LinkedIn Banner Size: The Right Dimensions for Your Profile and Company Page
The LinkedIn personal profile banner is 1584 × 396 pixels, and the Company Page cover image is 1128 × 191 pixels — both roughly a 4:1 width-to-height ratio. Upload anything smaller and LinkedIn stretches it, which is where most banners end up blurry.

Personal profile banner
| Spec | Value |
|---|---|
| Recommended size | 1584 × 396 px |
| Minimum size | 1128 × 282 px |
| Aspect ratio | 4:1 |
| File types | JPG, PNG, GIF (no animation) |
| Max file size | 8 MB |
Your profile photo sits on top of the left side of this banner, so keep any text or logo on the right two-thirds — LinkedIn's own crop preview shows the overlap, but it's easy to miss on a first upload.
Company Page cover image
| Spec | Value |
|---|---|
| Recommended size | 1128 × 191 px |
| Aspect ratio | ~6:1 |
| File types | JPG, PNG, GIF |
| Max file size | 8 MB |
The company logo overlaps the bottom-left corner of the cover image on desktop, and the whole banner is cropped more aggressively on mobile — leave generous margin on all sides rather than placing text near any edge.
Why banners come out blurry
Two causes cover almost every case: uploading below the minimum resolution (LinkedIn upscales it, which blurs it), or uploading a file that's the right pixel count but the wrong aspect ratio (LinkedIn's crop tool then either zooms in or letterboxes it). Export at the exact recommended dimensions above rather than "close enough," and check the crop preview before saving — it shows exactly what visitors will see on both desktop and mobile.
Safe zones, in practice
- Keep any text at least 40px from every edge.
- Don't place important content directly behind where your profile photo sits (left side, personal profiles) or your logo (bottom-left, Company Pages).
- Preview on mobile before publishing — LinkedIn's mobile app crops the banner differently than desktop, cutting more from the top and bottom.
Fit your banner to the exact size, automatically
Upload the image you're about to use and it's resized to LinkedIn's exact pixel size the moment it loads. Drag it to reposition, zoom in to crop tighter, or zoom out to see the whole image — empty edges are auto-filled with a blurred version of it so there's never a blank bar. It also flags where your profile photo or logo will land on top of it, and warns you if you've zoomed in past your source image's native resolution. Nothing leaves your browser; everything happens locally and the file downloads straight to your device.
LinkedIn article and newsletter cover images
Different from your profile or Company Page banner — this is the cover photo on a published Article or a Newsletter edition.
| Spec | Value |
|---|---|
| Recommended size | 1920 × 1080 px |
| Aspect ratio | 16:9 |
| Applies to | Article cover photo and each Newsletter edition's cover photo |
LinkedIn crops both to the same 16:9 frame, so one image works for either format. Keep any text centered — the sides are the first thing trimmed on narrower layouts.
LinkedIn ad image sizes
If you're boosting a post or running Sponsored Content, the image specs are different from an organic banner:
| Format | Recommended | Min – max | Ratio |
|---|---|---|---|
| Horizontal | 1200 × 628 px | 640×360 – 7680×4320 px | 1.91:1 |
| Square | 1200 × 1200 px | 360×360 – 4320×4320 px | 1:1 |
| Vertical | 720 × 900 px | 360×640 – 2430×4320 px | 4:5 |
Max file size is 5 MB (JPG, PNG, or GIF — animated GIFs capped at 250 frames). LinkedIn recommends vertical or square over horizontal for mobile feeds, since 1.91:1 images often run with borders on narrow screens.
Frequently asked questions
What is the LinkedIn banner size? 1584 × 396 pixels for a personal profile, 1128 × 191 pixels for a Company Page cover image. Both are roughly 4:1, so a template built for one won't quite fit the other.
What is LinkedIn profile banner size? Specifically for personal profiles (not Company Pages): 1584 × 396 pixels, minimum 1128 × 282 pixels, uploaded as JPG, PNG, or a static GIF under 8 MB.
Once your banner is sized right, your profile picture and the text in your headline and About section are the next things worth getting right — the LinkedIn Text Formatter turns plain text into bold or italic Unicode characters that paste directly into either field.
