LinkedIn Feed Post Size
LinkedIn feed images display at 1200 × 627 px with a 1.91:1 aspect ratio. This is the same ratio used for link preview cards when sharing URLs. Square posts (1080 × 1080 px at 1:1) are also supported and have become increasingly popular for branded content that needs to stand out in a horizontal feed.

Design Tips
- →LinkedIn also supports square posts (1080 × 1080 px, 1:1) — square images tend to stand out more in the horizontal-dominant LinkedIn feed.
- →Use high-contrast text on images — LinkedIn's feed background is white. Text over busy photos can be hard to read; add a semi-transparent overlay if needed.
- →Document posts (PDF carousels) on LinkedIn display at approximately 1080 × 1350 px when viewed — design PDFs with portrait 4:5 proportions for these.
- →Alt text on LinkedIn images is now indexed by the platform — add descriptive alt text when uploading for both accessibility and reach.

What is the LinkedIn post image size?+
LinkedIn feed image posts display at 1200 × 627 px (1.91:1 ratio). Square images (1080 × 1080 px, 1:1) are also well-supported and often show more prominently in the feed. Avoid portrait images narrower than 1:1 — they may be cropped or displayed with empty space.
What ratio is a LinkedIn post image?+
1.91:1 landscape at 1200 × 627 px is the standard for link previews and feed images. LinkedIn also supports 1:1 square (1200 × 1200 px) and 4:5 portrait (1080 × 1350 px), both of which take more vertical space in the feed than the landscape default.
What is the best image size for a LinkedIn post?+
1200 × 627 px for a link-style post. If you are uploading an image directly rather than sharing a URL, square at 1200 × 1200 px generally performs better — it occupies roughly twice the feed height at the same width.
Does LinkedIn compress post images?+
Yes. Upload PNG for graphics containing text or flat colour and JPG at 90%+ quality for photographs. LinkedIn's recompression is noticeably harsh on small text, which is why screenshots of documents often look muddy in the feed.
What size are LinkedIn link preview images?+
1200 × 627 px, pulled from the destination page's og:image meta tag rather than uploaded with the post. If a shared link shows the wrong image or none at all, the fix is on the destination page's Open Graph tags, not in LinkedIn.
