LinkedIn Carousel to Instagram Carousel

Why repost LinkedIn carousels on Instagram?

Because you already did the hard part. A carousel that worked on LinkedIn (a framework, a checklist, a teardown) usually works on Instagram too; the audience overlaps less than you'd think, so it isn't even a rerun for most followers. Repurposing one asset across both platforms is the cheapest content win available, and the only real barrier is the format mismatch: LinkedIn wants a PDF, Instagram wants images. That's the whole job this tool does.

One thing to check before posting: LinkedIn carousels are often designed at different proportions than Instagram's 4:5. The tool fits each page into the frame, but if your design has text hugging the edges, give the slides a quick look before publishing.

What size should Instagram carousel slides be?

Portrait 1080 x 1350 (4:5) is the right answer for almost everyone: it takes up the most screen space in the feed. Square 1080 x 1080 still works and suits designs that were built square. The tool offers both; when in doubt, portrait. Instagram carousels support up to 20 slides, so even a long LinkedIn document fits in one post.

Will slides designed for LinkedIn read well on Instagram?

Mostly, with one caveat: text size. A lot of LinkedIn document views happen on desktop, where small labels are perfectly legible. Instagram is nearly all phones. Dense body text converts fine and then reads badly at feed size. Check the exported JPEGs at phone width before posting; if you have to pinch-zoom to read a slide, so does everyone else.

The cover slide deserves a second look too. On LinkedIn, the post text above the document does part of the selling, so covers can afford to be quiet. On Instagram the first slide is the whole pitch. If your cover leans on context that lived in the LinkedIn post, swap it for one that states the payoff outright.
