LinkedIn Banner Size: 1584 × 396

The 4:1 background photo, cropped properly — and laid out so your profile picture does not cover what matters.

100% private. Your image is resized on your own device using your browser. It is never uploaded to a server, and there is no account to create.

Works with images up to roughly 50 MP (about 8000 × 6000 px) depending on your device's memory. WebP export is unavailable in a few older Safari versions — the option is disabled automatically when that is the case.

How it works

Three steps, no account, no watermark.

Add your image

Drag a file onto the box, click to browse, or paste straight from your clipboard with Ctrl + V. Nothing is uploaded anywhere.

Frame it

The crop box is already locked to 1584 × 396. Drag the image to move it and scroll or pinch to zoom until it looks right.

Download

Pick PNG, JPG or WebP. The file is compressed automatically to stay under LinkedIn's limit — or grab every LinkedIn size at once as a ZIP.

About the linkedin banner size

LinkedIn's background photo is 1584 × 396 pixels, a 4:1 strip that sits behind the top of your profile. It is the largest piece of visual real estate you get on the platform and the one most people leave as the default blue gradient, which is a quiet waste of the first thing a recruiter or client sees.

Two things break LinkedIn banners. The first is the profile photo, which overlaps the lower-left corner on desktop — roughly the first 250 pixels — so anything you put there is hidden. The second is mobile, where the banner is cropped tighter on both sides; the outer 15% of the width is not reliably visible. Keep your message in the right two-thirds, vertically centred, and it works on both.

Every LinkedIn image size

The complete list — click any row to load that size into the tool, or use the ZIP button to export all of them at once. Official means the platform publishes that figure itself; Recommended means it is the widely used standard where the platform publishes none.

Tips for LinkedIn

What actually makes the difference once the size is right.

Avoid the lower-left corner

Your profile picture sits over it on desktop. Treat roughly the first 250 × 250 pixels of the banner as unusable.

Work in the right two-thirds

That area stays clear of the profile photo and survives the tighter mobile crop. It is the natural home for a tagline or contact detail.

Say one specific thing

A banner that states what you do and for whom outperforms an abstract stock photo. One short line, large enough to read on a phone.

Keep it under 8 MB

LinkedIn rejects anything larger. This tool compresses automatically and shows you the final size before download.

Frequently asked questions

What is the LinkedIn banner size?

1584 × 396 pixels for a personal profile background photo — a 4:1 ratio, under 8 MB, as JPG or PNG.

Is the LinkedIn company page cover a different size?

Yes. A company page cover is 1128 × 191 pixels. Both sizes are in the table on this page and both are included in the full ZIP pack.

Why is part of my LinkedIn banner hidden?

Your profile picture overlaps the lower-left of the banner on desktop, and mobile crops the sides. Keep key content in the right two-thirds and vertically centred.

What should a LinkedIn banner show?

Something concrete: what you do, who you help, or a clean brand mark. Avoid busy stock photography — the strip is short and detail disappears.

Can I use a photo that is not 4:1?

Yes. Zoom and drag it inside the crop frame to pick the strip you want, or fill the extra space with a blurred version of the same photo.

Does LinkedIn compress my banner?

It re-encodes uploads, so starting from a clean 1584 × 396 export gives a noticeably sharper result than letting LinkedIn downscale a huge file.
