What is the correct LinkedIn banner size for 2026?

The recommended size for a personal profile banner is 1584 x 396 pixels (a 4:1 aspect ratio). For a Company Page, the size is 1128 x 191 pixels. Our tool provides presets for both to ensure a perfect fit without any distortion.

How do I make my banner fit without my profile picture cutting off my face or logo?

This is the most common problem on LinkedIn. Our tool's live 'Safe Zone' preview shows you exactly where your profile picture will be. Simply drag and reposition your image within the tool to ensure your important content (like your face, text, or logo) is not hidden behind the profile picture cutout.

Why should I export my banner as a PNG file?

LinkedIn applies aggressive compression to all uploaded images, which can make JPEGs look blurry or 'grainy,' especially if they contain text or graphics. Starting with a high-quality PNG-24 file gives LinkedIn's algorithm a better source to work with, resulting in a significantly sharper and cleaner final banner on your profile.

My banner looks fine on desktop but is cut off on the mobile app. How do I fix this?

This happens because the mobile app crops the sides of the banner and moves the profile picture toward the center. Our 'Safe Zone' overlay specifically highlights the area that is visible on both mobile and desktop. Keep all critical information within this central zone to guarantee it looks great everywhere.

What is the best file size for a LinkedIn banner?

LinkedIn has a file size limit of 8MB. Our tool automatically optimizes your exported PNG to ensure it stays under this limit while maintaining the highest possible visual fidelity, so you don't have to worry about your upload being rejected.

What should I put on my LinkedIn banner?

A great banner provides context. For personal profiles, use a high-quality photo of you in a professional setting, a banner showcasing your expertise (e.g., 'Keynote Speaker | AI Ethicist'), or your company's branding. For company pages, use your brand's key visual, a product shot, or a tagline.

LinkedIn Banner Safe Zone Architecture

Responsive cropping alters visibility across desktop and mobile. Design inside controlled zones.

Overlap Zone

Left 25–30% covered by profile image on desktop. Never place logo or CTA here.

Core Safe Zone

Central 60% remains visible on all devices. Place headline and primary value here.

Mobile Crop Edge

Horizontal trimming occurs on mobile. Maintain internal padding for text safety.

LinkedIn compresses all uploads. Control quality before the algorithm does.

Format

Use PNG

PNG preserves typography edges and prevents artifact stacking after compression.

Larger files increase recompression intensity and reduce final clarity.

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

Strategic layout decisions determine whether a profile blends in or dominates attention.

Contrast is King

LinkedIn’s interface is white in light mode and dark grey in dark mode. Use bold contrast in your banner to interrupt scroll behavior and command visual dominance.

The Right-Hand Rule

The profile photo occupies the left side. Position critical text, branding, or faces on the right side of the banner to preserve balance and prevent obstruction.

Quality Over Quantity

Export banners in PNG format. LinkedIn applies aggressive compression; starting with a lossless file preserves text clarity and edge sharpness.
