LinkedIn banner size is 1584x396, a 4:1 strip under 8MB
The background photo on a LinkedIn profile is a 4:1 banner that LinkedIn documents at 1584 by 396 pixels, accepted as JPG or PNG up to 8MB. Company and showcase pages use a flatter 1128 by 191 cover. Because the banner is scaled to the viewer's screen width, a file that is too small is stretched and goes soft, and a file that is the wrong shape is pushed through LinkedIn's cropper, which is awkward to position precisely.
The tool above writes exactly 1584x396 (or the company, post or profile-photo size), lets you choose which band of a taller image survives, and keeps JPEG output under the 8MB limit automatically. PNG is the right choice when the banner is flat colour, a logo and text; JPEG when it is a photograph.
| Use | Pixels | Ratio | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Profile banner | 1584x396 | 4:1 | 1584x396, 4:1. The background photo on a personal profile. |
| Company cover | 1128x191 | 5.91:1 | 1128x191. The cover image on a company or showcase page. |
| Post image | 1200x627 | 1.91:1 | 1200x627, 1.91:1. Link previews and single-image posts in the feed. |
| Profile photo | 400x400 | 1:1 | 400x400. The circular profile picture; LinkedIn asks for at least this. |
How to resize an image for a LinkedIn banner
- Drop the design export or the photo above. Export at full size from your design tool; do not screenshot it.
- Keep Profile banner selected for a personal profile, or switch to Company cover for a page. The two are not interchangeable; a profile banner on a company page gets cropped flatter.
- A photo is much taller than 4:1, so choose which band to keep with Keep this part: Top for skies and skylines, Centre for most landscapes, Bottom for a desk or a stage shot.
- Pick PNG for graphics, JPEG for photos, then Download. On LinkedIn open your profile, click the pencil on the banner, upload, and confirm without moving the crop.
Designing around the profile photo
The circular profile photo overlaps the banner's bottom-left corner on every layout, so a banner with text on the left reads as cut off. Put the tagline, the logo or the call to action in the right two-thirds and the upper half, and let the left side carry colour or background only. If you are cropping a wide photograph, Keep this part set to Right moves the subject into the clear area without opening an editor.
Starting from a small image, for instance a logo pulled off a website? The row will say it had to enlarge it. For text and logos, Pad to fit on a solid colour is a better answer than scaling: the logo stays at its native size, sharp, with the banner filled around it. For a small photograph, the AI image upscaler first, then this page.
Frequently asked questions
- What is the LinkedIn banner size?
- 1584 by 396 pixels for a personal profile, a 4:1 strip, as a JPG or PNG under 8MB. LinkedIn calls it the background photo. A company page cover is a different, flatter size: 1128 by 191. Both are shown scaled to the width of the screen, so the ratio matters more than the exact pixel count, but 1584x396 is the size LinkedIn documents and the one that is never blurred.
- Why does my banner look blurry on LinkedIn?
- Usually because the upload was smaller than 1584 wide and LinkedIn stretched it, or because it was a screenshot of a design rather than the export. Resize the original export to exactly 1584x396 here, as PNG if it is flat graphics and text, and the blur goes away. The row will warn you if the source had to be enlarged.
- Where does the profile photo cover the banner?
- On desktop, the circular profile photo sits over the bottom-left of the banner, roughly the left quarter and the bottom half. On the mobile app it is also left-aligned. Keep names, taglines and logos in the right two-thirds and the top half. The crop position control lets you shift a wide image so the important part lands there.
- Can I upload a photo that is not 4:1?
- Yes, but LinkedIn will crop it to 4:1 in its own editor, which is slow to use precisely. A normal 3:2 photo loses most of its height. Crop to fill here with Top, Centre or Bottom chosen gives you control, and Pad to fit keeps the whole image with bars, which works well for a logo on a colour.
- What about the post image and profile photo sizes?
- A single-image post or link preview shows best at 1200x627 (1.91:1). The profile photo should be at least 400x400, square, and is displayed as a circle. Both are in the size picker above so one drop can produce all of them.
- Is the banner uploaded to this site?
- No. Nothing is uploaded: the resize runs in your browser and the image never leaves your computer. There is no account and no watermark, which matters for a banner that carries your name or your employer's logo.
