Carousel PDF

LinkedIn carousel generator that exports the PDF for you.

A LinkedIn carousel is a document post, not an image post: one PDF that readers swipe through. Purpeu turns a blog post, article, or pasted text into branded carousel slides and exports them as a single PDF at 1080x1350 or 1080x1080, ready to upload through Add a document. The text stays real text with the fonts embedded, so nothing shifts or gets substituted the way it can when LinkedIn converts a PPT or DOC on upload.

Most tools hand you images and leave the packaging to you. Combining slides into a PDF yourself is the step people get stuck on, because uploading them as separate images quietly makes an image post instead of a carousel.

No credit card for the trial. Every plan includes all six platforms.

You came for the LinkedIn carousel. The rest come with it.

Purpeu writes every platform you keep from the same source in a single run. Not one tool at a time, and not one generation each.

Source

One URL or pasted text

yoursite.com/blog/the-post-you-just-published

One generation

Instagram

Carousel slides, caption, hashtags, and a call to action.

LinkedInThis page

Two post variants, professional and founder voice. The carousel slides also export as a PDF for a document post.

X / Twitter

A hook, a five to eight post thread, and a standalone post.

Facebook

One conversational post written for the feed.

TikTok

A hook, a spoken script, on-screen text, and the caption.

Script, hook, and on-screen text to film yourself. Purpeu does not record video.

Newsletter

Three subject lines, an email-ready body, and a CTA.

Every platform is selected by default, and one generation covers all of them whether you keep one or all six. Instagram carousel slides are rendered and zipped in the same run at no extra cost. AI post images, voiceovers, and lead magnet PDFs have their own separate allowances.

01How it works

Three steps, start to finished.

  1. 01

    Paste a URL or your own text

    An article, a case study, a talk you wrote up. Purpeu opens the page and reads it, dropping navigation, ads, and cookie banners before anything is written.

  2. 02

    Pick the format and a template

    Choose 1080x1350 for portrait or 1080x1080 for square, the two ratios LinkedIn displays cleanly. Pick a built-in template or one of your own analyzed styles, and your brand kit fills in the colors, logo, handle, and CTA.

  3. 03

    Purpeu writes and draws the slides

    The slide count defaults to automatic, where the AI picks between 3 and 10 slides based on how much the source actually has to say. A layout engine draws them, so the copy is measured and fitted rather than left to overflow.

  4. 04

    Download the PDF and post it

    Start a post on LinkedIn, choose Add a document, upload the PDF, and give it a title. The title shows under the document as people swipe, so it is worth writing rather than leaving as the filename.

02What you get

One PDF, one document post, and the copy to go with it.

The export is built in the same run as the slides, by the same renderer, so what you download is what you previewed.

A single PDF, in slide order

One page per slide, every page the same size. A document with mixed page sizes displays inconsistently as people swipe, which is the most common way a hand-assembled carousel goes wrong.

Fonts embedded, not flattened

The slides are printed rather than photographed, so the type stays selectable and the fonts travel inside the file. This is the reason LinkedIn recommends PDF over the formats it converts on upload.

The PNG slides as well

The same slides come out as separate PNG files and a ZIP, so the carousel you post on LinkedIn is the one you post on Instagram. One run, both packagings.

The LinkedIn post that introduces it

Two post variants are written from the same source in the same run, one professional and one in a founder voice. A document post still needs an opening, and this is it.

Your brand on every page

Logo, primary and secondary colors, font style, social handle, and CTA text come from your brand kit and land in the same place on every slide.

03The honest comparison

Canva exports a PDF too. It does not write the slides.

The work in a LinkedIn carousel is not the export. It is deciding what goes on eight slides and then laying each one out by hand, every week.

  • Purpeu reads the source article itself, so the slides argue a specific point instead of restating a topic.

  • The copy is fitted before anything is drawn: wrapping, font-size fallback, and shortening, so a long line cannot overflow a slide.

  • Upload a carousel you already designed and Purpeu learns its look, so your existing style becomes a reusable template rather than something you rebuild.

  • Purpeu writes the content and can hold it on a content calendar, but it does not publish to any platform. You upload the PDF yourself.

04Who uses it

Built for people who publish every single week.

Purpeu earns its place when content is a recurring job rather than a one-off. These are the people who feel that most.

Marketing and SEO agencies

Run every client from one workspace, keep a separate brand kit per client, and send finished work out on an approval link before anything goes live.

Freelancers and consultants

Turn the article you just wrote into a week of posts without opening a design tool or a second AI chat.

SaaS founders

Your changelog, docs, and blog already say something worth reading. This gets that onto the feeds without hiring for it.

Social media managers

Stop rewriting the same idea six times. One source, six native versions, all saved and reopenable.

06What it costs

07Questions, answered

What people ask before they start.

How can I create a LinkedIn carousel?

Design slides at one size, export them as a single PDF, then start a post on LinkedIn, choose Add a document, upload the file, and give it a title. Purpeu does the first two steps from a URL: it writes the slides, draws them at 1080x1350 or 1080x1080, and gives you the PDF. The upload is yours.

What format should a LinkedIn carousel be?

PDF. LinkedIn also accepts PPT, PPTX, DOC and DOCX, but those are converted on upload and the conversion can move text or substitute fonts. A PDF is already fixed, so what you see is what posts. Keep every page the same size, stay under 100 MB, and up to 300 pages are allowed.

Is there a free AI carousel generator available?

Several, and they are worth trying if you need one carousel today. Purpeu is not one of them: every team starts on a 14-day trial that does not ask for a credit card, and after that plans start at $15 a month. It is built for people publishing every week, where the brand kit, the saved projects, and the other five platforms in the same run are what earn the subscription.

Do carousel posts do well on LinkedIn?

They tend to hold attention longer than a plain text post, because each swipe is a small commitment the reader already made. That is a reason to use the format, not a guarantee: a carousel with nothing to say performs like anything else with nothing to say. Five to fifteen slides is the working range.

Do I have to run each tool separately?

No, and this is the part most people miss. Every platform is selected by default when you create a project, and Purpeu writes all of them from your source in a single run. One generation covers the whole set, whether you keep one platform or all six, so running the carousel, the LinkedIn posts, the Instagram caption, the X thread, the Facebook post, the TikTok script, and the newsletter section costs exactly the same as running just one. The carousel slides, the ZIP, and the PDF are all built in that same run at no extra cost. AI post images, voiceovers, and lead magnet PDFs are the exceptions: each has its own allowance.

Can I use the same slides on Instagram and LinkedIn?

Yes, and that is the point of generating both at once. Design at 1080x1350 or 1080x1080 and both platforms accept it. The difference is packaging: Instagram takes the separate PNG files, LinkedIn takes the PDF, and Purpeu produces both from one run.

Does Purpeu post the carousel to LinkedIn for me?

No. You upload the PDF yourself. Purpeu writes the content, draws the slides, exports the document, and can hold the post on a content calendar, but it does not publish to any platform.

How many slides should a LinkedIn carousel have?

LinkedIn allows up to 300 pages, but five to fifteen is realistic and long documents lose people well before the end. Purpeu defaults to letting the AI pick between 3 and 10 based on the source, and you can set an exact number instead.
