LinkedIn supports up to 10 images only in a single carousel post, while Pinterest allows 5 images only.

Why make a Multi Image Post?
Multi photo and video posts are a powerful tool for anyone looking to enhance their online presence efficiently. These multi-image posts enable you to share engaging stories, showcase products or services, and present information in a visually appealing way.
By leveraging carousels, you can elevate user engagement, captivate your audience with creative content, and optimize time by delivering a message or displaying multiple products within a single, scrollable post. This not only enhances the professional appeal of your profile but also aligns strategically with social media platform’s algorithm, potentially improving visibility and growth metrics.
