For LinkedIn, the AI tools that matter make four things: a professional headshot, text-led images and carousels, short talking or product videos, and resized ad creatives. On VdoBloom that is AI Headshots, the Social Media Post Generator with a LinkedIn preset, Image to Video or Talking Avatar, and the Ad Resizer, all on one credit balance with no subscription required.

What works on LinkedIn, and what does not

LinkedIn is a feed of people. Posts that look like a person made them tend to beat polished brand graphics. That shapes how you should use AI there.

• Works: a clear headshot, simple charts and frameworks, a short clip of a real product, a person explaining one idea.
• Struggles: glossy stock-style scenes, images with fake text, videos that look like TV ads.

Use AI to remove production work, not to fake expertise. The idea in the post still has to be yours.

Headshots and profile images

Your profile photo is seen next to every comment you leave. A good one is well lit, front-facing, with a plain or softly blurred background. AI Headshots takes a few selfies and returns studio-style portraits. Choose the Corporate / LinkedIn style and the square shape.

A real AI Headshots result from VdoBloom: one casual selfie in, a studio LinkedIn portrait out, 5 credits per image. There is no text prompt here; the style preset does the work. Recreate this with the Corporate / LinkedIn style and the square shape.

Two rules. Pick the result that looks most like you on a normal day, not the most flattering one. People meet you on video calls. And keep the same photo across LinkedIn, your company site and speaker bios. For a closer look at whether these are worth it, read are AI headshot generators worth it.

Post images, carousels and infographics

Text-led images do well on LinkedIn because they work with the sound off and on a phone. Three ways to make them:

• The Social Media Post Generator with the LinkedIn preset, for quote cards and announcements.
• The Infographic Maker for frameworks, steps and simple data.
• The AI Image Generator with GPT Image 2.5, which renders short headlines cleanly: Try this prompt

For a document carousel, make each slide as a separate square or 4:5 image, then combine them into a PDF in any slide tool. Keep one idea per slide and big type. Check every number and every word; image models still invent small text.

Short video: talking clips and product shots

Two kinds of video fit LinkedIn well.

A person explaining one thing. If you are comfortable on camera, record yourself; it will beat any AI presenter for trust. If you are not, the Talking Avatar turns a portrait and a script into a lip-synced clip. Use your own photo with your consent, or a generated face, and say so if your audience would want to know.

A product or result in motion. Upload a product photo or screenshot to Image to Video and ask for a slow push-in or rotation. Kling 3.0 Omni keeps the source close. Five seconds is often enough for a post that loops. Try this prompt (you upload the photo). For a clip with no source photo, Seedance 2 Fast at 50 credits for 5 seconds at 720p: Try this prompt

If you already have a webinar or podcast, the Clip Maker cuts it into short vertical or square clips with captions.

LinkedIn ad sizes

LinkedIn's own help page recommends 16:9 at 1920 by 1080 for video ads and also supports square. Files are MP4, between 75 KB and 500 MB, and in-stream video ads run up to 90 seconds. Vertical formats are served on mobile; check Campaign Manager's preview before you launch, because placements change.

The Ad Resizer turns one approved ad into 1:1, 4:5, 9:16, 1.91:1 (1200 by 628) and 16:9 at 5 credits per size for a re-layout. Full cross-platform specs are in video ad specs for Meta, TikTok, YouTube and LinkedIn.

A simple weekly LinkedIn routine

Consistency matters more on LinkedIn than polish. A routine that takes an hour a week beats a perfect post once a month.

1. Monday: write three short post ideas from things you learned at work last week.
2. Tuesday: make one image per idea. A quote card, a simple framework, or a product shot. Keep text short and large.
3. Wednesday: turn the strongest image into a 5-second clip, or cut a 30-second segment from a recent call or webinar with the Clip Maker.
4. Thursday: post the best piece, and reply to every comment in the first hour.
5. Friday: note which post did best and why. Save the prompt that made its image.

Costs stay low. Three images on Nano Banana 2.1 at 2K are 12 credits (Try this prompt), and one 5-second Kling 3.0 Omni clip at 720p is 40. Draft cheap, then spend only on the piece you will post.

For company pages, the same routine works with a product or customer angle. Make sure anything that looks like a customer story is real and approved.

Labeling and trust

LinkedIn shows content credentials on some AI-generated images, and audiences there are quick to spot fakes. Do not generate fake screenshots, fake testimonials or images of real colleagues without their consent. A short "made with AI" note on an illustrative image costs nothing and avoids awkward comments.

Accessibility helps reach too. Add alt text to every image post, and burn captions into every video, because most LinkedIn video is watched without sound. The Clip Maker adds captions to clips it cuts; for generated clips, add captions in your editor before posting.
