You can download your mini-courses as PDF files that are adjusted for sharing on LinkedIn as a carousel post. This is a handy way of repurposing your mini-courses to reach a wider range of audience and growing organically on LinkedIn with an active profile and quality content.
To download the PDF version of your mini-course, click the share icon at the top right, and select LinkedIn Carousel.
The preview view will open, starting from the cover page of your mini-course. To preview cards, click “See Cards”
You can jump between cards and preview each of them.
If the content on your card is too long for a single PDF page, it will be transferred to another. You can scroll down to see how they look and make adjustments on your card accordingly.
As you know, mini-courses are interactive with videos, GIFs, questions, gateways and customized completions when they’re shared by a link or embedded in a webpage. However, PDFs cannot be that interactive. We cannot display videos, animated images, gateways and completions on PDFs by the nature of this format. When your mini-course is converted to a PDF, you will lose these elements.
However, you can quiz and survey questions present your mini-course will be visible on PDFs, too. Altough they would not be clickable or answered directly on the pages, there will be enough CTA to motivate your audience to get in touch with you, leave a comment on your post and engage with your content.
Please note that, you need to the text on your quiz card short, as the design is not fit to dividing the content into two pages. Beyond a certain length, your text will overlap with the options and look broken.
You can change the appearance of your PDF in terms of themes, colors, arrow type etc. from the Edit Theme button.
 Â
You can switch to a whole new theme by using the theme presets available, and you can also edit current settings of that theme.
These settings include font type, font size, colors, backgrounds and also the arrow placed at the bottom right of your PDF pages.
When you’re done with previewing, you can download your PDF and go to LinkedIn to post it as a carousel.

Here are some quick notes about our LinkedIn carousel feature.
MCG-created carousels might not be your first choice if you value rich visuality more. You can prepare great-looking “posters” as carousels on Canva or other specialized tools. However, “nice posters” come with design limits, and sacrificing content for the sake of visual appeal might not align with your goals.
MCG will be a great fit for you if you
- want to provide content-depth instead of posters with 1-2 sentences
- want to provide an e-book reading experience directly on LinkedIn interfaces
- created mini-courses and want to repurpose for LinkedIn in seconds
- do not want to spend time with design details.
In brief, there is a trade-off between visuality and content for carousels, and we are more biased for content since we believe that its depth is the only and true relation-starter on LinkedIn.
