Question 1

What is the LinkedIn Carousel to Video Generator?

Accepted Answer

It's a free browser tool that combines a series of slide images — or the pages of any PDF — into a single MP4 video you can upload directly to LinkedIn. You control the aspect ratio, duration per slide, transitions, Ken Burns camera motion and background music.

Question 2

Why would I upload a video instead of a carousel on LinkedIn?

Accepted Answer

Video posts typically receive more reach and watch time on LinkedIn. Uploading your carousel as a video lets you reach audiences that prefer auto-playing video and still tells the same swipeable story slide by slide.

Question 3

What aspect ratios are supported?

Accepted Answer

You can export in 1:1 (square), 4:5 (vertical feed) or 9:16 (LinkedIn Reels). 1:1 is the safest choice for the LinkedIn feed, while 4:5 and 9:16 work best for mobile-first audiences.

Question 4

What transitions are available?

Accepted Answer

Eleven transitions are built in: fade, fade to black, slide (left/right/up/down), wipe (left/right/up/down) and zoom. Each transition's duration is adjustable between 0 and 2 seconds.

Question 5

What is Ken Burns camera motion?

Accepted Answer

Ken Burns is a subtle pan and zoom effect that breathes life into static images. You can choose from zoom in, zoom out, pan left/right/up/down, or no motion at all, plus a subtle / medium / strong intensity.

Question 6

Can I add background music?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pick any track from the built-in royalty-free catalog and adjust the volume. The music is mixed in with a short fade-in and fade-out so it sounds polished.

Question 7

How many slides can I include?

Accepted Answer

You can add up to 30 slides per video. For the best LinkedIn engagement, 5-10 slides that stay on screen for 3-4 seconds each tend to perform best.

Question 8

Can I upload a PDF instead of separate images?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Switch to the PDF tab and drop in any PDF — every page is rendered as a high-resolution image and added to your slide list. You can reorder, remove or mix PDF pages with separately uploaded images.

Question 9

Is there a watermark on the exported video?

Accepted Answer

No. The exported MP4 is completely clean — no watermarks, no CarouselMaker branding. It's ready to upload to LinkedIn as-is.
