LinkedIn banner size: 1584 x 396 pixels
Your banner sits across the top of your profile, behind your profile photo. LinkedIn recommends 1584 x 396 pixels, a JPG or PNG under 8MB. That’s a 4:1 ratio: four times as wide as it is tall.
To change it on desktop:
- Click the Me icon at the top of LinkedIn and select View Profile.
- Click the Edit icon in the upper-right corner of your cover image.
- Choose Change photo and upload your new image.
- Crop or reposition it, then click Apply.
In the app, go to your profile, tap your cover image, then tap Edit or Add photo and tap Save.
LinkedIn profile picture size
LinkedIn accepts a profile photo anywhere between 400 x 400 and 7680 x 4320 pixels, as a JPG or PNG up to 8MB. GIFs aren’t supported. The photo appears as a circle, so start from a square image, such as 800 x 800, with your face in the middle and a little space around your head.
LinkedIn asks for a photo that won’t need much cropping. You can adjust the crop, position and filters after uploading.
Company Page logo and cover sizes
For a LinkedIn Page, upload a 400 x 400 logo and a 1512 x 256 cover image. Both must be PNG or JPEG files up to 3MB. LinkedIn recommends a high-resolution JPEG over a PNG for the sharpest result.
- Logo: it shows on light and dark backgrounds. A transparent logo is shown on white, so test both.
- Cover: screens of different sizes trim the cover horizontally or vertically. Keep text to a minimum and put key details in the center, away from the edges and especially the lower-right corner.
Post image sizes
For photos in posts, LinkedIn recommends images 1080 pixels wide, at least 552 x 276, up to 5MB. Any ratio from 3:1 (wide) to 4:5 (tall) works, and anything outside that range is centered and cropped. You can add up to 20 images to one post.
- Portrait, 1080 x 1350 (4:5): the tallest shape LinkedIn shows in full, so it takes up the most space in the feed.
- Square, 1080 x 1080: works for quotes, charts and product shots.
- Landscape, 1200 x 627 (1.91:1): the shape of a link preview. Best for screenshots and wide photos.
With two images, LinkedIn shows them side by side. With three or more, the first image sets the layout, so choose it carefully.
Article and event cover sizes
An article cover is best at 1920 x 1080 pixels, and LinkedIn crops covers to 16:9. An event cover must be 16:9 and at least 480 pixels wide. LinkedIn suggests sizes such as 1280 x 720. The event image appears in the feed post and on the event page.
Safe zones: keep the important parts visible
- Profile banner: your profile photo overlaps the lower-left of the banner, and different screens can crop it. Put text and logos in the center and right half.
- Page cover: keep key details away from the edges and the lower-right corner.
- Profile photo: the corners of a square photo are cut off by the circle, so keep your face in the middle.
- Text in images: less is better. A few large words read on a phone; a paragraph doesn’t.
Why your LinkedIn image looks blurry
A blurry banner or cover usually means the file was too small or too compressed. LinkedIn suggests uploading a larger file, choosing photos over images full of logos and text, and compressing it with a tool such as ImageOptim for Mac or Trimage for Windows before uploading. If a photo won’t upload at all, check it’s a JPG or PNG under 8MB, then try another browser.
Make your profile ready for replies
When someone gets a message from you, your profile is where they go to see who you are. A clear photo and a banner that says what you do make that visit count.
