LinkedIn Banner Size Guide

LinkedIn Banner Dimensions (Profiles, Company Pages, Posts)

LinkedIn uses different sizes for profile headers, company banners, and post creatives. The most common requirement is the personal banner at 1584 x 396, but company pages use a much shorter 1128 x 191 canvas. Use the table below to match your asset type to the proper format.

Safe Zones for Profile and Company Banners

The personal profile photo covers the left side of a LinkedIn banner, so keep text and logos centered or right-aligned. On mobile, the banner crops slightly, so avoid critical elements near the edges. For company banners, the reduced height means you should use large, high-contrast text and avoid detailed backgrounds.

Carousel and Document Post Sizing

LinkedIn carousels and document posts work best at 1200 x 1200 or 1080 x 1080 for square slides. This ratio keeps slides readable in the feed and consistent when users swipe. If you use horizontal layouts, the 1200 x 627 ratio is a safe alternative but shows less text per frame.

For professional-looking carousels, keep margins consistent and use the same font sizes across slides. This reduces visual fatigue and improves completion rates.

How to Resize a LinkedIn Banner

Use the PixelPerfect Resizer to set the exact dimensions above, then export in JPEG for photos or PNG for text-heavy visuals. Stick to sRGB and keep file sizes under 2 MB for faster uploads.

1. Choose your banner type (personal or company).
2. Enter the exact width and height in pixels.
3. Use JPEG for photos, PNG for crisp text.
4. Export and upload once to avoid extra compression.

Practical Examples

A consultant can use a 1584 x 396 banner with a centered value statement and a subtle background pattern. A company page can use a 1128 x 191 banner with a short slogan and product highlight in the center. Both should leave space around logos to avoid cropping on mobile.

LinkedIn Brand Consistency Tips

LinkedIn is a professional network, so keep banners clean and readable. Use a limited color palette, align text to the same baseline, and avoid overly busy backgrounds that reduce clarity. If you use a logo, keep it inside the center safe zone so it remains visible on both desktop and mobile.

For ads and sponsored posts, align creative sizes to the standard 1200 x 627 or 1200 x 1200 formats. This keeps your assets reusable across campaigns and reduces production time.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Placing text under the profile photo overlay.
• Using small type that becomes unreadable on mobile.
• Exporting at the wrong ratio and forcing LinkedIn to crop.
