## What you can post

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Text" icon="type">
    Up to 3,000 characters. A link stays plain text: LinkedIn does not build a preview card from it.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Media" icon="image">
    One image, up to 20 in a multi-image post, or one MP4 video on its own. Large images are resized to fit LinkedIn's limits.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Post types" icon="layers">
    Text post, image post, multi-image post, video post and document carousel, on profiles and company pages.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Analytics" icon="chart-line">
    Company pages only, over 7, 30 or 90 days: page views, clicks, shares, engagement, comments and daily follower gains, plus impressions, clicks, likes, comments, shares and engagement for each post. No analytics for personal profiles.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

**Not supported:** polls, link preview cards, uploading your own PDF, mentions of people (company pages can be mentioned), and visibility choices: every post is public.

## Connect LinkedIn

<Note>
  LinkedIn is listed in **Add Channel**, but it cannot be connected on PostQueen yet. It has two tiles: **LinkedIn** for your personal profile, and **LinkedIn Page** for a company page where you are an administrator or content administrator.
</Note>

## Post settings

Each LinkedIn post in the composer has these settings:

* **Post as images carousel**: **Post** or **Carousel**. **Carousel** turns 2 or more images into one swipeable document post. It works on profiles and company pages.
* **Carousel slide name**: the title of the document carousel. Left empty, it is `slides`.

The field names and values for the API are on [LinkedIn posting settings](/public-api/providers/linkedin).

## Good to know

* Before a post is scheduled, PostQueen checks that a multi-image post has at most 20 images, a video is the only media, a document carousel has 2 or more images and no video, and comments are text only.
* **Add comment** adds your own text comments under the post, each with its own delay.
* Mention a company page by typing `@` and the page's vanity name, the part after `linkedin.com/company/` in its address.
* Images larger than LinkedIn allows are scaled down to fit inside 6,000 by 6,000 pixels. Formats other than JPEG, PNG and GIF are converted to JPEG. A GIF goes up unchanged.
* PostQueen waits until LinkedIn has processed the media before it creates the post.
* In the composer, **Add comments by a different account** and **Add Re-posters** let your other LinkedIn profiles and pages comment on the post or reshare it.
* On company pages, **Auto Repost Posts** and **Auto plug post** in the channel's **Automations** on the **Channels** page reshare the post, or add a comment to it, once it reaches a like count you set. The post is checked every 6 hours, up to 3 times. See [how automations work](/using/auto-plugs).
