About this tool

What LinkedIn recommends

1584×396 pixels, as a JPG or PNG file under 8 MB.

LinkedIn’s help article on adding or changing the background photo on your profile gives these figures: a JPG or PNG file, under 8 MB, with recommended dimensions of 1584 (width) by 396 (height) pixels. It adds that how the image appears may change with the size of your browser window and screen resolution, and that the background appears behind your profile photo in the introduction section. 1584 divided by 396 is exactly 4, so the frame is 4:1. Source: LinkedIn Help, add or change the background photo on your profile. Checked against the platform’s own help page on 6 October 2026.

A wide strip takes a thin slice of a photo

At 4:1 most photos lose well over half their height, so the choice of band matters.

A 16:9 photo keeps about 44% of its height in a 1584×396 frame, a 3:2 photo about 38%, and a 4:3 photo about 33%. Those are arithmetic from the shapes, and the page shows the exact figure for your picture. Slide the crop to the band that has your subject or pattern, and prefer a wide source to start with, such as a panorama or a wide office shot. A source narrower than 1584 pixels is enlarged, which cannot add detail.

Leave room for the profile photo

The profile photo sits over the banner, so keep important detail clear of that area.

LinkedIn does not publish an exact position or size for the overlap in the help article, and it varies by screen. Rather than draw a guess, this page leaves the guide off. Keep faces, logos and text away from the lower left of the frame, then check how the banner looks on your own profile after you upload it.

JPG or PNG only

LinkedIn accepts JPG and PNG for this photo, so the tool writes one of those two.

JPEG is smaller and suits photographs; PNG keeps sharp text and logos. A source in another format, such as WebP or HEIC, is written as JPEG unless you choose PNG. If the file is larger than you want, Image Compressor will reduce it.

FAQ

What size does LinkedIn recommend?

LinkedIn’s help page for the profile background photo recommends 1584 pixels wide by 396 pixels tall, as a JPG or PNG file under 8 MB.

Will my profile photo cover part of the banner?

Yes. LinkedIn says the background image appears behind your profile photo in the introduction section, and that how it looks can change with your browser window size and screen resolution.

Is this for a company page?

No. The figures are from LinkedIn’s help article on a personal profile’s background photo. Company page banners are a different spec that this page does not cover.

Why did my WebP or HEIC photo come out as JPEG?

LinkedIn accepts only JPG and PNG, so a source in another format is written as JPEG unless you choose PNG.

Is my image uploaded?

No. The resize happens in your browser.
