# 12 Best LinkedIn Carousel Makers in 2026 (Free and AI) Canonical page: https://depost.ai/blog/linkedin-carousel-maker Twelve LinkedIn carousel makers and generators, compared on the three jobs a carousel needs: writing the slides, designing them in your brand, and posting the PDF. By [Atta](https://depost.ai/authors/atta), Depost AI. Published 2026-10-16, updated 2026-10-16. **Short answer:** The best LinkedIn carousel maker in 2026 is Depost AI. It writes the carousel in your voice, slide by slide, with a caption, from what it has learned about your posts. Its free carousel generator designs those slides as a PDF in one of five styles with your photo or logo and no watermark, and needs no account. Depost AI then publishes the PDF as a document post through LinkedIn's official API once you approve it. Of the other eleven, Taplio, Scripe, Contentdrips, and PostNitro write and design the slides from an idea, Supergrow and ContentIn have free editors where you type each slide, and Canva has more than 1,285 LinkedIn carousel templates you fill in by hand. LinkedIn accepts a carousel PDF of up to 100 MB and 300 pages, with every page the same size. Making a LinkedIn carousel is three jobs: writing the slides, designing them, and posting the PDF. The design is the slow part, and it is why carousels get put off. A carousel maker is supposed to fix that, but each one does a different share of the work, and the job it skips is the one you do by hand. This list covers twelve LinkedIn carousel makers and generators, and says which of the three jobs each one does, what is free, and what it costs. It starts with ours. If you only want to make one carousel today, the [free carousel generator](https://depost.ai/tools/linkedin-carousel-generator) does it in your browser with no account. ## The three jobs a carousel maker should do **Write the slides.** A carousel is a sequence: a cover that earns the first swipe, one idea on each slide after it, and a last slide that asks for something. Some makers write that from an idea, a post, or a link. Others give you empty boxes to type into. **Design them.** The slides should look like you: your colors, your type, your photo or logo. Check two things here. Does the tool use your brand or its templates? And does the free version put its own name on your slides? **Post the PDF.** On LinkedIn, a carousel is a document post: a PDF where each page becomes a slide. LinkedIn Help says a document can be up to 100 MB and 300 pages, and every page has to be the same size. Some makers schedule the post for you. Others hand you the file.
Three jobs, one carousel. One: write the slides. Ask whether the tool writes the slides from an idea, a post, or a link, or only lays out what you type. Good looks like a cover that earns the swipe, one idea per slide, and a last slide that asks for something. Two: design them. Ask whether it uses your colors, fonts, and photo, and whether the free version adds its own logo. Good looks like text large enough to read on a phone, where a slide is about 360 pixels wide. Three: post the PDF. Ask whether it exports one PDF and can schedule the post. LinkedIn's rule: up to 100 MB and 300 pages, every page the same size, with multiple layers flattened
LinkedIn publishes no pixel size for carousel pages. Square and 4:5 portrait are the common shapes.

Prices are the monthly-billed price unless the table says otherwise. "Not stated" means the tool's own pages did not say; "Not shown" means the price did not appear on the page when we read it, and "Not read" means the pricing page would not load for us. We did not score the other tools' output, so entries 2 to 12 are in no strict order. ## Which LinkedIn carousel maker to pick - **Written in your voice and posted with the rest of your week:** Depost AI. It writes the slides from what you have already published, and posts the PDF after you approve it. - **Free, with no account and no watermark:** Depost AI's [carousel generator](https://depost.ai/tools/linkedin-carousel-generator). - **Writing and design in one place:** Depost AI writes the slides and its carousel generator designs them. Taplio, Scripe, Contentdrips, and PostNitro also do both; PostNitro has the lowest published price, $15 a month. - **Agencies with several clients:** Depost AI, with each client in its own workspace and the client's approval before the carousel posts. - **Designing every slide by hand:** Canva, with more than 1,285 LinkedIn carousel templates. ## 1. Depost AI **Best for:** creators, B2B teams, and agencies who want the carousel written in their own voice and posted with the rest of their week. This is ours, so weigh it accordingly. Depost AI is an AI content team for LinkedIn: four agents that plan, write, design, and schedule your posts, with your approval on each one. For carousels, it does all three jobs: it writes the slides in your voice, designs them in its carousel generator, and posts the PDF. ### It writes the carousel in your voice Ask for a carousel in the chat, or pick one from your weekly plan. Depost AI returns the slides one by one, each with the job that slide does and an idea for its picture, plus the caption for the post and a note for whoever designs it. It writes from your [brand memory](https://depost.ai/features/brand-memory): your positioning, your voice, and every post you have published with its numbers. So the carousel sounds like your posts, not like a template. ### It designs the slides Depost AI's [carousel generator](https://depost.ai/tools/linkedin-carousel-generator) designs the slides and builds the PDF in your browser. You pick one of five styles, add your photo or logo to every slide, and download a square PDF with type sized for a phone. There is no watermark and no account, and your photo never leaves your device. If you do not have the words yet, the free [carousel content generator](https://depost.ai/tools/linkedin-carousel-content-generator) writes eight slides from rough notes. Before you post, the [carousel tester](https://depost.ai/tools/linkedin-carousel-tester) shows the PDF inside a post at phone width and checks it against LinkedIn's limits. ### It posts the PDF for you Attach the PDF to the post in Depost AI. The post and its carousel go to your approval queue together, and once you approve, the PDF publishes as a document post through LinkedIn's official API at the time you set. For single-image posts, Depost AI also designs [infographics](https://depost.ai/features/infographics) in your colors and type. **Price:** Solo is $59 a month for one LinkedIn account. Team is $99 a month for the first account and $59 for each one after that. Both have a 7-day free trial. The free tools need no plan at all. ## 2. Taplio **Best for:** turning a post that already did well into a carousel. Taplio's carousel page says its AI writes the slides from a one-line idea, a blog post, or a YouTube video, designs them, and gives you a carousel ready to schedule. It can split one of your posts into slides and write a cover hook for it. You set your colors, fonts, and logo once in a brand kit, then export a PDF or schedule the post from Taplio. Taplio's plans start at $39 a month, and the Carousel Generator is listed in its plan comparison. There is a 7-day free trial. An older free carousel page at taplio.com/carousel still offers an editor, and the example slide on it reads "Made with taplio.com/carousel". ## 3. Scripe **Best for:** teams that want carousels in one brand kit across several profiles. Scripe's home page says its agents turn any post into a carousel, an infographic, or a quote card in your brand kit, with one brand kit for every profile. It also says the agents find carousels that did unusually well in your market and rebuild the one you pick in your brand. Scripe's pricing page shows yearly billing: Solo is €55 a month billed yearly. Every plan has a 7-day free trial, and Scripe says a credit card is required. ## 4. Supergrow **Best for:** typing a carousel slide by slide in a free editor. Supergrow's free carousel generator is a slide-by-slide editor. You type the text for each slide, change the fonts and colors to match your brand, preview it, and export a PDF or a set of PNG images. Supergrow says its free tools need no sign-up. In the paid app, the carousel maker is part of the Pro plan, which is $39 a month billed monthly. Every plan has a 7-day free trial. ## 5. MagicPost **Best for:** agencies who already use MagicPost for writing and scheduling. MagicPost lists carousel creation as a feature of its paid app. It is included on the Creator plan, $69 a month billed monthly, and not on the Growth plan at $49. Its pricing page does not describe how the carousels are made. MagicPost has a free trial with every feature, and no credit card. ## 6. ContentIn **Best for:** a free editor with your name and photo on every slide. ContentIn's free carousel generator starts from a theme or a blank canvas. You click to edit the text on each slide, set your colors in the Theme panel, and add your name, handle, and photo in the Brand panel. It exports a PDF at 1080 by 1080 or 1080 by 1350 pixels. In the paid app, ContentIn lists unlimited AI carousels on its Pro plan. The app has a 7-day free trial. ## 7. Contentdrips **Best for:** turning a blog post or a video into a carousel with templates. Contentdrips is a design tool for social posts. Its site lists an AI carousel maker and post writer, more than 100 templates, and brand kits with your fonts, colors, and logos. It can turn a topic, a blog post, or a YouTube or TikTok video into a carousel, and publish to LinkedIn and Instagram. Its pricing page offers a free trial with 50 credits over 7 days, and its home page says a free plan is available. The plan prices did not appear on the page when we read it. ## 8. PostNitro **Best for:** a low-cost AI carousel maker that also schedules. PostNitro writes and designs a carousel from a topic, an article link, text you already wrote, or a post from X. You choose how many slides. It has more than 100 templates built for a 4:5 feed, a brand kit that redraws them in your colors, and scheduling to LinkedIn and other networks. PostNitro says it is free to start with no credit card, and its editor can be opened with no sign-up. The Starter plan is $15 a month billed monthly, with watermark-free exports and up to 8 AI slides per carousel. ## 9. aiCarousels **Best for:** a free carousel editor with color palettes picked for you. aiCarousels calls itself a free carousel maker. Its home page lists color palettes and font pairings chosen to go together, templates you can change to match your brand, and a PDF download for LinkedIn. More tools, such as a post generator and an infographic generator, are on its PRO plan. We did not find a price on its site. ## 10. Canva **Best for:** designing every slide by hand. Canva is a general design app, not a LinkedIn tool. Its LinkedIn carousel template page listed more than 1,285 templates when we read it. You pick one, change the text and pictures on each page, and download the design as a PDF to upload to LinkedIn. Canva has a Free plan. Canva does not write the slides. If you want the words first, write them with the free [carousel content generator](https://depost.ai/tools/linkedin-carousel-content-generator) and paste them in. ## 11. Gamma **Best for:** people who already make presentations with AI. Gamma is an AI tool for presentations, documents, and websites, and it can make a deck from a prompt. Its Free plan creates up to 10 slides per prompt and exports to PDF, PPTX, and PNG. The Plus plan removes Gamma's branding, so a carousel made on the Free plan carries it. Custom branding is on the Pro plan. Gamma is built for presentations, so check the page size before you export. A landscape slide is shown small on a phone. ## 12. Piktochart **Best for:** teams that already make infographics in Piktochart. Piktochart has an AI LinkedIn carousel generator. Its page says you type an idea, it makes several carousels to choose from, and you change the colors, fonts, and images. It has Free, Pro, and Enterprise plans; its pricing page would not load for us, so we have no prices. ## Free LinkedIn carousel makers without a watermark "Free" and "no watermark" do not always go together. What each tool's own pages say: - **Depost AI's [carousel generator](https://depost.ai/tools/linkedin-carousel-generator):** free, no account, no watermark. - **Gamma:** the Free plan carries Gamma's branding. The Plus plan removes it. - **PostNitro:** watermark-free exports are listed on the Starter plan, $15 a month. - **Taplio:** the example slide on its free carousel page reads "Made with taplio.com/carousel". - **Supergrow, ContentIn, and aiCarousels:** their free carousel pages do not say either way. ## How to make a LinkedIn carousel in Canva 1. Search Canva for a LinkedIn carousel template, or start a blank design at 1080 by 1080 or 1080 by 1350 pixels. 2. Write the slides before you design them: one idea per slide, and a cover that says what the reader gets. 3. Keep every page the same size. LinkedIn requires it. 4. Download the design as a PDF. 5. Drop the PDF into the [carousel tester](https://depost.ai/tools/linkedin-carousel-tester) to check the size, the page count, and the smallest text. 6. On LinkedIn, start a post, add a document, and upload the PDF. The guide on [making a LinkedIn carousel post](https://depost.ai/blog/linkedin-carousel-with-ai) covers the structure, the caption, and the limits in more detail. ## What to check before you post any carousel - **The text on a phone.** A slide is about 360 pixels wide on a phone. Text that looks fine in an editor can be too small in the feed. - **One page size.** LinkedIn requires every page in the PDF to be the same size, so do not mix square and portrait slides. - **The file's hidden details.** A PDF carries the author name and the app that made it. The [PDF metadata remover](https://depost.ai/tools/pdf-metadata-remover) takes them out. - **The first slide.** It decides whether anyone swipes. Write three versions of it and keep the clearest. ## FAQ ### What is the best LinkedIn carousel maker? Depost AI.
