LinkedIn Banner Size
The LinkedIn profile background photo (banner) is 1584 × 396 px at a 4:1 aspect ratio. It appears behind your profile photo in the top section of your LinkedIn profile. On desktop, the profile picture overlaps the lower-left corner — avoid placing logos or critical text in that zone.

Design Tips
- →The profile photo overlaps the left side of the banner on desktop — keep any important text or branding to the right of 350 px from the left edge.
- →LinkedIn compresses banner images on upload. Export as JPG at 95%+ quality, or PNG for graphics with text, to minimise visible compression artefacts.
- →For company pages, the banner is displayed at 1128 × 191 px — a different ratio than personal profiles. Check which page type you're designing for before starting.
- →Horizontal text and wide horizontal compositions work best in this 4:1 format — tall elements or portrait photography will be heavily cropped.

What is the LinkedIn banner size?+
The LinkedIn personal profile banner (background photo) is 1584 × 396 pixels with a 4:1 aspect ratio. Company page banners are a different size: 1128 × 191 px. Keep important content away from the left edge — your profile photo overlaps the lower-left corner on desktop view.
What are LinkedIn banner dimensions in 2026?+
Personal profile banner: 1584 × 396 px (4:1). Company page banner: 1128 × 191 px. LinkedIn recommends uploading at the exact pixel dimensions — the image isn't resized up, so smaller images will appear blurry if the browser stretches them.
What format should a LinkedIn banner be?+
LinkedIn accepts JPG and PNG. Maximum file size is 8 MB. For banners with text or logos, PNG preserves sharpness better than JPG compression. For photographic banners, JPG at high quality (90%+) is fine.
Why is my LinkedIn banner cropped on mobile?+
LinkedIn crops the 1584 × 396 px banner shorter on the mobile app and shifts the profile photo position. Keep the essential content in the horizontal centre and away from all four edges rather than anchoring a logo to one corner.
What is the difference between a LinkedIn profile banner and a company page banner?+
Personal profile banners are 1584 × 396 px (4:1). Company page banners are 1128 × 191 px — a different size and a different ratio. Reusing a profile banner on a company page results in a stretched, badly cropped image.
