The LinkedIn profile banner size
LinkedIn recommends a background banner of 1584x396 pixels for personal profiles - a wide 4:1 strip behind your photo. Upload a photo the wrong shape and LinkedIn stretches or crops it, and your profile photo and name sit over the lower-left, covering part of it. This tool creates an exact 1584x396 banner so it looks sharp and nothing important is hidden.
Crop to fill or fit
- Crop to fill covers the whole wide strip and trims the top and bottom - best for a broad landscape or a repeating pattern.
- Fit (blurred edges) shows the whole image centred with a soft blur on the sides - useful for a logo or graphic you do not want cropped.
- Fit (colour) places the image on a solid colour, a clean corporate look.
Leave room for your profile photo
Your round profile photo and your name overlap the lower-left of the banner, so keep text and key visuals in the upper area and toward the right. Start from an image at least 1584 pixels wide so it stays crisp on large screens. A LinkedIn Company Page cover is a different size (1128x191), so use Custom dimensions in the Passport/Resize tools for that. Everything runs on your device - nothing is uploaded and there is no watermark.
