LinkedIn is more visual with each passing moment despite being a professional platform. Initially, LinkedIn users could only post a single photo at a time. But that has changed.
So, how can you post multiple photos on LinkedIn?
One can share more than one picture on LinkedIn with a single “Post” button click. LinkedIn has a feature that lets you share several photos in one post. Click the photo icon and select up to nine pics to add to your LinkedIn post. The multi-image post feature allows you to display your post with multiple images instead of cramming it with text.
Turn your LinkedIn into a visual-based platform by taking advantage of the multi-image posting feature. If you wish to know how to post multi-image posts on LinkedIn, read the article.

The first two photos are large and more visible to other LinkedIn users than the rest. Therefore, arrange your photos by starting with your most loved or preferred image.

Image Formats for an Ideal LinkedIn Post
Visual appeal is key to creating a great LinkedIn post. Therefore, you ought to know the formats and sizes LinkedIn recommends before uploading skewed photos to your LinkedIn.
You can post landscape, portrait, or square photos on your LinkedIn feed. You can upload 1080 by 1080 square photos, 1920 by 1080 for a portrait, or 1080 by 566 landscaped photos for a single image.
But LinkedIn recommends 1200 by 627 pixels or 1920 by 1080 pixels.
The sizing will change for multi-image posts. Stick to 1080 by 1080 pixels, 1920 by 1080 pixels, or 1200 by 627 pixels to enrich your LinkedIn with a visually-based story.
You can use a mix of layouts. Do not exceed 10 megabytes per post.
Ensure your images are PNG or JPG images. JPG files are easy to upload on LinkedIn. However, PNG gives the best image display on LinkedIn.
PNG files offer the best quality resolution and maintain their pixels as you upload them on LinkedIn.

FAQs
Sadly, one cannot reorder the images after hitting the “Post” button. The only thing you can edit after posting your post is the text.

So, the first image will be the most recent photo.
You’ll have to delete it, remodify the images according to how you want them to appear, and upload your pics to LinkedIn.
