkedIn shows the pages one after another in the feed.

On Facebook, select several images for one post. Keep them the same shape so the set looks consistent, and do not mix images with a video in the same post when you schedule it from the Infinall calendar.

1. Save your brand once, then pin it to a Studio project so the slides use your logo, colours and voice.
2. Open Image settings, pick one aspect ratio such as 1:1 or 4:5, and describe the slides. One send makes up to 4 images, and every image from that send comes out in the same shape.
3. Fix any slide by describing the change or by dropping comment pins on it. Edits show their price before you confirm. Resize with Crop or Fit and Grade are free.
4. Select the slides in order. Click Download ZIP to save them as one file, or Make LinkedIn PDF to build a PDF of square pages. For each page you choose Fit, which shows the whole image on white, or Fill, which crops it to the square, and you can move pages up or down.
5. Click Add to calendar to make a post draft, write the caption, pick the platforms and schedule it.

Making new images uses credits. Downloading, making a ZIP, making a LinkedIn PDF and scheduling in the calendar never use credits. Only images can go in a LinkedIn PDF; videos and audio cannot.

• Mixed shapes. A portrait slide next to a square slide gets cropped or padded. Set one size before you design.
• Too much text per slide. If a slide needs a paragraph, split it into two slides.
• A weak cover. The first slide decides whether anyone swipes, so state the promise there, not on slide two.
• Wrong order after upload. Number your files and check the order on the upload screen.
• A layered or mixed-size PDF on LinkedIn. Flatten the PDF and fit every page to one size before uploading.
• No final check. Swipe through the published post on a phone to catch cropped text.

The Free plan gives 1,000 credits every month with no card, which covers making slide images, and every export described here is free on both plans. The difference is publishing: to have a scheduled post go out by itself, the platform needs a connected account, and connecting an account is Pro. Without one you still plan and schedule the post in the calendar and get a reminder at the time, then post the downloaded slides yourself. Pro costs $10 for the first month, then $30 a month or $299 a year (India: Rs 999 first month, then Rs 2,899 a month or Rs 33,999 a year), with 3,000 credits a month.

If you already design slides in another editor and only need to post them, you do not need to make images in Infinall at all: upload your files to a calendar post instead. Each uploaded file can be up to 25 MB.
