LinkedIn Carousel Template (Free)

LinkedIn document carousels are swiped horizontally in the feed and often downloaded, which changes the optimal structure. Slides can carry more text than Instagram, and the final slide is the one most likely to be seen in a screenshot someone shares.

The right structure: hook and promise on slide 1, one idea per slide in the middle, a summary table or key takeaway on the final slide.

Slide 1 - Bold hook and the one thing they will walk away knowing. Slides 2 to 8 - One idea per slide, written as a short statement plus one supporting sentence. Slide 9 - Summary: the whole argument in four bullet points. Slide 10 - CTA: follow for more, save for reference, or comment with your version.

The template is the scaffold; the ideas are yours. Drafting the slide copy in your voice rather than a generic educational tone is what makes it feel like a document from a specific expert rather than a generic slide deck.
