A square headshot cropped the way recruiters actually see it — small, circular, and next to your name.

Batch mode
Every image will be resized to and downloaded as one ZIP. Change the size below before you start.
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 400 × 400. 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 profile photo size
LinkedIn profile photos are 400 × 400 pixels, uploaded square and displayed as a circle. LinkedIn accepts files up to 8 MB, which is generous for an image this size, so file weight is rarely the problem. The framing is.
Unlike most social platforms, LinkedIn has a fairly settled convention for what belongs in this frame, because it is doing a specific job: it appears beside your name in search results, in a recruiter's list, in an InMail, and next to every comment you leave. The photos that work are head and shoulders with the face occupying roughly sixty percent of the frame, eyes on the upper third, and a background that does not compete. A full-body shot, a group photo with everyone else cropped out, or a picture taken from six feet away all read as unprofessional not because of the content but because the face is too small to register.

| Image | Size (px) | Max file | Source | What to know | Action |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Profile banner | 1584 × 396 | 8 MB | Official | 4:1. Your profile photo covers the lower-left corner on desktop. | |
| Shared post image | 1200 × 627 | 5 MB | Official | 1.91:1. The same ratio LinkedIn uses for link previews. | |
| Company page cover | 1128 × 191 | 8 MB | Official | Very wide and short — treat it as a strip, not a photo. | |
| Profile photo | 400 × 400 | 8 MB | Official | Head and shoulders, face filling about 60% of the frame. | |
| Company logo | 300 × 300 | 8 MB | Official | Square. A PNG keeps flat logo edges crisp. |
Tips for LinkedIn
What actually makes the difference once the size is right.
Face fills about 60% of the frame
This is the single biggest difference between a headshot that works and a holiday photo that has been cropped. Get close.
Eyes on the upper third
It is a portrait convention for good reason — it centres the face correctly once the circular mask is applied.
Plain background
The photo is rendered small beside your name. Anything busy behind you merges with your outline and muddies it.
Dress as you would for the job you want
The photo is doing work in recruiter searches, where it is often the only visual signal alongside a job title.
Frequently asked questions
What size is a LinkedIn profile photo?
400 × 400 pixels square, up to 8 MB, displayed as a circle. That is LinkedIn's stated recommendation.
How much of the frame should my face fill?
Around sixty percent. LinkedIn renders the photo small beside your name, so a distant shot leaves the face too small to recognise.
Does having a photo matter on LinkedIn?
Substantially. Profiles with a clear headshot receive markedly more profile views and connection acceptances than those without one.
What size is the LinkedIn background banner?
1584 × 396 for a personal profile. It has its own page on this site.
Can I use a logo instead of a photo?
On a personal profile it is allowed but works against you — LinkedIn is a people network and a face gets far more engagement. Use a logo on your company page instead.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. Cropping happens on your own device in the browser.
