Want to make your LinkedIn posts more engaging? Try adding multiple images. While simple, this move will give your posts more depth and increase engagement by offering extra context and visual appeal. Whether sharing insights, telling a story, or showcasing a project, multiple photos help your message stand out.
In this post, I’ll show you exactly how to post multiple photos on LinkedIn. I’ll also walk you through the best practices for choosing and optimizing images, and how you can manage and schedule LinkedIn posts more easily.
You’re scrolling through LinkedIn, and a well-crafted, visually engaging post grabs your attention. Five minutes later, you’re still there, reading all the comments and learning all about that creator. Been there, done that.
In fact, you, me, and everyone who enjoys scrolling through the never-ending LinkedIn feed have been there. But there’s a reason for that. Our brains seem to process images 6 to 600 times faster than text (the study was based on photos rather than complex diagrams — still, pretty interesting stuff).
Once you’ve figured out what to post on LinkedIn, the rest is pretty straightforward after you get used to the technicalities and steps required.
And trust me, you need to post multiple images along with your texts if you want to grab your audience’s attention. So, let’s go through the step-by-step process of doing that.
When you’re adding images to your LinkedIn posts, getting the photo requirements right is key. If your images are too small or not the right shape, they can look blurry or get cropped in weird ways, which could make your post look unprofessional.
Here are some quick size limit tips to help you stick to LinkedIn’s requirements:
Some extra handy tips to keep in mind:
Adding multiple images to your LinkedIn post is straightforward:
After uploading your images to LinkedIn, take a moment to refine them using the icons in the footer of your editor. Here’s how:
With your images and text ready, you can now craft a caption that resonates with your audience in the “What do you want to talk about?” field.
Next, something really important: your LinkedIn hashtag strategy. Adding hashtags will boost your post’s visibility and engagement. But don’t overdo it (three to five hashtags at the end of your post or throughout the body of the text are enough).
When you’re ready to share your content on LinkedIn, simply click Next. In the post pop-up window, you can select who can see and comment on your post. Make sure everything is set exactly the way you want it before publishing.
When you’re satisfied, click Post to share it right away, or use the clock icon to schedule your post for a more suitable time.
The LinkedIn mobile app is pretty similar and straightforward, too, so you can share multiple photos by following the same steps.
Still, LinkedIn scheduling has its limitations. For example, you can’t schedule the first comment along with the post, edit scheduled posts, or schedule posts in bulk. So why not consider planning and scheduling LinkedIn posts like a pro with Planable?
The tool simplifies the entire content creation and publication process for multiple posts at once, allowing your entire team to work together from one intuitive dashboard.
If your LinkedIn strategy is a priority, investing in the right tools and processes is a must. Managing your social media is much easier with a bird’s-eye view of all your posts.
So, let’s explore how you can use Planable to schedule and manage your LinkedIn posts with multiple images. In the next few steps, I’ll show you how to upload, edit, and publish your multi-photo posts quickly and easily and why using such a tool matters in the grand scheme of things.
To start using Planable for managing your LinkedIn content, simply sign up for free on the website — it’s quick and easy, plus you get 50 posts for free. After logging in, open Planable on your desktop or mobile device.

To be or not to be? To add multiple photos to your post or to go for a PDF on LinkedIn?
Well, it depends on the kind of content you want to share and what you aim to achieve. Here’s why:
Whichever style you choose, here are some key considerations to keep in mind if you’re sharing more than one picture:
Using multiple images in your LinkedIn posts can significantly enhance engagement. Just look at Ryanair: 700 likes for that. And by that, I mean:
Visual content like this is more eye-catching, and a series of images can tell a more compelling story than a single picture. Still, carousel posts offer an interactive experience, making them ideal for detailed content.
The best part is that you don’t have to choose. With Planable, you can easily plan, collaborate on, and schedule multiple-image posts and PDFs. This way, your content is always ready to go when your audience is most active.
