LinkedIn’s Save to PDF or a resume
LinkedIn’s button is quick, and it’s fine when someone just wants a copy of your profile. But you can’t edit it, it lists everything you ever added, and it looks like LinkedIn, not like a resume.
If the PDF is going to a recruiter or a hiring manager, make a resume instead. The profile to PDF tool reads your profile, lets you fix and cut anything, and downloads a text PDF that applicant tracking systems can read. It takes about two minutes.
How to make a LinkedIn carousel PDF
LinkedIn doesn’t have a carousel button for personal posts. What people call carousels are PDF documents: you add a document to your post, and LinkedIn shows each page as a slide people swipe through.
So the job is making a good PDF. Write one point per slide, in big type, with a strong first slide that makes people swipe. The carousel maker does the layout and downloads the PDF, sized for the feed. If you only need one image, the post image maker is quicker.
How to save someone else’s LinkedIn post or carousel
LinkedIn has no download button for other people’s posts, and sites that promise to download them need your LinkedIn login or break LinkedIn’s rules. Don’t give them your password.
Use Save instead: press the three dots on the post, then Save, and find it later under My items. For a carousel you want offline, open it full screen and take a screenshot of each slide. Or simply ask the author in a comment. Most people are happy to send the PDF, and it starts a conversation.
After the PDF
Sending your resume because you’re looking for work? Tell your network too, with a calm post from the open to work post writer. Posting a carousel? Test the first lines of the post that goes with it in the hook checker, because the text above the carousel decides whether anyone opens it.
Every tool here is free, with no account. If you post on LinkedIn every week, Wiral does all of it in one place: it writes posts in your voice, makes the carousels and images, and schedules them.
