What is the correct LinkedIn profile picture size?

LinkedIn recommends a square profile photo of 400 by 400 pixels, accepting anything from 400 by 400 up to 7680 by 4320. The photo is displayed inside a circle, so keep your face centred and leave breathing room at the corners.

What size should a LinkedIn banner be?

A personal profile background banner is 1584 by 396 pixels, a 4:1 aspect ratio. The lower-left corner is covered by your profile photo on desktop, so keep important text and logos toward the upper-right of the image.

Does LinkedIn crop my profile photo into a circle?

Yes. Although you upload a square image, LinkedIn masks it to a circle in most views. Anything in the four corners of your square will be hidden, so centre your subject and avoid placing text at the edges.

What is the maximum file size for LinkedIn images?

Profile photos and background banners accept files up to 8 MB. Company page logos and covers also cap at 8 MB. Use PNG for logos and graphics with text, and JPG for photographs, to stay well under the limit.

What is the LinkedIn company page cover size?

A company or organisation page cover image is 1128 by 191 pixels. The company logo is 300 by 300 pixels and is shown as a square. Keep both crisp by exporting at exactly these dimensions or an even multiple of them.

LinkedIn silently crops, scales, and masks every image you upload, so a banner that looks perfect in your editor can lose its logo behind a profile circle once it goes live. This tool gives you the exact pixel dimensions, aspect ratio, and safe-zone notes for every LinkedIn image slot so your first upload is the right one.

How it works

Each LinkedIn image slot has a fixed display container and a recommended export size. The tool stores the official figures and returns them per slot:

profile photo   = 400 × 400   (1:1, circle-masked)
profile banner  = 1584 × 396  (4:1, lower-left hidden by photo)
company logo    = 300 × 300   (1:1, square)
company cover   = 1128 × 191  (≈5.9:1)

The aspect ratio is simply width ÷ height reduced to its simplest whole-number form, which tells you how to set your canvas before you start designing.

Tips and safe zones

Always design at the largest recommended size and let LinkedIn downscale — it sharpens better than upscaling a small file. On a personal banner, keep logos and text in the upper-right two-thirds, because your circular profile photo overlaps the lower-left on desktop. For the profile photo itself, treat the corners as disposable: anything outside the central circle will be cropped away in feed and search results.
