Recommended LinkedIn Banner Dimensions
Creating the perfect LinkedIn banner requires knowing the correct dimensions to ensure your banner displays properly and looks professional. LinkedIn recommends a banner image of 1584 × 396 pixels — a 4:1 aspect ratio.
| Profile Type | Dimensions | Max File Size | Format |
|---|---|---|---|
| LinkedIn Personal | 1584 × 396 px | 8 MB | JPG, PNG, GIF |
| LinkedIn Company | 1128 × 191 px | 4 MB | JPG, PNG |
Pro tip: Design at 2x (3168 × 792 px) then export at final size — retina displays will thank you.
Safe Zone Considerations
To ensure your content is visible across all devices, keep important elements within the safe zone:
- Safe Zone Width: ~1350px centered horizontally
- Safe Zone Height: ~230px vertically centered
- Your profile photo covers the bottom-left corner on mobile — avoid placing key content there
Common LinkedIn Banner Mistakes
- Using incorrect aspect ratio (causing unwanted stretching or cropping)
- Uploading low-resolution files (appears pixelated or blurry)
- Placing text or logos near edges (gets cut off on different devices)
- Ignoring mobile vs desktop display differences
- File size too large (slow loading or upload failures)
