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.

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.
