LinkedIn Cover Banner Size
1584 × 396px · 4:1
1584 × 396px (4:1) — here's exactly how it crops, and where not to put your logo.
- Recommended size
- 1584 × 396px
- Aspect ratio
- 4:1
- File types
- JPG, PNG
- Max file size
- 8MB
How it crops
Your profile photo overlaps the banner's bottom-left corner as a circle — keep logos and text out of that quarter of the frame.
LinkedIn's mobile app shows a narrower slice of the same image than desktop does — keeping key content within the center 50–60% of the width holds up on both.
Common mistakes
- Uploading a square logo and letting LinkedIn stretch or crop it into the 4:1 frame, instead of designing at the right ratio to begin with.
- Placing a logo or call-to-action in the bottom-left, where it collides with the profile photo circle.
FAQ
Can I use a GIF, or does it need to be static?
Static only — LinkedIn accepts JPG or PNG for banners, no animated GIFs.
What if my image is smaller than 1584 × 396px?
LinkedIn will stretch it to fit, which usually looks soft — start at the full recommended size for a sharp result.
