Resize image for LinkedIn banner

The LinkedIn profile banner size is 1584 x 396 pixels (4:1 ratio). Use the exact dimensions to avoid cropping and keep your banner sharp.

LinkedIn banner image dimensions

The LinkedIn profile background photo (banner) displays at 1584 x 396 pixels, a 4:1 aspect ratio. This is the wide, horizontal strip that appears behind your profile photo on your LinkedIn profile page. Getting the dimensions right prevents LinkedIn from cropping or stretching the image.

LinkedIn accepts banner images with a minimum width of 1192px and will scale them to fit its display container. Uploading at exactly 1584 x 396 avoids any resizing by LinkedIn and ensures the image looks as you intended.

Design tips for LinkedIn banners

Your profile photo overlaps the bottom-left corner of the banner. On desktop, the profile photo circle is approximately 200px wide and sits roughly 100px from the left edge and 50px from the bottom of the banner. Avoid placing important content in that area, as it will be covered by the profile photo.

LinkedIn also adds a gradient overlay at the bottom of the banner on some views. A clean background without important text near the bottom edge works best. The center of the banner is the safest zone for logos, headlines, or taglines.

Frequently asked questions

What is the correct LinkedIn banner size in 2026?

The LinkedIn profile banner (also called the background photo or cover image) should be 1584 x 396 pixels at a 4:1 aspect ratio. LinkedIn accepts images between 1192 x 220 and 4096 x 4096, but 1584 x 396 is the native display size and gives the sharpest result.

How is the LinkedIn banner different from a company page cover?

Personal profile banners are 1584 x 396 pixels. LinkedIn company page covers use a slightly different size: 1128 x 191 pixels. If you are setting up a company page, use 1128 x 191. Filagram lets you enter custom dimensions for either format.

Does LinkedIn crop the banner on mobile?

Yes. On mobile, LinkedIn shows a centered portion of the banner and may crop the left and right edges. Keep important content (text, logos, faces) in the center third of the 1584px-wide canvas to ensure it remains visible on all devices.
