LinkedIn Banner Size: 1584×396 (Free Resizer, No Upload)

The LinkedIn banner is prime personal-branding real estate, but its wide 4:1 shape and the way your profile photo overlaps it trip people up. Size it correctly and it looks polished on every device.

The correct LinkedIn banner size

  • Resolution: 1584 × 396 pixels
  • Aspect ratio: 4:1
  • Formats: JPG, PNG, GIF (up to 8 MB)

This is for the personal profile background. (LinkedIn company page cover images are 1128 × 191 — a different spec.)

How to resize your banner

  1. Open the image resizer.
  2. Drop in your image.
  3. Set the size to 1584 × 396.
  4. Download — it's all done in your browser, nothing uploaded.

If your image isn't 4:1, crop it to a 4:1 frame first so resizing doesn't distort it.

Mind the overlap

On desktop, your circular profile photo sits over the lower-left of the banner. Keep your name, tagline, or logo in the upper-right area so nothing important is hidden. Preview on mobile too — the crop differs slightly.

Tips

  • Use a simple, on-brand background. A subtle pattern or a single message beats a busy photo.
  • Export sharp. If your source is small, upscale it before resizing so the wide banner stays crisp.

Frequently asked questions

What size is a LinkedIn profile banner?
1584 × 396 pixels, a 4:1 aspect ratio. That is the recommended size for the background image on a personal profile. Upload at exactly this size so LinkedIn doesn't crop or stretch it.
Why does LinkedIn crop my banner?
Because the uploaded image isn't 4:1, or because key elements sit too low — your profile photo overlaps the lower-left of the banner on desktop. Keep important text and logos in the upper-right portion.
What file types and sizes does LinkedIn accept?
JPG, PNG, and GIF up to 8 MB. A 1584×396 JPG is tiny, so size is rarely an issue — but compress if needed.
