LinkedIn image guide
LinkedIn image sizes for profiles, Pages, posts, and links
LinkedIn has no single 'banner size.' A personal background, company Page cover, ordinary photo post, and website link preview are separate placements.

LinkedIn placement sizes
| Placement | Pixels / range | Ratio | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Personal profile photo | At least 400 × 400 | 1:1 | Displayed in a circular treatment in many contexts |
| Personal background | 1584 × 396 | 4:1 | Recommended personal profile asset |
| Page logo | 400 × 400 | 1:1 | Company Page identity |
| Page cover | 4200 × 700 | 6:1 | Company Page, not a personal banner |
| Photo post | 1080 px wide recommended | 3:1 to 4:5 | Ordinary uploaded photo |
| Website link preview | 1200 × 627 | 1.91:1 | Open Graph / shared URL preview |
Photo post versus link preview
An uploaded photo is the post media itself and can use ratios from 3:1 through 4:5. A link preview is generated from a URL and uses a 1.91:1 frame; LinkedIn documents 1200 × 627 for that image.
Personal and company covers are also different. A 1584 × 396 personal background should not be stretched into a 4200 × 700 Page cover because the ratio and profile overlays differ.
Identify the exact placement
Decide whether the asset belongs to a personal profile, company Page, photo post, or shared link before choosing dimensions.
Create separate crops
Use Social Media Image Toolkit to frame photo posts and covers independently from the same source.

LinkedIn can crop or overlay profile elements differently, so confirm the final preview on both surfaces.
Is 1200 × 627 the LinkedIn feed image size?
It is specifically documented for link previews. Ordinary photo posts support a wider aspect-ratio range, so calling every feed asset 1200 × 627 is misleading.
Why does my background crop after using the recommended size?
Recommended pixels do not guarantee identical display across screens. Keep logos and text near the central practical safe area and inspect the final profile or Page preview.
