Free LinkedIn Image Resizer & Size Guide: Correct Sizes for Every Placement

There is no single image size for LinkedIn. A personal profile cover, LinkedIn Page cover, logo, URL-post preview and Career Page module each have different dimensions and file limits. Choose the destination first, then crop or resize the image to fit it without stretching.

LinkedIn image sizes at a glance

Placement Recommended or required dimensions Format and file limit Important caveat
Personal profile photo 400 × 400 px minimum; maximum image dimensions 7680 × 4320 px PNG or JPG; maximum 8 MB Choose an image that does not need extensive cropping. LinkedIn does not support GIF uploads for profile photos. LinkedIn profile photo guidance
Personal profile cover/background 1584 × 396 px recommended JPG or PNG; less than 8 MB Appearance can vary with browser-window size and screen resolution. LinkedIn profile cover guidance
LinkedIn Page logo 268 × 268 px minimum; 400 × 400 px recommended PNG or JPEG; up to 3 MB Transparent logos display against a white background. LinkedIn Page image requirements
LinkedIn Page cover 4200 × 700 px PNG or JPEG; up to 3 MB Different screens may crop or adjust the image; keep key content away from the edges, especially the lower-right. LinkedIn Page image requirements and LinkedIn cover image guidance
Career Page Life main image 1128 × 376 px PNG or JPEG; up to 3 MB Life tab modules require a Career Page. LinkedIn Page image requirements and LinkedIn Career Pages
Career Page custom module 502 × 282 px PNG or JPEG; up to 3 MB Life tab modules require a Career Page. LinkedIn Page image requirements and LinkedIn Career Pages
Career Page company photos 900 × 600 px recommended; 264 × 176 px minimum PNG or JPEG; up to 3 MB Photos can be opened larger; using only the minimum may make them appear small. LinkedIn Page image requirements
Custom image on a Page post with a URL 1200 × 627 px; 1.91:1 aspect ratio Not stated in the cited URL-post guidance An image must be more than 200 px wide to avoid the left-thumbnail treatment. This guidance applies to custom URL-post images, not every kind of LinkedIn post. LinkedIn URL-post image guidance

These are placement-specific recommendations and requirements, not a universal LinkedIn image preset. LinkedIn may update them, so check the relevant Help page if an upload behaves differently.

How to resize an image for LinkedIn

  1. Identify the destination. Decide whether the image is for a personal profile, a LinkedIn Page, a URL preview or a Career Page module. Do not use the 1200 × 627 px URL-preview recommendation for every feed post.
  2. Set the target dimensions and crop. Use the matching row above. Preserve the original file, crop to the target aspect ratio, and avoid stretching the image to fill the canvas; stretching distorts faces, logos and text.
  3. Keep important content in a safe area. For covers, place faces, logos and text near the center rather than at the edges. LinkedIn warns that covers can be adjusted for different screens and calls particular attention to the lower-right corner. LinkedIn cover image guidance
  4. Export in an accepted format and respect the correct limit. Use PNG or JPG/JPEG as specified for the placement. Personal profile uploads have an 8 MB maximum; Page images have a 3 MB maximum. A smaller file size does not fix the wrong crop or aspect ratio.
  5. Upload and preview. LinkedIn provides crop, filter, position, size and rotation controls for personal profile covers. Check the result at the sizes and screens that matter to you; the displayed crop can vary with window size and resolution. LinkedIn profile cover guidance and LinkedIn cover editing guidance

Why a LinkedIn image looks blurry or cropped

The image is the wrong shape

A tall or square source image forced into a wide cover or URL-preview slot may lose content at the edges. Crop deliberately to the intended ratio, then preview. For covers, keep essential text and faces well inside the central area, particularly away from the lower-right.

The image is being adjusted for the screen

LinkedIn says cover images may be adjusted or cropped to fit different screens. Personal cover appearance can also change with browser-window size and screen resolution, so one preview is not a guarantee of identical framing everywhere.

The file is low quality or over-compressed

LinkedIn recommends high-quality JPEG for Page image resolution. If a Page cover remains blurry or pixelated, its guidance suggests choosing an image with a larger file size and considering compression utilities; it names Trimage for Windows and ImageOptim for Mac as examples, not required or endorsed products. LinkedIn Page image requirements and LinkedIn cover guidance

The file exceeds the placement limit

Check the limit for the destination rather than assuming every LinkedIn upload allows 8 MB. Profile photos and covers allow up to 8 MB under the cited guidance, while Page images are limited to 3 MB. If a file is too large, compression can help meet the limit, but it cannot correct unsuitable dimensions.

Special cases: URL posts and Career Pages

Page post with a URL

For a custom image accompanying a Page post with a URL, LinkedIn specifies 1200 × 627 px at 1.91:1. An image more than 200 px wide avoids the left-thumbnail treatment. This is URL-post guidance; LinkedIn’s cited material does not establish one universal recommended size for all organic image-only feed posts, so do not treat 1200 × 627 px as their standard.

Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

Career Page modules

The Life tab’s main image, custom modules and company photos have their own dimensions. These modules require a Career Page, so the specifications apply only to Pages with that feature—not every company Page. LinkedIn Career Pages
