LinkedIn sizes
LinkedIn uses specific image dimensions for personal profiles, company pages, feed posts, carousels, articles, videos, ads, and events. The dimensions differ between personal and company pages — a common source of confusion — so check which type you need.
The most important sizes are 400×400px for profile pictures, 1584×396px for personal banners, 1200×627px for feed posts (or 1080×1350 for portrait), and 1080×1080px for carousel slides. Here are all the current specs.

Feed Post1200×627px
LinkedIn feed posts support multiple aspect ratios. The default landscape format is 1200×627 pixels (1.91:1), but portrait posts at 1080×1350 (4:5) take up more feed space on mobile. Square posts at 1200×1200 (1:1) are a versatile middle ground. All formats render natively in the LinkedIn feed.
LinkedIn does not publish a ranking advantage for one image size over another, but portrait posts (1080×1350, 4:5) take up significantly more screen space in the mobile feed. If you want a larger visual footprint while scrolling, portrait is the most noticeable option.

Best practices
- •Use 1080×1350px (4:5 portrait) if you want more visual space in the mobile feed than landscape.
- •For link shares, optimize your OG image at 1200×627px — this is the default link preview format on LinkedIn.
- •Single-image posts and PDF carousels give you the most control over cropping and layout.
Profile Picture400×400px
LinkedIn profile pictures are 400×400 pixels in a 1:1 square format, displayed as circles. The minimum accepted size is 300×300px. Your profile photo is the most viewed element on LinkedIn — it appears in search results, feed posts, messages, connection requests, and the 'People You May Know' section.
Your LinkedIn profile photo appears everywhere on the platform: next to every post and comment you make, in search results, connection requests, messaging threads, and the 'People You May Know' suggestions. Because it shows up across so many surfaces, clarity and recognizability matter more than decorative detail.

Best practices
- •Upload at 400×400px minimum — your face should fill 60-70% of the frame for maximum recognition.
- •Design within a circular safe zone — LinkedIn masks all profile photos to circles.
- •Use a professional headshot with a clean background so your photo stays readable in small feed and search placements.
Carousel1080×1080px
LinkedIn carousels are uploaded as PDF documents with each page displayed as a swipeable slide. The recommended slide size is 1080×1080px (1:1 square) or 1080×1350px (4:5 portrait). The maximum file size is 100MB with up to 300 pages, though most practical carousels are much shorter.
Unlike Instagram carousels (which upload individual images), LinkedIn carousels are PDF uploads. Each page of the PDF becomes a swipeable slide in the feed. This means you design your carousel in any tool that exports PDFs — Canva, Figma, PowerPoint, or Moda — and upload the final PDF to LinkedIn. Each slide should be a single page at your target dimensions.

Best practices
- •Upload as PDF — each page becomes a swipeable slide. Design at 1080×1080px (square) or 1080×1350px (portrait).
- •Keep the slide count manageable — the first slide is your hook, and the last slide should close with a clear takeaway or CTA.
- •Use high-resolution source files — LinkedIn compresses PDFs during processing.
Video1920×1080px
LinkedIn native videos should be 1920×1080 pixels (16:9 landscape) for standard content or 1080×1920 (9:16 vertical) for mobile-first viewing. Videos can be 3 seconds to 15 minutes long with a 5GB maximum file size.
LinkedIn supports native video uploads in landscape (16:9), square (1:1), and vertical (9:16) formats. Landscape is the traditional default, while vertical video is increasingly common for mobile-first publishing. Square video is a practical compromise that works cleanly in both mobile and desktop feeds.

Best practices
- •Upload natively to LinkedIn when you want the video to play directly in-feed rather than sending viewers off-platform.
- •Add captions so the video still works well in muted autoplay contexts.
- •Keep the opening seconds visually clear and concise so the video is understandable before a viewer unmutes.
Single Image Ad1200×1200px
LinkedIn recommends 1200×1200 pixels for square single-image ads, 1200×628 for landscape, and 720×900 for 4:5 vertical. Single images may be JPG, PNG, or GIF up to 5MB; carousel cards use 1080×1080 pixels and allow 2–10 cards.
LinkedIn's current single-image specifications recommend 1200×1200 for square, 1200×628 for landscape, and 720×900 for 4:5 vertical ads. The allowed range depends on the ratio: square starts at 360×360, landscape at 640×360, and vertical at 360×640. Paid vertical assets serve only on mobile, and LinkedIn recommends 4:5 to avoid the side borders that can appear on taller 1:1.91 images.

Best practices
- •Use 1200×1200px when one single-image asset needs to serve cleanly across desktop and mobile.
- •Build carousel cards at LinkedIn's recommended 1080×1080px and keep all 2–10 cards visually consistent.
- •For video, export one of LinkedIn's documented aspect ratios and match any custom thumbnail to the video's ratio and resolution.
Event Cover1776×444px
LinkedIn event cover images are 1776×444 pixels with a 4:1 aspect ratio. This wide banner appears at the top of your event page and in feed posts when the event is shared. Include the event name, date, and key visual in the center of the image for maximum impact across all display contexts.
LinkedIn event covers display as a wide horizontal banner at the top of the event page and in feed previews when the event is promoted or shared. The 4:1 aspect ratio is similar to the personal profile banner but slightly wider (1776×444 vs. 1584×396). They are not interchangeable — the event cover needs its own design.

Best practices
- •Upload at 1776×444px — include the event name, date, and branding prominently.
- •Center all important content — the image is cropped for feed previews.
- •Don't reuse your profile banner — event covers are a different size (1776×444 vs. 1584×396).
