Getting Started with Carousel Maker

Overview

LinkedIn carousels consistently outperform regular posts, they stop the scroll and drive 3-5x more engagement. But creating professional carousels usually requires design skills and external tools.

Supergrow's Carousel Maker lets you create stunning, on-brand LinkedIn carousels in minutes with customizable templates and seamless publishing, no design experience needed.

What You'll Learn

  • How to select and customize carousel templates

  • How to add content and manage slides

  • How to apply your branding with the Brand Kit

  • How to preview, download, and publish carousels

Before You Start

  • LinkedIn account connected to Supergrow

  • Content outline - Know what 5-10 key points you want to share

  • Brand colors (optional but recommended)

📌 Note: Carousel creation has moved into Creative Studio, our new built-in design tool. You can now create carousels by going to Creative Studio → + Design new → Carousels. The steps below cover the old Carousel Maker, which is still accessible via the banner at the top of Creative Studio.
