LinkedIn banner size: 1584 × 396 px (4:1)
The personal LinkedIn banner is 1584 × 396 pixels, a 4:1 ratio. Two things decide whether it looks right. First, your profile picture overlaps the lower left corner, so whatever sits there disappears behind it – the safe-zone guides mark exactly that area before you export. Second, LinkedIn crops the banner differently on phones than on desktop: the outer edges are the first to go.
Place your face, your claim or your contact details in the upper middle and treat the left quarter as decoration only. The image is displayed at 1584 pixels wide, which is more than most screens show, so detail survives – but keep lettering reasonably large, because LinkedIn still compresses the file for delivery to mobile. PNG keeps sharp type; JPEG suits photographic banners.
Because the banner is often the first thing a visitor sees, most people also want the matching post image: the LinkedIn post tool crops the feed image at 1200 × 1200 and shows where your caption text gets cut off. For a business account, the company page cover needs 1512 × 256 pixels instead, and the link preview uses 1200 × 627 for the card that appears under a shared link.
Good to know
Company pages use a different size (1512 × 256) – many German-language guides still quote outdated values here.
