You want a LinkedIn post made of equal slides. Lay the story out in a square or a tall 4:5 frame, and download a ZIP of matching slices. Carousel mode builds from 2 to 16 slides, and every slice in the ZIP is the same size. The aspects you can use are 1:1, which exports at 1080 pixels, 4:5, which exports at 1080 by 1350, and 16:9, which exports at 1920 by 1080. For this kind of post, choose 1:1 or 4:5. The square is easy to swipe. The 4:5 frame gives each slide more vertical room for a heading and a short point. A 16:9 frame is there when you truly want a wide slide. Export JPG or PNG. The carousel is made locally, in the browser, so you can read the sequence before you download the ZIP. Write the slides as a path a person can swipe. Slide one should make sense alone, because it is the cover. Each later slide should add one idea, and the last slide can hold the takeaway. Keep the type large enough to read on a phone, and keep the edges consistent so the swipe feels like one document. Then pick 1:1 or 4:5, export, and open the ZIP. You should see equal images, in order, ready to upload as one swipeable set. If a slide feels crowded, shorten the words and export again. The ZIP is the set of slices, and the order you built is the order they should stay in.

Equal slides for a swipeable post

A square or a tall 4:5 frame

For this kind of carousel, start with 1:1 or 4:5. The square exports at 1080 by 1080, a balanced slide that stays familiar as people swipe. The 4:5 frame exports at 1080 by 1350, which gives a heading and a few lines more room without becoming a poster. Both are practical document-style frames from this tool. Use 16:9, at 1920 by 1080, when the slide is genuinely wide and a landscape frame is the point. Pick one aspect and keep it for every slide, because the ZIP is a set of equal slices. A mixed set of shapes would break the swipe. Decide the frame before you pour the words in, so the layout has a box to respect.

From 2 to 16 equal slices

A carousel here is at least two slides and at most sixteen. Two can be a simple before and after. Eight or ten can be a short lesson. Sixteen is a full walk-through. Each slice in the ZIP matches the others, so a reader meets the same frame every time they swipe. Plan the sequence on paper if the story is long: cover, points, close. Put one idea on a slide. That restraint helps, because the person is on a phone and the type has to carry. When the count feels right, export JPG or PNG. Open the archive and count the files so the set you upload is the set you designed.

A local ZIP you can check in order

The carousel is built in the browser. Download the ZIP and look at the slices in order before you upload them. The first image is the cover people see, so it should name the topic. The last image should feel like an ending. If a middle slide repeats a headline, fix it and export again. JPG is a light choice for photo-heavy slides. PNG is a clean choice for type and flat color. Either way the slices are equal, at the pixel size of the aspect you picked: 1080 for the square, 1080 by 1350 for 4:5, or 1920 by 1080 for 16:9. Upload that ordered set as your swipeable post.

  1. 1

    Choose 1:1 or 4:5

    Use the square, 1080 by 1080, or the tall frame, 1080 by 1350. Keep that one aspect for every slide. 16:9 is there if you need a wide frame instead.

  2. 2

    Lay out 2 to 16 slides

    Write a cover, then one idea per slide, and end on a clear close. Carousel mode accepts from 2 to 16 slides. Read them in order in the browser before you export.

  3. 3

    Download the ZIP of equal slices

    Export JPG or PNG. The ZIP holds equal slices. Open it, confirm the order and the count, and upload that set. The build stays local.

Use cases

A short lesson

Eight or so square slides, one point each, become a swipeable document. The ZIP gives you equal 1080 pixel slices to upload in order.

A taller story

Use 4:5, 1080 by 1350, when each slide needs a heading and a few lines. The extra height keeps the type comfortable on a phone.

A simple pair

Two slides are enough for a before and after or a problem and a fix. Export the ZIP and check that both slices match in size.

Problems we solve

The cover is vague

The first slice is what people see before they swipe. Name the topic on that slide, then export again. The rest of the ZIP should follow that promise.

The type is cramped

Move to 4:5 for more height, or cut the words. A document-style slide should stay readable. Rebuild and download a fresh ZIP of equal slices.

Trust & technology

Made in the browser

The carousel is local. You arrange from 2 to 16 slides, pick the aspect, and download a ZIP of equal JPG or PNG slices.

Sizes you can name

1:1 exports at 1080, 4:5 at 1080 by 1350, and 16:9 at 1920 by 1080. Square and 4:5 are the practical frames for this kind of post.
