LinkedIn Banner Size Guide (Profile & Company, 2026)

LinkedIn crops your banner and overlays your photo. Here's the right size, the safe area, and how to crop it — free.

Your LinkedIn banner is prime personal-branding space — but LinkedIn overlays your profile photo on the lower-left and crops the image differently across devices. Using the right size and safe area keeps your message clear. Here's the LinkedIn banner size guide, plus how to crop yours free.

The correct size

Upload a personal profile banner at 1584 × 396 pixels (4:1). For a company page, use 1128 × 191. Uploading at the exact ratio avoids awkward auto-cropping. Higher-resolution files at the same ratio stay crisp on retina screens.

Watch the profile-photo overlay

On profiles, your round profile photo sits over the lower-left of the banner, and mobile crops the edges. Keep important text and logos in the upper-right / centre, away from that corner, so nothing gets covered or cut.

How to crop your banner (free)

Step 1 — Open the crop tool at sjpt.io.

Step 3 — Crop to 1584×396 (profile) or 1128×191 (company), keeping key elements clear of the lower-left.

Step 4 — Download and upload to LinkedIn.

No watermark, no sign-up.

Design tips

Keep it clean and professional — a tagline, a brand colour, maybe a subtle pattern. High contrast so text reads small. Leave the lower-left clear. Preview on mobile after uploading.
