LinkedIn Banner Size: The Right Dimensions for Your Profile and Company Page
The LinkedIn personal profile banner is 1584 × 396 pixels, and the Company Page cover image is 1128 × 191 pixels — both roughly a 4:1 width-to-height ratio. Upload anything smaller and LinkedIn stretches it, which is where most banners end up blurry.
Personal profile banner
| Spec | Value |
|---|---|
| Recommended size | 1584 × 396 px |
| Minimum size | 1128 × 282 px |
| Aspect ratio | 4:1 |
| File types | JPG, PNG, GIF (no animation) |
| Max file size | 8 MB |
Your profile photo sits on top of the left side of this banner, so keep any text or logo on the right two-thirds — LinkedIn's own crop preview shows the overlap, but it's easy to miss on a first upload.
Company Page cover image
| Spec | Value |
|---|---|
| Recommended size | 1128 × 191 px |
| Aspect ratio | ~6:1 |
| File types | JPG, PNG, GIF |
| Max file size | 8 MB |
The company logo overlaps the bottom-left corner of the cover image on desktop, and the whole banner is cropped more aggressively on mobile — leave generous margin on all sides rather than placing text near any edge.
Why banners come out blurry
Two causes cover almost every case: uploading below the minimum resolution (LinkedIn upscales it, which blurs it), or uploading a file that's the right pixel count but the wrong aspect ratio (LinkedIn's crop tool then either zooms in or letterboxes it). Export at the exact recommended dimensions above rather than "close enough," and check the crop preview before saving — it shows exactly what visitors will see on both desktop and mobile.
Safe zones, in practice
- Keep any text at least 40px from every edge.
- Don't place important content directly behind where your profile photo sits (left side, personal profiles) or your logo (bottom-left, Company Pages).
- Preview on mobile before publishing — LinkedIn's mobile app crops the banner differently than desktop, cutting more from the top and bottom.
Frequently asked questions
What is the LinkedIn banner size? 1584 × 396 pixels for a personal profile, 1128 × 191 pixels for a Company Page cover image. Both are roughly 4:1, so a template built for one won't quite fit the other.
What is LinkedIn profile banner size? Specifically for personal profiles (not Company Pages): 1584 × 396 pixels, minimum 1128 × 282 pixels, uploaded as JPG, PNG, or a static GIF under 8 MB.
Once your banner is sized right, the text in your headline and About section is the next thing worth getting right — the LinkedIn Text Formatter turns plain text into bold or italic Unicode characters that paste directly into either field.
