LinkedIn photo sizes worth using
LinkedIn still fits uploads into a handful of frames (feed, banner, company cover, article, event). Export to one of those sizes first and the site has less reason to clip a face or stretch a banner.
| Format | Size in pixels | Aspect ratio |
|---|---|---|
| Portrait post | 1080 × 1350 | 4:5 |
| Square post | 1080 × 1080 | 1:1 |
| Link preview | 1200 × 627 | 1.91:1 |
| Profile picture | 400 × 400 | 1:1 |
| Profile banner | 1584 × 396 | 4:1 |
| Company cover | 4200 × 700 | 6:1 |
| Article cover | 1920 × 1080 | 16:9 |
| Event cover | 1600 × 900 | 16:9 |
What LinkedIn does to a photo you have not resized
The feed accepts a range of ratios, then crops to whatever slot it needs. A landscape shot in a 4:5 post loses the sides. A square dropped onto a 1584 × 396 banner keeps a thin strip through the middle. Company covers are worse if you still use the old 1128-pixel spec (LinkedIn now wants 4200 × 700).
Cropping here first means you choose the subject, and you send LinkedIn a file that already matches the slot.
A quick way to pick a format
Use 1080 × 1350 (4:5) when you want a feed post to take more screen on a phone. Square 1080 × 1080 is the safer default for carousels and multi-image posts. Link previews display at 1200 × 627, the same Open Graph size most sites already use.
Profile photos are 400 × 400 (a company logo uses the same square). Personal banners are 1584 × 396. Company covers are 4200 × 700. Articles use a 1920 × 1080 cover (16:9). Events use 1600 × 900.
How to keep the download looking sharp
Work from the largest original you have. For a company cover, start with a wide file or the 4200-pixel export will look soft. JPG is the better default for photographs. PNG is the better default for type, logos, and screenshots.
On a banner or company cover, keep names and logos away from the edges and the lower third. Profile details and page titles sit there and will cover anything you place on the rim.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I resize an image for LinkedIn without an app?
Yes. Add a photo here, pick a size, set the crop, and download. The export matches the pixel size LinkedIn shows, so you can post it from your phone or desktop next.
What is the best image size for a LinkedIn post?
1080 × 1350 (4:5) takes the most height in the mobile feed. Square 1080 × 1080 also works and is the usual size for carousel slides. LinkedIn accepts ratios from about 3:1 to 4:5.
What size should a LinkedIn profile picture be?
Export a 400 × 400 square. LinkedIn accepts larger files, but this is the size it recommends and shows as a circle, so keep the face in the centre. A company logo uses the same 400 × 400 square.
What size is a LinkedIn banner or cover photo?
A personal background banner is 1584 × 396. A company page cover is 4200 × 700. Guides that still list 1128 × 191 are out of date, and that older size is a common reason covers look blurry.
What size should a LinkedIn article or event cover be?
Article covers are 1920 × 1080 (16:9). Event covers are 1600 × 900, also 16:9. Keep the title artwork in the middle so a narrower crop does not clip it.
What size should a LinkedIn carousel slide be?
Use 1080 × 1080 for square slides or 1080 × 1350 for portrait. LinkedIn treats carousels as document posts (PDF is the usual export), but the slide itself should still start at one of those pixel sizes.
Will this tool make my photo look worse?
A downsize from a clean original should look fine. What usually looks worse is posting a huge file or an outdated cover size and letting LinkedIn compress or stretch it. If your crop is smaller than the target, we flag that you are about to upscale.
When should I export PNG instead of JPG?
JPG for photos (smaller, faster to upload). PNG when the image has type, flat colour, or a hard edge that JPG will smear.
Do I have to create an account?
No. There is no sign-up, no watermark, and no cap on downloads.
Does the photo get sent to a server?
No. Cropping and export happen in this browser tab. Close the page and the file is gone from here.
