The LinkedIn profile banner — the large background image behind your profile photo — is prime visual real estate on one of the world's most professional networks. Using the correct dimensions and a well-designed banner signals professionalism and reinforces your personal brand.
LinkedIn Banner Size Specifications
LinkedIn profile banners should be 1584×396 pixels (4:1 aspect ratio). LinkedIn scales this image across devices, so uploading at exactly 1584×396px ensures the best result. The maximum file size is 8MB and accepted formats are JPG and PNG.

How to Crop for LinkedIn Banner
Upload your banner design to imgresizr.com. Use the Crop tool and manually enter a 4:1 ratio, or set fixed dimensions of 1584×396. Keep important content away from the left side — your profile picture overlaps the bottom-left corner. Resize to 1584×396 pixels and download as PNG.
LinkedIn Banner Ideas
- Your professional tagline or value proposition in large, readable text
- Industry imagery that represents your field (finance, tech, healthcare, etc.)
- Your company's branding if you are representing an organisation
- A gradient or abstract design in your personal brand colours
- A pattern or texture that works as a clean backdrop
Design Tips
- Avoid placing important content on the bottom-left — your profile photo sits there on desktop
- On mobile, LinkedIn crops the banner to a different ratio — test mobile view before finalising
- Keep text at 30pt or larger to remain readable at banner scale
