Quick answer
For a LinkedIn document carousel, use a PDF with consistent pages. A 4:5 page such as 1080 x 1350 works well for phone reading; a square page such as 1080 x 1080 is a simpler alternative. LinkedIn supports PDF document uploads, but readability matters more than a magic pixel count.

What this page owns
A LinkedIn carousel is a document. Searchable or selectable text, meaningful reading order, clear contrast, and an accurate post caption make it more useful than a stack of flattened screenshots.
That ownership boundary matters. Boomp uses one clear page for each search job instead of publishing near-duplicate pages that give different answers to the same question.
A dependable production method
- Export one consistent PDF.
- Read it at phone width before upload.
- Use large type and strong contrast.
- Check the document title and post caption.
- Open every uploaded page and verify the order.
The last check matters most. A design file, successful export, scheduler acceptance, or API response does not prove that the customer-facing artifact is correct.
Size is only one acceptance test
A technically valid file can still fail the business. Check these questions with the final media and caption together:
- Is every name, date, price, claim, location, and link current?
- Does the crop preserve the subject and the useful words?
- Are captions, contrast, and text alternatives sufficient for the content?
- Does the business have permission to use the people, customer material, music, footage, and marks shown?
- Does the call to action match the destination and what happens next?
- Did a responsible person approve this exact version?

Where Boomp fits
Boomp fits when the recurring problem is larger than one pixel count. The current first look starts with a public website and returns up to six website-grounded talking points before email. Those talking points are not finished posts and do not prove that Boomp knows the owner's voice. Email saves the first look and continues into post ideas. Finished media and posts belong to paid work, with the customer's approval settings controlling what represents the business.
Give Boomp your public website and review the first talking points before email.
