Can I create both posts and carousels?
Yes! Postiv AI gives you flexibility in how you create LinkedIn content. Whether you need a quick post between meetings or a scroll-stopping carousel for your team to share, you've got three options.
Three Ways to Create LinkedIn Content
1. Create LinkedIn Posts Directly
Chat with your AI agent to create standalone LinkedIn posts.
How it works:
Type your topic or idea into the chat
Your AI agent searches your Content Library for relevant insights
Get a professional LinkedIn post in seconds
Review, refine if needed, and schedule
Best for:
Quick thought leadership posts
Sharing a single insight or story
Announcements or updates
Daily consistent posting
Example request: "Write a post about why cold email alone isn't enough anymore in B2B sales"
2. Turn Any Post Into a Professional Carousel
Start with a post, then convert it into a carousel.
How it works:
First, create a LinkedIn post about your topic
Review the post structure and outline
Ask your AI agent: "Turn this into a carousel"
The AI transforms it into a multi-slide visual format
Edit and customize the design
Best for:
Framework or process explanations
List-based content (tools, tips, mistakes)
Educational content that needs visual structure
Content your team will reshare
Why this works: Starting with a post ensures solid structure before designing slides. The post becomes your carousel script.
Example flow:
"Write a post about the 4 tools for AI workflows"
Review the post
"Turn this into a carousel"
Customize design and images via the editor
3. Create Carousels from Scratch
Go straight to carousel creation by requesting specific topics.
How it works:
Tell your AI agent what carousel you want
The AI generates both the content structure and slides
Review and customize in the carousel editor
Add or replace images as needed
Best for:
When you know exactly what carousel you need
Visual-first content (comparisons, before/after, tool demos)
Content that's designed to be shared by your team
Example request: "Create a carousel about our 3-step onboarding process for new clients"
Which Format Should You Use?
Choose Posts When:
You want quick, consistent daily content
Sharing a single insight or story
You have 5-10 minutes between meetings
Building thought leadership
Choose Carousels When:
Explaining frameworks or processes
Creating shareable content for your team
Educational content that needs visual structure
You want higher engagement and saves
Pro tip: Posts for consistency. Carousels for impact. Use both strategically.
The Recommended Workflow
For the highest-quality carousels, follow this process:
Start with a post: Create the LinkedIn post first
Review the structure: Make sure the content flow is solid
Convert to carousel: Ask the AI to turn it into slides
Customize design: Use the editor (upper right corner) to perfect the look
Add visuals: Replace placeholder images with relevant screenshots or graphics (via the "edit button")
Why start with a post? It ensures your carousel has a strong narrative before you spend time on design. Content first, design second.
Editing Your Carousels
Carousel editing is done through the dedicated edit interface (button in the upper right corner of your carousel), not via chat.
You can:
Edit text and typography
Change backgrounds, colors, and patterns
Add custom HTML patterns
Modify slide layouts
Add or replace images
Adjust slide counters and CTAs
Important: We don't recommend editing carousels via chat. Use the visual editor for better control.
Did you know? If you make changes to your design, you can save it as "default". Then the AI agent will always use that design!
Tips for Maximum Engagement
For Posts:
Use hooks that grab attention in the first line
Include your authority statements (set in Settings → LinkedIn Styling)
Add clear CTAs that drive action
Keep it scannable with line breaks
For Carousels:
Start with a compelling cover slide
One main idea per slide
Edit your carousels via the edit button, not via the chat.
Add relevant images or screenshots
End with a strong CTA
Remember
You don't need to choose one format. Successful LinkedIn strategies use both:
Posts for daily consistency and building relationships
Carousels for high-impact educational content your team can amplify
Action beats perfection. Start posting, see what resonates with your audience, and iterate.
