LinkedIn banner size: 1584 × 396 px for profiles, 1512 × 256 px for company pages
The official background photo dimensions for personal profiles and company Pages in 2026, the file limits, where the profile photo overlaps — and how to crop the file without uploading it.
LinkedIn recommends a background photo of 1584 × 396 pixels for personal profiles — a very wide 4:1 strip — as a JPG or PNG under 8 MB. Company Pages use a different shape: the cover image is 1512 × 256 pixels, and the logo 400 × 400. Upload the wrong ratio and LinkedIn lets you drag a crop, but the result is rarely as clean as a file made at the right size.
On a personal profile the round profile photo sits over the lower-left part of the banner on desktop and is centred on mobile; on company Pages the logo overlaps the lower-left too. Design the left third as background and keep text and logos towards the centre and right.
LinkedIn image sizes at a glance
| Image | Recommended size | Ratio | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Profile background photo | 1584 × 396 px | 4:1 | JPG or PNG, under 8 MB |
| Profile photo | 400 × 400 px | 1:1 | circle crop |
| Company page cover | 1512 × 256 px | 5.9:1 | PNG or JPEG, under 3 MB |
| Company logo | 400 × 400 px | 1:1 | minimum 268 × 268 |
| Post image (single) | 1200 × 627 px | 1.91:1 | link previews use the same |
| Post image (portrait) | 1080 × 1350 px | 4:5 | takes more space in the feed |
Profile and company page dimensions come from LinkedIn’s Help Center; post image sizes are the common 1.91:1 and 4:5 formats LinkedIn displays without cropping.
Profile banner: 1584 × 396 and the mobile crop
The banner is shown edge to edge on desktop and slightly cropped on the sides in the LinkedIn app, so keep a margin of roughly 100 pixels left and right free of text. The profile photo covers the lower-left corner on desktop — leave that area as plain background. Because the strip is only 396 pixels tall, a single line of large text or a simple graphic reads best; detailed photos become an unreadable sliver.
LinkedIn notes that blurry banners usually come from small source files; a 1584 × 396 export straight from your design tool at high JPG quality avoids that.
Company page cover: 1512 × 256
Company Pages use an even flatter cover of 1512 × 256 pixels, as PNG or JPEG under 3 MB. LinkedIn crops it differently per device, so it advises placing key details away from the edges and centring important information. The logo — 400 × 400, minimum 268 × 268 — overlaps the lower-left of the cover in the same way a profile photo does.
Post images and link previews
Images in posts are displayed at 1200 × 627 (1.91:1) for landscape and up to 4:5 for portrait, where a 1080 × 1350 file takes up noticeably more of the feed. Link previews pull the page’s Open Graph image at the same 1.91:1 ratio. The social media resizer has presets for both, so one design can be exported for the banner, a post and a link preview in one go.
Preparing the file locally
Load the image into the resizer, choose the LinkedIn banner preset (1584 × 396) and drag the picture so the subject sits centre-right. Export as JPG for photographs or PNG for text-heavy designs, check the file stays under 8 MB, and upload. Nothing is sent to imagenimble — the whole process runs in your browser.
