Publishing to LinkedIn
Post shapes, media limits, and the carousel and document paths.
Post shapes
Picked from what the post carries, in this order:
- Video: one video with the text
- Document: a PDF attached to the post, LinkedIn's native document viewer
- Carousel: turn on post as carousel and multiple images publish as one swipeable document, with an optional carousel title
- Multi-image: up to 20 images in one post
- Single image
- Link post: the post's link as LinkedIn's preview card, with the post text above it
- Text only
Per post you can set visibility: public, or connections only.
Limits
| Limit | Value |
|---|---|
| Text | 3,000 characters, hashtags appended |
| Media | Up to 20 items |
| Image size | 10 MB (JPEG, PNG, or GIF) |

| Documents | |

No native articles
LinkedIn has no API for authoring articles: that is LinkedIn's gap, not a toggle. A post composed as an article reaches LinkedIn as its companion link post: title, description, and link card pointing at the article's home.
Deleting
Deleting the post in FoPost deletes it on LinkedIn.
