LinkedIn has specific recommended dimensions for profile banners, profile pictures, company page logos, company banners, and feed post images, and each of those placements crops and compresses differently across desktop and mobile.

LinkedIn personal profile backgrounds, often called banner images, use a 4 to 1 aspect ratio at 1584 by 396 pixels. On desktop, LinkedIn displays the banner at full width up to 1584 pixels and 396 pixels tall, sitting above the profile card with the profile picture overlapping the lower portion. On mobile, the banner is cropped to a narrower view, showing the central horizontal portion of the desktop frame. The profile picture overlaps the lower left area of the banner across both views, covering roughly a 180 by 180 pixel circular section. For a clean profile design, keep brand imagery, contact details, calls to action, and any text away from the lower left corner. Use the central and right two thirds of the banner for the most reliable cross-device display, treating that area as your reliable canvas.
LinkedIn post images display at 1200 by 627 pixels in the feed, which is a ratio of approximately 1.91 to 1 and matches the Open Graph standard used by most social platforms. Articles published on LinkedIn use a cover image at 1200 by 644 pixels, which is slightly taller than a feed post but visually similar. Document posts, which include PDFs and similar uploads, show a preview at varying sizes depending on the number of pages and the source aspect ratio. For carousel-style posts created by exporting a multi-page PDF, design each page at 1080 by 1080 pixels for a square carousel or 1920 by 1080 pixels for a 16 to 9 carousel, both of which render cleanly in the LinkedIn document viewer. LinkedIn article thumbnail images in the feed appear at roughly 200 by 200 pixels, so any cover image you design has to have a recognisable subject when scaled down to that small size.
Company pages on LinkedIn have distinct image requirements that differ from personal profiles in a few important ways. The company logo displays at 300 by 300 pixels on the company page itself, and at just 60 by 60 pixels in the LinkedIn feed when the company posts content under its name. This means a logo that works perfectly at 300 pixels but contains small text or fine detail may become unreadable in the feed at 60 pixels. Use a simple, high-contrast version of the logo with no fine detail elements, ideally a single colour mark on a clean background. The company page cover or banner is also 1584 by 396 pixels, the same dimensions as personal banners, and behaves similarly across desktop and mobile crops.
For LinkedIn ads and sponsored content, the recommended sizes follow the same general patterns. Single image ads use either 1200 by 627 pixels at 1.91 to 1 for landscape link ads or 1200 by 1200 pixels at 1 to 1 for square ads. Carousel ad cards use 1080 by 1080 pixels per card. Sponsored Content follows the same 1200 by 627 standard for link previews. Message ads and conversation ads use a 250 by 250 pixel banner image, which is small enough that fine logo detail is impossible to make out. Always check LinkedIn's current ad specifications directly when designing for paid campaigns, because the platform occasionally updates these specs and the differences between formats matter for both creative briefs and post-launch performance reporting.
Upload your image and resize to LinkedIn's recommended dimensions: 1584×396px for your profile banner, 400×400px for your profile picture, or 1200×627px for post images.
Step-by-step guide to resize image for linkedin:
Choose your LinkedIn image type
Decide which placement you are preparing for. Personal profile banner is 1584 by 396 pixels at 4 to 1. Personal profile picture is 400 by 400 pixels displayed as a circle. Feed post image is 1200 by 627 pixels. Company page logo is 300 by 300 pixels. Company page banner or cover is 1584 by 396 pixels. Background image inside the company life tab is also 1584 by 396 pixels. Picking the right placement up front saves a re-export later.
Upload to FixTools Image Resizer
Open the resizer and either drag the file into the upload zone or tap to pick a photo from your device. The tool accepts JPG, PNG, WebP, and most camera and screenshot formats directly. For headshots, use the sharpest original you have available rather than a previously compressed copy, since LinkedIn applies its own compression at upload and stacking compressions degrades the final result.
Enter LinkedIn dimensions
Type the exact width and height for your chosen LinkedIn image type. For a personal banner, enter 1584 by 396. For a feed post image, enter 1200 by 627. For a profile picture, enter 400 by 400. Leave Lock Aspect Ratio off when matching LinkedIn targets exactly, since the platform expects the precise pixel size and will crop or pad anything that does not match.
Resize and download
Click Resize, then verify the preview looks correct, especially that no important content sits in the lower left of a personal banner where the profile picture will overlap. Save as JPG at 90 percent quality for photos and headshots, or PNG for logos and graphics that contain text or sharp edges. Both formats work on LinkedIn, but the choice affects how the platform compression treats the asset.
Upload to LinkedIn
Upload the resized image through your LinkedIn profile editor, company page admin, or post composer. Because the source is at native dimensions, LinkedIn's on-upload processing has less to do and the displayed image keeps more detail. This matters most for banners and post images where the difference between a native upload and a recompressed large source is visible to anyone looking at the profile on a high-resolution screen.
Common situations where this approach makes a real difference:
A recruiter resizes their professional headshot to 400 by 400 pixels for their LinkedIn profile picture.
The recruiter relies on LinkedIn for inbound candidate outreach, and the profile picture is the first impression every prospective candidate forms before reading a single line of the recruiter's message. By resizing a recently taken professional headshot to a clean 400 by 400 pixel square with the face centred and a simple light background, the avatar reads sharply in candidate search results, InMail threads, and feed comments. Reply rates on cold InMails climb because the photo now looks intentional rather than like a casual phone selfie.
A B2B sales executive resizes a conference photo to 1584 by 396 pixels for their LinkedIn banner.
The executive is starting a quarterly prospecting push and wants the LinkedIn profile to reinforce credibility for every prospect who clicks through from an email signature. By resizing a photo from a recent industry conference keynote to the standard banner dimensions and placing the speaker's name and event branding within the central safe zone, the banner immediately signals authority. Prospects who land on the profile see a credible operator rather than a default LinkedIn banner, and connection acceptance climbs measurably.
A content marketer resizes a whitepaper cover image to 1200 by 627 pixels for a LinkedIn post.
The marketer is launching a gated whitepaper and wants the LinkedIn announcement post to occupy the full feed card rather than rendering as a small thumbnail. By resizing the whitepaper cover graphic to a precise 1200 by 627 pixels before scheduling the post through the company page, the announcement displays as a feed-stopping full-width image. Click-through to the whitepaper landing page climbs significantly compared to the previous launch, where an unresized cover graphic had rendered as a thumbnail and lost most of the visual presence.
A startup founder resizes their company logo to 300 by 300 pixels for the LinkedIn company page.
The founder is setting up the LinkedIn company page in parallel with the website launch and needs the logo asset to look sharp across every LinkedIn context from the page header down to the 60 by 60 pixel feed thumbnail. By resizing the master logo to a clean 300 by 300 pixel PNG with the brandmark centred and tested at the 60 by 60 thumbnail size, the company page presents professionally from the first day. New followers see a credible brand rather than a stretched or blurry logo upload, and the page builds trust faster.
Get better results with these expert suggestions:
Design LinkedIn banners for the mobile crop
On mobile devices, LinkedIn crops a 1584 by 396 pixel banner to display only the central portion, typically around 1200 by 190 pixels of effective height on certain devices. Position your name, tagline, contact information, or key graphic in the horizontal centre of the banner and away from the very top and bottom edges. Anything in the outer vertical bands of the desktop banner may not appear at all on mobile, which is where a large portion of LinkedIn visits happen.
Profile pictures: use a simple background for feed clarity
LinkedIn profile pictures appear at 48 by 48 pixels in the feed next to posts and comments, and at even smaller sizes in some notification contexts. At those scales, a complex or busy background makes the face unrecognisable to anyone scrolling the feed. Use a plain, high-contrast background in your 400 by 400 pixel profile photo, with the face occupying roughly the central two thirds of the frame, for the strongest visibility across every LinkedIn placement from the profile down to the smallest thumbnail.
Company logos: test at 60x60px before uploading
LinkedIn displays company logos at just 60 by 60 pixels in feed posts and even smaller in some search and notification contexts. Before finalising your 300 by 300 pixel logo asset, resize a copy to 60 by 60 pixels and look at it on a phone screen. Logos with small text, fine line work, or detailed iconography often need a simplified mark version at this scale. Many brand systems include a primary logo and a simplified app icon or favicon version specifically for these small contexts.
Post images at 1200x627px get full-width display
LinkedIn post images below a certain threshold display as a small thumbnail next to the post text rather than as a full-width image card in the feed. At exactly 1200 by 627 pixels, the image fills the full width of the post card on both desktop and mobile, which is significantly more visually prominent. This full-width treatment drives higher engagement on organic posts because the image grabs the eye during a scroll where a thumbnail would not have stopped a reader.
