Resize an Image for LinkedIn (Free Presets)
LinkedIn crops banners aggressively and downscales oversized posts. Matching its recommended dimensions — 1584×396 for the banner, 1200×627 for shared images — keeps your profile looking polished. Our Resize Image tool includes these presets out of the box.

Open Resize Image for LinkedInThe LinkedIn sizes worth memorizing
- - Personal profile banner: 1584×396.
- - Company banner: 1128×191 (desktop).
- - Shared image/card in feed: 1200×627.
- - Profile photo: displayed at 400×400 (square, face centered).
The banner is the pickiest: LinkedIn shows a wide, short crop and slices the sides on mobile. Keep your name and value proposition in the center third.
How to resize for LinkedIn
- Open the Resize Image tool.
- Upload your image.
- Pick the LinkedIn preset you need.
- Download and update your profile or post.
For a banner, start from a wide 16:9 source and let the preset crop to 1584×396 — then add your headline into the safe center area.
Why this matters for recruiters
A crisp banner and centered profile photo read as professional instantly. Shared posts resized to 1200×627 render fully in the feed instead of being truncated or blurred by compression.
LinkedIn crops: banner, headshot and posts
Three placements, three geometries. The profile headshot displays as a 400x400 circle from a square upload; the personal banner renders at 1584x396 on desktop and is cropped taller on mobile, with your avatar overlapping the lower left; post images display at 1200x627 for link previews and native ratios otherwise. The banner is where most uploads fail - text laid out for desktop disappears behind the profile card on phones.
Design rules that hold across all three: keep faces in the center third for the circular crop, keep banner text within a centered safe area of about 1200x300, and export at 2x the display size (800x800 for the headshot) so the image stays sharp on high-density screens. LinkedIn recompresses uploads, so start from a clean export rather than a file that already went through two editors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does LinkedIn cut my banner on mobile?
Mobile shows a narrower view of the banner. Centering important content within the middle third of 1584×396 keeps it visible everywhere.
What size should my LinkedIn profile photo be?
A roughly 400×400 square with your face centered and some headroom. Larger squares get downscaled cleanly.
Does the tool keep my image format?
Yes — resizing preserves the original format and any transparency.
