A LinkedIn carousel generator with illustrated slides

Why it works

  • PDF export in one click

    Download your carousel as a multi-page PDF — exactly what LinkedIn's 'Add a document' upload expects.

  • Stand out from text-only posts

    Warm, human illustrations stop the scroll in a feed full of walls of text and stock photos.

  • Turn expertise into frameworks

    Paste a lesson, process or opinion and ToonSlides structures it into a clear slide-by-slide story.

  • Brand-safe and consistent

    Pick an art style, palette and recurring character to make every post recognisably yours.

Carousel ideas to try

  • A framework you use with clients, step by step
  • Lessons learned from a project or failure
  • Industry jargon, explained in plain English
  • How we did X: a behind-the-scenes breakdown
  • Career advice you wish you'd heard earlier
  • A trend in your industry and what it means

Pro tips

  1. 1Give the document post a clear title — it shows on top of the carousel.
  2. 2Put the promise of the carousel on slide one and your name or handle on the last.
  3. 3Write your post copy as a short teaser that makes people open the document.
  4. 4Reply to early comments to keep the conversation (and reach) going.
How it works

From idea to illustrated carousel in three steps

No design skills, no prompt engineering. You bring the topic, ToonSlides handles the storytelling, illustration and sizing.

  1. 01Type a topic

    Anything you want to explain — a habit, a money concept, how your product works. Add an audience and tone if you like.

  2. 02Review the script

    Get a hook-first, slide-by-slide script with scene directions and a recurring character. Edit anything before it's drawn.

  3. 03Download & post

    Every slide is illustrated with powerful image generation in a consistent style, sized for your platform, with a caption and hashtags.

    Why do we procrastinate? — slide 1: Why do we procrastinate?. Spoiler: it's not because you're lazy.
    Why do we procrastinate? — slide 3: Quick rewards win (for now). Your phone offers instant fun. The task's payoff feels far away.
    Why do we procrastinate? — slide 5: Small steps build momentum. One tiny win makes the next one easier. Save this for later!

Frequently asked questions

How do I post a carousel on LinkedIn?

Start a post, choose 'Add a document', upload the PDF you downloaded from ToonSlides and give it a title. LinkedIn displays each page as a swipeable slide.

What size should LinkedIn carousel slides be?

1080 × 1350 px (4:5) fills the most space on mobile, while 1080 × 1080 px (1:1) is a safe all-rounder. ToonSlides exports both.

Can I add my name or handle to every slide?

Yes — on Pro and Studio plans, your @handle can be placed subtly on every slide.
