What real LinkedIn carousel ads are shaped like

How to use it

Square only. Each card shows at 312x312 in the feed, so any text on a card has to read at a third of its size.

The first card carries the ad. Most people see one card and the edge of the next; make the edge pull them across.

For single image and video specs, see LinkedIn ad sizes and LinkedIn video ad specs.
