Resize an image for LinkedIn

About LinkedIn Image Resizer

Why the feed post preset isn't square

1200×627 is LinkedIn's 1.91:1 ratio for link previews and shared images in the desktop feed. A square image posted at that ratio gets cropped top and bottom by the layout, whereas the correct ratio displays whole.

The banner's safe zone

1584×396 is the full desktop cover size, but your profile photo overlaps its lower-left corner and mobile crops the sides more aggressively. Keeping text and logos within the middle third of the banner avoids both problems.

Settings and output

Fit vs crop for graphics and photos

Use Fit for a chart, slide or infographic — cropping would trim axis labels or text at the edge. Use Crop for a straightforward photo, where filling the frame looks more intentional than letterboxing.

When to use it

  • Sizing a feed post or link preview image to LinkedIn's actual display ratio.
  • Building a profile banner that keeps its message inside the safe zone across devices.
  • Cropping a professional headshot to the square profile picture size.

Limitations to know

  • The banner overlaps with the profile photo differently depending on device — always check the live preview.
  • Crop mode can trim charts or infographics if the source composition isn't centred.
  • LinkedIn re-compresses uploads regardless of the size you send, so exact final file size isn't controllable.

Common problems and fixes

My chart or slide lost some labels near the edge.

Crop mode trimmed them to fill the frame. Switch to Fit, which scales the whole graphic inside the frame without cutting anything, at the cost of some empty space around it.

Part of my banner is hidden behind my profile photo.

The profile photo overlaps the lower-left of the desktop banner. Keep important text and logos in the centre or right portion of the 1584×396 canvas.

Should I use JPG or PNG for a LinkedIn post?

JPG for photographs, PNG for text-heavy graphics and screenshots, where JPG's compression artefacts are most visible around lettering.

How to use it

  1. 1Drop your post image, banner or headshot into the upload area.
  2. 2Pick a preset: feed post 1200 × 627, square post 1200 × 1200, cover banner 1584 × 396 or profile picture 400 × 400.
  3. 3Use Fit when a chart or slide must stay fully readable, and Crop when a photo should fill the frame.
  4. 4Resize and download, then upload the file to LinkedIn.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the feed post 1200 × 627 rather than square?

1.91:1 is the ratio LinkedIn uses for link previews and shared images in the desktop feed, so a 1200 × 627 image displays whole instead of being cropped top and bottom.

What gets cut off from a 1584 × 396 banner?

That's the full desktop cover size, but the profile photo sits over the lower left and mobile crops the sides. Keep text and logos in the middle third to be safe.

Should I use Fit for a slide or infographic?

Yes. Crop would trim the edges of a chart. Fit scales the whole thing inside the frame so every label stays visible, at the cost of some empty space.

Which file format is best for LinkedIn?

JPG for photographs and PNG for text-heavy graphics and screenshots, where JPG artefacts around lettering are most noticeable.

What size should a company page banner be?

Use the cover / banner preset, 1584 × 396 — the same ratio LinkedIn uses for personal profile covers, so it works for both without letterboxing.

Will LinkedIn crop my square post image?

No — 1200 × 1200 displays as posted in the feed without cropping, unlike the 1.91:1 feed preset which is designed for link-style previews.

Can I resize a screenshot without blurring the text?

Yes — use Fit rather than Crop so no pixels are cut or rescaled unexpectedly, and keep PNG as the output format since JPG can smear fine text edges.
