How to Post PDFs as Photos in a LinkedIn Carousel with GoHighLevel

Using ClickUp to manage content workflows is helpful, but when it is time to publish, you also need a reliable process to turn PDFs into LinkedIn carousel images. This guide walks you through using GoHighLevel together with Canva and LinkedIn so you can quickly convert PDFs to images and publish an engaging carousel post.

This tutorial is based on the official instructions from the GoHighLevel help article about posting PDFs as photos in a LinkedIn carousel. Follow the steps below to reproduce the same workflow inside your own content process.

Overview: Why Use GoHighLevel for LinkedIn Carousels

LinkedIn does not accept PDFs directly as a carousel format inside most social schedulers. However, you can convert each page of your PDF into an image and upload those images as a multi-image carousel post. GoHighLevel makes it easy to schedule the final LinkedIn carousel once your images are ready.

The workflow looks like this:

• Prepare each PDF page as an image in Canva.
• Download the images in a suitable format.
• Create a multi-image carousel post on LinkedIn.
• Use GoHighLevel to organize, manage, and measure your LinkedIn content strategy.

This approach preserves the look of your original PDF while taking advantage of LinkedIn’s native carousel experience.

Step 1: Prepare Your PDF Content for GoHighLevel Scheduling

Before working in LinkedIn, you need your content organized. While the actual conversion happens in Canva and LinkedIn, GoHighLevel can be part of your planning and scheduling process.

At this stage, you should:

• Confirm your PDF pages are laid out in a square or vertical format that looks good on LinkedIn.
• Decide on the number of pages you want to appear in the carousel.
• Draft your LinkedIn caption text and hashtags inside GoHighLevel or your content planner.

Once your messaging is approved and ready, move on to the design and export steps in Canva.

Step 2: Convert PDF Pages to Images in Canva for GoHighLevel Campaigns

The key requirement for a LinkedIn carousel is that each page of your PDF must become its own image. Canva offers a simple way to do this.

Open Your PDF Design in Canva

1. Log in to your Canva account.
2. Open the design that contains the pages you want to post as a carousel.
3. Verify that each page is designed consistently so the carousel feels cohesive on LinkedIn.

Download Each Page as an Image

To create images that can be uploaded individually, do the following:

1. Click the Share button in the top-right corner of Canva.
2. Choose Download from the menu.
3. Under File type, select an image format such as PNG or JPG.
4. In the Pages section, select All pages (or only specific pages you want in the carousel).
5. Click Download to save the images to your computer.

You should now have a set of image files, one for each original PDF page. These images are what you will upload into your LinkedIn carousel post, which can then be organized and scheduled using GoHighLevel as part of your overall campaign.

Step 3: Create a LinkedIn Carousel Post from Your Images

With your images downloaded, you can now build the LinkedIn carousel directly on the LinkedIn platform.

Start a New LinkedIn Post

1. Go to your LinkedIn home feed or company page.
2. Click the Start a post field.
3. Select the Image icon to add photos.

Upload Carousel Images

1. In the upload dialog, select all the images you exported from Canva.
2. Click Open to add them to your post.
3. Reorder the images if necessary so the sequence matches your original PDF page order.

Each image will appear as one slide in the LinkedIn carousel. Users will be able to click or swipe through them just like they would scroll through your PDF pages.

Add Your Caption and Hashtags

Now add the written content you prepared while planning your GoHighLevel campaign:

• Paste in your main caption, summary, or hook.
• Add relevant hashtags to increase reach.
• Mention any people or companies if needed.

When everything looks correct, publish the post immediately, or coordinate your timing with the rest of your GoHighLevel social media activities.

Step 4: Align LinkedIn Carousel Posts with GoHighLevel Strategy

Although the technical act of uploading the carousel happens on LinkedIn, GoHighLevel can still be central to your content operations.

Use GoHighLevel to Plan Carousel Content

Consider managing the following directly inside GoHighLevel:

• Campaign themes and topics for each carousel.
• Approval workflows for copy and design.
• Notes about which PDF pages map to which LinkedIn image slides.

By centralizing your planning, you maintain clarity over what has been posted, what needs design work in Canva, and what is queued for publishing.

Track Performance of LinkedIn Carousels with GoHighLevel

Once your carousel is live, update your records in GoHighLevel so your team can measure impact across channels. You can:

• Record URLs of published LinkedIn carousel posts.
• Log performance metrics such as views, reactions, comments, and shares.
• Attach those metrics to specific offers, funnels, or pipelines inside GoHighLevel.

This helps connect your LinkedIn PDF carousels to tangible outcomes like leads and sales.

Tips for Better LinkedIn Carousels with GoHighLevel

To get the most out of this workflow, keep these best practices in mind:

• Use clear, bold headlines on the first page to capture attention.
• Maintain consistent branding across every slide: fonts, colors, and logo placement.
• Limit text per slide so it remains readable on mobile devices.
• Include a call to action on the final slide that points to a funnel or offer you manage in GoHighLevel.
• Document your process in a standard operating procedure so your team can repeat the process quickly.

Resources for Scaling Your GoHighLevel Content System

If you want to extend this workflow beyond a single carousel, consider standardizing your entire content system. Agencies and businesses often pair GoHighLevel with external strategy and implementation support.
