What is the correct LinkedIn banner size for 2026?

The recommended size for a personal LinkedIn profile banner is 1584 x 396 pixels. For a Company Page, the size is 1128 x 191 pixels. Our tool provides presets for both to ensure a perfect fit.

How do I make my banner fit without my head being cut off?

Our live preview shows you exactly where your profile picture will be. Use the 'Fit' mode to shrink your image to fit within the banner space with a background, or use the 'Fill' (crop) mode to reposition the image so important elements are not hidden.

Why should I export as a PNG?

LinkedIn compresses all uploaded images, which can make them look blurry or 'grainy.' Starting with a high-quality PNG file gives LinkedIn's compression algorithm a better source to work with, resulting in a sharper, cleaner final banner on your profile.

Is this LinkedIn banner resizer free?

Absolutely. This tool is 100% free to use, and all processing happens securely in your browser. Your images are never uploaded to our servers.

Does the LinkedIn banner look different on mobile vs desktop?

Yes, significantly. On desktop, your profile picture covers the bottom-left corner. On mobile, the profile picture moves toward the center, and the sides of your banner may be cropped. Our 'Safe Zone' tool helps you keep your design 'center-right' to ensure it works on both devices.

What is the best file size for a LinkedIn banner?

LinkedIn has a file size limit of 8MB for cover photos. If your file is too large, our tool automatically optimizes the export to stay under the limit while maintaining high visual fidelity.

Can I use a LinkedIn banner maker for my Company Page?

Absolutely. Our tool includes a specific preset for LinkedIn Company Pages (1128 x 191 px). Company banners are narrower than personal ones and don't have the same circular profile picture overlap, so a specific crop is essential.

Should I use text on my LinkedIn banner?

Text is great for a CTA (Call to Action) or a value proposition, but keep it minimal. Use our tool to ensure the text is placed in the 'Safe Zone' so it doesn't get cut off on mobile screens or covered by your profile photo.

How do I fix a LinkedIn banner that is stretched or distorted?

Distortion happens when you upload an image with the wrong aspect ratio. By using our resizer, your image is locked into the 4:1 (Personal) or 5.91:1 (Company) ratio, ensuring it looks perfectly crisp without any stretching.

Is it better to use a photo or a graphic for a LinkedIn background?

Both work well! High-resolution photos create a personal connection, while branded graphics are better for business pages. Whatever you choose, ensure it is exported as a PNG to keep graphics sharp and text readable.

The Desktop vs. Mobile Challenge

One of the biggest frustrations with LinkedIn banners is responsive cropping. A banner that looks great on a desktop computer often gets cut off or obscured by the profile picture on the LinkedIn mobile app.

Our tool solves this by providing a multi-device preview environment.

By using the 'Safe Zone' toggle, you can ensure your contact information, call-to-action, or company logo is placed in the 'Dead Zone'—the area guaranteed to remain visible regardless of screen size.

3 Secrets for a Viral LinkedIn Profile

Contrast is King
LinkedIn's UI is white (light mode) or dark grey (dark mode). Use a banner with a pop of color to make your profile stand out as users scroll.
The Right-Hand Rule
Since the profile picture is on the left, keep your most important text or face on the right side of the banner for perfect visual balance.
Quality over Quantity
Always use PNG. LinkedIn's compression is aggressive; starting with a lossless PNG ensures your text remains readable and sharp.
