Why LinkedIn Image Sizes Matter
LinkedIn's feed is primarily viewed on desktop, which makes it different from every other major social platform. Images that look great on mobile may appear letterboxed or cropped on desktop if they're the wrong size. LinkedIn also compresses images aggressively — uploading at the correct resolution minimizes compression artifacts.
LinkedIn Image Formats Explained
LinkedIn Post Images (1200 × 627 px) are the standard format for feed posts. The 1.91:1 ratio displays cleanly on desktop and mobile.
LinkedIn Profile Photo (400 × 400 px) displays as a circle. Use a tight headshot with your face centered.
LinkedIn Banner (1584 × 396 px) is the background image behind your profile photo — your largest branding surface on LinkedIn.
How to Resize Images for LinkedIn
- Use a 1200 × 627 px image for all standard feed posts.
- Export as JPG for photos and WEBP for web-optimized graphics.
- Crop profile photos to a tight square — LinkedIn circle-crops automatically.
- Use Gitsize to resize instantly in your browser.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Uploading a banner smaller than 1584 × 396 px — LinkedIn upscales and blurs it.
- Putting the CTA text at the edges of your banner — mobile crops both sides.
- Using a busy profile photo — it circle-crops and appears tiny in every comment.
