LinkedIn carousel generator
Carousels are the highest-reach format on LinkedIn for a mechanical reason: every swipe is dwell time, and dwell time is what the algorithm ranks on.
The problem is that making one usually means writing the copy, then fighting a design tool for an hour. Kryx does both in about a minute.
How the carousel generator works
- Give it a topic — 'the 5 pricing mistakes that cost us $40k'
- Kryx writes the full deck: cover hook, one idea per slide, a quotable payoff near the end, a soft close
- Pick a template — Paper, Ink, Azure or Sand
- Export every slide as a ready-to-upload PNG, plus the post caption that goes with it
What makes a carousel actually get read
A slide is read in about two seconds on a phone, so the text budget per slide is brutally small: a title of six words or fewer, and a body under about 22 words.
The deck also has to be a sequence rather than a list — each slide should follow from the one before, so the reader keeps swiping. Kryx writes to both constraints automatically.
Carousel or plain text?
Use a carousel when the idea has genuine steps or parts — a process, a set of mistakes, a before/after. Use plain text when it's one sharp observation or a story.
A carousel built around a thin idea performs worse than a good text post, because readers abandon it on slide two and that abandonment is a ranking signal.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best LinkedIn carousel generator?
Kryx for LinkedIn writes the deck in your own voice and exports upload-ready slides with a template picker, which is what most carousel tools miss — they design well but write in a generic voice. It costs $29/month with a 3-day free trial.
How many slides should a LinkedIn carousel have?
Between five and ten. Fewer than five rarely justifies the format; more than ten and completion rates fall off sharply. Seven is a reliable default.
Do LinkedIn carousels get more reach than text posts?
Often yes, because every swipe adds dwell time and dwell time is the signal LinkedIn ranks on. This only holds when the deck is genuinely worth swiping through — an abandoned carousel signals the opposite.
How do I upload a carousel to LinkedIn?
Export the slides as images and post them as a multi-image post in order, or combine them into a PDF and use LinkedIn's document post. Kryx exports numbered PNGs so the order is preserved.
