Resize Images for a LinkedIn Banner
A LinkedIn profile banner is 1584 by 396 pixels, a wide 4:1 strip that sits behind your photo. LinkedIn crops the top and bottom of anything taller, and mobile hides the lower edge behind your profile card. Resize to the exact banner size and keep your key visual centered so it survives on every screen.

| Use | Dimensions | Ratio | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Personal profile banner | 1584 × 396 px | 4:1 | Your profile photo covers the lower left on desktop, so keep text right of center. |
| Profile photo | 400 × 400 px | 1:1 | Displays as a circle. Upload square and center the face. |
| Company page cover | 1128 × 191 px | 5.9:1 | Used on organization pages, shorter than a personal banner. |
| Shared post image | 1200 × 627 px | 1.91:1 | The standard link and image share size in the feed. |

Everything runs in your browser, so your image never leaves your device.
Tips that make a difference
Design for the safe zone
The middle third of the banner shows on every device. Put your message there so mobile does not clip it.
Use a calm background
Busy banners fight with your photo and headline. A simple color or subtle texture reads more professional.
Keep the file light
Compress under 1MB for a fast profile load. LinkedIn does not need a huge file for a 1584px-wide image.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the LinkedIn banner size?
1584 by 396 pixels, a 4:1 ratio. That is the size for a personal profile background image.
Why is my LinkedIn banner cropped or blurry?
LinkedIn crops images that are not 4:1 and downscales oversized ones. Uploading exactly 1584 by 396 avoids both problems.
Is my image kept private?
Yes. The resize runs locally in your browser and your image is never sent anywhere.
