The Canva alternative for moving carousels between Instagram and LinkedIn

Canva builds carousels. igli moves them. If your slides are already made and you only need a LinkedIn-ready PDF — or the reverse — you don't need a design suite. You need 30 seconds.

What is Canva?

Canva is a browser-based design tool. You build carousels from templates, then export them. It does a lot — which is the point, and also the catch. If your slides are already finished and you just need them in the right format for the other platform, it's more tool than the job asks for.
