What the table does not tell you
- Your profile photo sits over the bottom left of a personal banner on desktop and centre-left on mobile. Keep that corner empty or the two collide.
- Personal profiles and company pages need two different files. The company cover is documented at 1512 x 256, so a 1584 x 396 profile banner dropped onto a Page crops badly.
- LinkedIn crops the banner's height on mobile more than on desktop. Centre your message vertically rather than anchoring it to the top or bottom edge.
- This is the one banner where plain text works. A legible value proposition outperforms a stock photograph, because the banner sits directly above the headline people are already reading.
Stop resizing the same asset five times
Crowbert formats one upload for every platform it publishes to, so a single profile banner goes out at the right dimensions everywhere without a round trip through a design tool.
Common questions
What size is a LinkedIn banner?
1584 x 396 pixels at 4:1 by convention. Worth knowing that LinkedIn does not publish this figure in its help centre, unlike the company page cover, which it documents at 1512 x 256.
Is the LinkedIn company page cover the same size?
No. LinkedIn documents the company page cover at 1512 x 256, in PNG or JPEG up to 3 MB. It is a much wider ratio and the personal profile file will not fit it cleanly.
Where does the profile picture sit on a LinkedIn banner?
Bottom left on desktop, shifted towards the centre-left on mobile. Treat roughly the left fifth of the banner as occupied space.
