LinkedIn banner size
The personal profile background image is 1584 × 396 pixels (4:1). Company pages use 1128 × 191. The editor starts with the personal size; use Resize → custom size for a company page.
Leave the lower left free. Your round profile photo covers part of the lower-left of the banner on desktop and the middle-left on mobile. Place text on the right half.
What to put on a LinkedIn banner
- Your value in one line: “I help small hotels get more direct bookings.”
- Your specialty or tools: a few keywords such as “UX research · Figma · Prototyping”.
- A call to action: your website, newsletter or “Open to new roles”.
- Brand colors: for company employees, matching the company’s colors looks polished.
Step by step
- Start from “Profile banner” or “Gradient headline”.
- Move the text to the right half of the canvas.
- Choose calm colors — LinkedIn is a professional space and simple banners age better.
- Download PNG and upload it on your profile with the pencil icon on the background image.
Common mistakes
- Text too small: the banner is shown smaller than its pixel size, so use at least 40 px text.
- Important text hidden behind the profile photo.
- Low-resolution stock photos that look blurry when stretched.
