LinkedIn performs especially well with document-style posts and carousel visuals. A simple photo grid can act like a “slide” that summarizes key points: case studies, product highlights, portfolio pieces, or event recaps. This guide shows layout ideas and a workflow using Collaigo.

Recommended LinkedIn Sizes

  • Single image post: around 1200 Ă— 627.
  • Square: 1080 Ă— 1080 for a clean, consistent feed look.
  • Carousel slide: use a consistent aspect ratio for every slide; export at high resolution for clarity.

Grid Layout Ideas

  • 3 Ă— 2: classic “six highlights” grid.
  • 2 Ă— 2: portfolio preview or product variants.
  • Hero + details: one large image plus smaller supporting shots.
  • Text + grid: small header area for title + a grid below.

Workflow

  1. Pick your target size (square or landscape).
  2. Choose a grid template (3 Ă— 2 is a great default).
  3. Upload photos and align scale so the grid looks consistent.
  4. Use a clean background and moderate spacing (12–24px).
  5. Add minimal text only when necessary: a short headline, date, or category label.
  6. Export PNG if you include text; export JPG for smaller size.

LinkedIn-Specific Tips

  • Legibility: many users browse on mobile; use larger text and clear images.
  • Consistency: if you post multiple slides, keep spacing and typography identical.
  • Professional tone: neutral backgrounds and consistent colors usually perform best.
