LinkedIn Banner Size
1584 × 396 for personal profiles, 1128 × 191 for company pages — with the safe zones that keep your text visible.
Personal profile banner (background photo)
1584 × 396 px
4:1 ratio, 8 MB limit, JPG or PNG. Your profile photo overlaps the bottom-left on desktop — keep essential content upper-right.
| Placement | Size (px) | Ratio | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Personal profile banner | 1584 × 396 | 4:1 | Profile photo overlaps bottom-left |
| Company page banner | 1128 × 191 | ≈5.9:1 | Different size — don't reuse the personal one |
| Profile picture | 400 × 400+ | 1:1 | Circular crop everywhere |
| Company page logo | 300 × 300 | 1:1 | Shown next to every post |
| Feed image post | 1200 × 627 | 1.91:1 | Link previews use the same ratio |
The banner is your profile's headline image
LinkedIn profiles get scanned in seconds, and the banner is the largest pixel area you control — yet most profiles leave the default blue gradient. A banner that states what you do and for whom (plus a hint of proof) does real work in recruiter and prospect screens: it frames everything below it. Design at 1584 × 396, keep text in the upper-right two-thirds, and check it on mobile where the crop is tighter and the profile photo sits center-bottom.
Banner checklist
- Export at 1584 × 396 (or 2× at 3168 × 792 for sharpness).
- Keep text and logos out of the bottom-left quarter — the profile photo covers it.
- Company pages need a separate 1128 × 191 export.
- PNG for text/logo banners, JPG for photos, under 8 MB.
- Check the mobile crop: edges get trimmed, center-bottom is covered.
Frequently asked questions
What size is a LinkedIn banner?+
1584 × 396 pixels (4:1) for personal profile background photos, with an 8 MB limit — JPG or PNG. Company page cover images use a different size: 1128 × 191 pixels.
Why does my LinkedIn banner look cut off?+
Your circular profile photo overlaps the banner's bottom-left area on desktop (bottom-center on mobile), and different screens crop the edges differently. Keep text and logos in the upper-right two-thirds and treat the lower-left quarter as covered.
Is the company page banner really a different size?+
Yes — 1128 × 191 (roughly 5.9:1), noticeably shorter and wider than the personal 1584 × 396. Reusing a personal banner on a company page gets cropped badly; export the two separately.
What should I put on a LinkedIn banner?+
The banner is the only large visual on your profile — use it to say what you do and for whom: a one-line value proposition, your company or personal brand, and optionally proof (client logos, a metric). Recruiters and prospects read it before your headline.
What size is a LinkedIn profile picture?+
Upload at least 400 × 400 pixels (up to 7680 × 4320, 8 MB max). It displays as a circle everywhere, so center your face in a 1:1 square with some margin.
What file format works best?+
PNG for banners with text or logos (no compression artifacts), JPG for photographic banners. LinkedIn re-compresses on upload either way — start from a 2× export for sharpness.
