LinkedIn does not publish one official list for every slot, and it changes layouts over time. The LinkedIn image sizes above are the ones most designers and agencies use because they display cleanly today.
LinkedIn profile photo and banner
Your profile photo should be a clear, well-lit headshot at 400 x 400 pixels or larger, with your face filling about 60 percent of the frame. A plain background looks more professional than a busy one.
Your background banner is 1584 x 396 pixels. On desktop, your profile photo covers the lower-left part of the banner. On mobile, the banner appears smaller and the photo sits in the middle. Therefore keep text on the right half of the banner and away from the very top and bottom.
LinkedIn company page image sizes
- Logo: 400 x 400 pixels, square, on a solid background. It appears next to every post and job your company shares.
- Cover image: 1128 x 191 pixels. Because it is so wide and short, use a simple brand graphic or team photo with a short line of text in the centre.
LinkedIn post image sizes
Most people browse LinkedIn on their phones, where taller images take up more of the screen. For this reason, square (1080 x 1080) and portrait (1080 x 1350) images often get more attention than landscape ones. Use landscape (1200 x 627) for wide charts, event photos and banners.
Carousels on LinkedIn are usually PDF document posts. Design each page at 1080 x 1350 pixels, put one idea on each page, and use large text, because people read them on small screens.
Tips for professional LinkedIn images
- Use the same brand colours as your website and other social profiles.
- Keep text short and large. Many people read LinkedIn on phones.
- Use real photos of your team and work, which build more trust than stock images.
- Export as PNG for graphics with text and JPG for photos.
- Update your banner when your offer, services or job title changes.
