LinkedIn Feed Image Optimization for Professionals
LinkedIn's desktop feed highlights landscape visual assets formatted at 1200 × 627 px (1.91:1 ratio). When linking to articles or case studies, this exact proportion generates crisp social graph preview cards. If your graphics contain infographics, ensure font sizes remain at least 16px relative to the 1200px width so mobile users can read without zooming.
Profile Banner Safe Zone and Headshot Overlap
On personal LinkedIn profile banners (1584 × 396 px), your circular profile photo overlaps the bottom-left area of the cover banner on desktop and mobile. To prevent your face from obscuring contact info or taglines, keep all text and contact details aligned to the right-hand two-thirds of the banner canvas.

Frequently asked questions
What is the official size for a LinkedIn post image?
LinkedIn officially recommends 1200 × 627 pixels (1.91:1 ratio) for feed link posts and single images. Square images at 1200 × 1200 pixels are also supported and render well on mobile devices.
What dimensions should I use for my LinkedIn profile banner?
For personal profiles, use 1584 × 396 pixels (4:1 aspect ratio) with a file size under 8 MB. For company pages, LinkedIn recommends 1128 × 191 pixels.
Why do vertical photos get cropped on desktop LinkedIn?
Desktop LinkedIn caps post height in the feed. Taller images (like 4:5 or 9:16) get cropped with gray letterboxing. Using 1200 × 627 px or 1200 × 1200 px avoids unwanted desktop cropping.
Can I compress my LinkedIn banner to under 8 MB?
Yes. This tool automatically outputs compact, crisp JPEGs well within LinkedIn's 8 MB ceiling. For advanced size tuning, our /tools/image-compressor tool lets you lock in any exact target KB.
