To add a carousel follow these steps:

1. Go to [Planner](https://app.metricool.com/planner/calendar?).
2. Tap on 'Create a new post' or choose the time directly from the calendar
3. Within the scheduler choose the LinkedIn option
4. Attach the file

You have two options to add a carousel:

➡️ With a file

Click on the document icon 📃 and upload your PDF, PPT, PPTX, DOC or DOCX file (maximum 300 pages).  
Add the title and you have your carousel, we take care of transforming it into this format.

➡️ With image:

Upload up to 20 images in JPG/PNG (100 MB) and activate the Image Carousel tab in LinkedIn Settings: your Carousel is automatically ready.

5. Add the text to the publication and check in the preview.
6. Set the date and time and click on 'Schedule'.

⚠️ All images must have the same orientation (horizontal or vertical).

### Dimensions

The recommended sizes on the LinkedIn carousel is 1080 x 1080, square format, and a maximum size of 10 MB.

💡 _We recommend 1080 x 1350, as it is more elongated and is more optimal for sharing content._
