LinkedIn Image Sizes: The Complete 2026 Guide
LinkedIn is where a pixelated banner or a stretched logo actively costs you credibility. Personal profiles and company pages use completely different dimensions, and LinkedIn's crops are unforgiving. Here is every size the platform uses in 2026, ready to resize in one click.
| Use | Dimensions | Ratio | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Profile photo | 400 × 400 px | 1:1 | Displays as a circle — center your face and leave breathing room, since edges get trimmed. |
| Personal banner | 1584 × 396 px | 4:1 | Your profile photo overlaps the bottom-left corner on desktop — keep text to the right and upper half. |
| Company logo | 300 × 300 px | 1:1 | Shows tiny in feeds and search — use a simple mark, not a full wordmark, so it stays legible. |
| Company cover | 1128 × 191 px | 5.91:1 | An extremely wide, short strip — treat it as a background texture rather than a place for detailed text. |
| Shared link image | 1200 × 627 px | 1.91:1 | The preview LinkedIn pulls when you share a URL — the same asset works for Facebook link posts too. |
| Post image | 1200 × 1200 px | 1:1 | Square images take up the most feed height on mobile, where most LinkedIn scrolling happens. |

Pro Tips
- LinkedIn compresses images noticeably — upload PNGs for graphics with text and keep files under 1MB.
- Design personal banners with the left third mostly empty: your profile photo covers it on desktop.
- Square (1:1) post images outperform landscape on mobile because they occupy more screen height.
- Company covers render at different widths per screen — keep critical content in the horizontal center.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my LinkedIn banner look different on mobile and desktop?
LinkedIn crops the 1584 × 396 banner differently per device, and on desktop your profile photo sits on top of the lower-left corner. Keep logos and text in the upper-right two-thirds and the banner works everywhere.
What image size works best for LinkedIn posts?
1200 × 1200 square for native image posts, or 1200 × 627 if the image accompanies a link. Squares get more feed real estate on mobile, while 1.91:1 matches the link-preview card exactly.
