LinkedIn profile banners (cover photos) are 1584×396 pixels with a 4:1 aspect ratio. The banner sits behind your profile photo, headline, and connection count. For retina displays, design at 3168×792px and export at 1x — LinkedIn will use the extra resolution on high-DPI screens.
- •Design at 1584×396px — or 3168×792px for retina sharpness on high-DPI displays.
- •Keep text and logos away from the bottom-left where your profile photo overlaps the banner.
- •Test on mobile — LinkedIn crops the banner more aggressively on phones, showing mainly the center.
What you need to know
The LinkedIn banner is the largest visual element on your personal profile. It spans the full width of the profile page on desktop, but on mobile it's cropped more aggressively — typically showing only the center portion. Design with the most important elements centered horizontally for cross-device compatibility.
Your profile photo (circular, positioned in the bottom-left) overlaps the banner by approximately 120px. This means any text, logos, or key graphics placed in the bottom-left quadrant will be partially hidden. The safest approach is to use the banner for ambient branding (colors, patterns, imagery) and keep text centered or right-aligned.
LinkedIn doesn't officially support animated banners or video backgrounds. The maximum file size is 8MB, and only PNG and JPG are accepted. For the sharpest result on retina screens, design at 2x resolution (3168×792px) and let LinkedIn handle the downscaling.
