Generate a LinkedIn Banner from a Photo with AI
The default grey LinkedIn banner is the most common design decision on the platform, and it's not a decision.
A LinkedIn banner is a wide strip behind your profile photo, and most people leave it as the default grey. It is prime space on the page people land on when they are deciding whether to reply to you, and filling it well takes about two minutes.
What makes a banner work
Restraint. It sits behind your name, your headline and your profile photo, so anything busy competes with the text that actually matters. A calm image with a clear focal point away from the left side reads far better than a collage.
Mind the overlap
Your profile photo covers part of the lower left on desktop, and the crop shifts on mobile. Keep that corner quiet. Anything you want seen — a logo, a tagline, a focal point — belongs to the right of centre.
Then crop to spec
LinkedIn's banner is about 1584×396. After generating, crop to that wide shape so you choose what gets cut, then resize the width to 1584 with the ratio locked. Both tools are free and run in your browser.

Still on the default grey? Upload your photo, pick a style, and the result comes back on the page — no app to install and no watermark on what you download.
The AI apps run on credits rather than a subscription: packs start at ₹166, each generation costs 2 credits, and credits never expire — there is nothing recurring to cancel. The browser tools (crop, resize, compress, convert, blur, QR) stay free and unlimited and need no account at all.
