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.
A cover is a single image; an ad campaign needs the same brand in dozens of formats. For that step myfeedr builds a complete banner set out of an existing company website, so logo, colours and fonts stay identical across every size.
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.
