Why Exporting Directly from Canva Causes Issues
While Canva is fantastic for visual design, generating PDFs directly from complex templates can sometimes result in large file sizes that exceed LinkedIn's upload parameters or blurry text on mobile viewports.
- Text Blur on Mobile: Exporting as standard PDF often downscales embedded raster graphics.
- Aspect Ratio Mismatches: Standard presentation sizes (16:9) do not capture full vertical real estate on LinkedIn mobile feeds.

- Design in 4:5 Ratio: Set your custom Canva canvas size to
1080 x 1350 pxfor optimal mobile visibility. - Download as PNG (Zip): Export all your slides as high-resolution PNG images to preserve color gradients.
- Drop into CarouselCraft: Unzip your images and drop them into CarouselCraft.
- Re-order & Export: Inspect the live preview, sort your slide sequence, and download a single uncompressed PDF ready for LinkedIn document upload.
