LinkedIn Content Image Generator#

Create feed posts, article covers, and carousel graphics optimized for LinkedIn's algorithm and professional visual standards.

Workflow#

Step 1: Understand the Content Goal#

Ask (if not provided):

• What type? (feed post / article cover / carousel / company update)
• What industry? (tech, finance, consulting, HR, marketing)
• Goal? (thought leadership, lead gen, hiring, brand awareness)
• Personal profile or company page?

Step 2: Apply Algorithm-Aware Decisions#

Read references/algorithm.md for:

• Content type ranking by reach
• Dwell time and engagement signals
• Posting strategy for B2B audiences
• Avoid suppression patterns

Step 3: Apply Visual Style#

Read references/design-style.md for:

• Professional aesthetic standards
• Color palette by industry
• Typography for credibility
• Carousel slide design patterns

Step 4: Generate with Rendshot#

Feed Post (1200x627):

text

generate_image({
  prompt: "LinkedIn feed post for a SaaS startup, professional clean design, title 'We Raised $5M Series A', navy and white palette, company logo area top-left, key metrics grid below title",
  platform: "linkedin_post",
  locale: "en"
})

Carousel (multi-slide, 1200x627 each):

text

// Slide 1 — Cover
generate_image({
  prompt: "LinkedIn carousel cover, '5 Lessons from Scaling to 100 Employees', professional dark blue gradient, large bold title, author photo area bottom-left",
  platform: "linkedin_post"
})

// Subsequent slides — use template for consistency
generate_image({
  template_id: "tpl_linkedin_slide",
  variables: { slide_number: "1", lesson_title: "Hire slow, fire fast", body: "..." }
})

Using templates:

text

list_templates({ platform: "linkedin_post", q: "professional" })
get_template({ template_id: "tpl_xxx" })
generate_image({ template_id: "tpl_xxx", variables: { ... } })

Step 5: Save for Brand Consistency#

text

create_template({
  name: "Company Announcement",
  html: "<returned html>",
  variables: [...],
  platform: "linkedin_post",
  tags: ["announcement", "corporate", "professional"]
})

Key Principles#

• Professional first: No memes, no casual design. Clean, credible, corporate-appropriate.
• Carousel is king: LinkedIn carousels (PDF documents) get 3-5x more reach than single images.
• Value-dense: LinkedIn users expect insights, data, and actionable takeaways.
• Author credibility: Include author name/photo/title — personal branding drives engagement.
