How to use LinkedIn Banner Maker
Upload your image
JPG, PNG or WEBP. If the asset is going to be cropped several ways, start from the widest, highest-resolution version you have.
Choose the platform and shape
Square, portrait, wide, circle-safe, bold or minimal. The choice sets the ratio and where the subject sits inside it.
Download and post
Correct dimensions, full resolution, no watermark. It uploads without the platform re-cropping it for you.
Why use LinkedIn Banner Maker
What LinkedIn Banner Maker does
Wide cover art that isn't a stock photo.
Consistent across a profile
Avatar, banner and post images that read as one identity instead of three unrelated pictures.
One source, every shape
Generate square, portrait, wide and circular versions from a single upload.
Full resolution
Enough resolution that the platform's own compression does not visibly degrade it.
Correct dimensions per platform
The right ratio and pixel size, so the platform does not recompress and re-crop the image on upload.
Circle-safe composition
Avatars are masked to circles almost everywhere. Composing for that keeps the head centred and the corners expendable.
What LinkedIn Banner Maker changes
Create a wide professional LinkedIn banner photograph: the person on the left side, framed from the waist up, standing confidently on a rooftop terrace beside a modern glass building, dressed in a navy blazer over a white open-collar shirt. A city skyline stretches behind them at golden hour, and the right side of the frame is left as open sky for text. Warm, natural sunset light and a crisp, premium finish. Unless text is given below, add no text. Preserve the same person's recognizable identity from the uploaded reference: face shape, forehead, cheekbones, jawline, eye shape and spacing, eyebrows, nose, lips, natural asymmetry, age appearance, skin tone and distinctive features. Do not replace them with a generic AI face or beautify/idealize their features. Keep natural skin texture and pores; avoid waxy smoothing, exaggerated eyes, reshaped facial features and artificial symmetry. Change only what the app's requested transformation requires. For photographic results, use realistic camera detail: natural skin texture and pores, believable eyes and hair strands, coherent lighting and shadows, correct anatomy and perspective, and matching sharpness across face, neck and body. Avoid waxy skin, over-retouching, distorted features, face-morphing and pasted-on faces. If the app intentionally creates artwork, render the requested medium consistently across the whole image instead of forcing photorealism.
Your face, bone structure and skin tone are held fixed on every generation — only what is described above is changed.
LinkedIn Banner Maker for every slot a profile has
A profile is a set of images with different jobs. Each one is cropped, masked and overlaid differently.
Banners and cover images
Wide, composed around the elements the platform lays over them.
Feed posts
Square and 4:5, which is the ratio that occupies the most vertical space in most feeds.
Stories and reels covers
9:16 with the top and bottom left clear of interface chrome.
Thumbnails
High contrast, one clear focal point, and space for a short piece of large text.

Benefits
No subscription needed
Buy a one-time pack whose credits never expire, or go monthly for the lowest price per credit and cancel any time.
Three models to choose from
Nano Banana Pro, GPT Image and Seedream 4.5 handle the same job differently. If one result is not right, another model often is.
Every aspect ratio
Square, 4:5, 9:16, 16:9 and more, chosen before generating so nothing important gets cropped away afterwards.
Full resolution, no watermark
The download is the full generated image with nothing overlaid — usable in print, in a listing or commercially.
The free tools stay free
Compress, convert, crop, resize, rotate and the rest are unlimited, with no account and no credit cost.
What people use it for
What it is mainly used for
Wide cover art that isn't a stock photo. Set the options to suit you, and download the result at full resolution with no watermark.
Ad creative variants
Several ratios and crops of one concept, for testing across placements.
Team and community profiles
Consistent avatars across a group, which makes a community look organised.
Seasonal profile refreshes
A quick restyle for a campaign or a holiday, without redesigning anything.
A new profile photo across every platform
One portrait, composed correctly for a circular avatar, a square post and a wide banner.
Prompt ideas
Say where the subject should sit and where the text is going. Social composition is mostly about reserving space, and a prompt that does not mention the text is the reason the headline ends up over someone's face.
Name the platform and slot
"YouTube thumbnail" or "LinkedIn banner" carries a whole set of conventions in two words.
Say where the subject goes
"Subject on the left third, empty space on the right" is the single most useful instruction for anything with text on it.
Mention the circular crop
"Composed for a circular avatar, head centred, nothing important in the corners".
Reserve the text area
"Leave the upper third clear for a headline" — otherwise there is nowhere for the type to go.
Ask for thumbnail legibility
"High contrast, readable at 100 pixels wide", because that is the size most people will first see it.
Set the ratio explicitly
"9:16 vertical" or "1200x630". Pick it before generating; cropping afterwards loses part of the frame.
More about LinkedIn Banner Maker
Every platform crops differently, and each one crops in a way that is easy to forget until it has already happened. A rectangular avatar masked into a circle loses the top of someone's head. A cover photo has a profile picture sitting over one corner. LinkedIn Banner Maker composes for the shape the image will actually appear in.
The size that matters is the smallest one. Most feed images are seen first at a couple of hundred pixels, and many at forty. Anything depending on fine detail or low contrast simply disappears at that scale, which is why the strongest social images are almost always the simplest.
The most common mistake is generating a beautiful full-bleed image and then discovering there is nowhere to put the headline. Reserving the empty space before generating, rather than hunting for it afterwards, is the whole trick.
Getting the best result from LinkedIn Banner Maker
- Choose the aspect ratio before generating rather than cropping afterwards.
- If one model ignores part of your instruction, switch to the other and run it again.
- Keep the original file. It is a better base for the next attempt than a generated image is.
- For a matching set, keep the same source photo and style and change only one variable.
- Nothing you upload is published, shared or added to a gallery — but do not upload anything you would not want to leave your device at all.
- The free on-device tools — compress, convert, crop, resize, rotate — cost no credits, so use them for mechanical work.
- If a result is nearly right, say what is wrong with it in the next run rather than starting over.
- Start from the widest, highest-resolution source you have if the asset will be cropped several ways.
