LinkedIn Banner Size Guide (2026)

LinkedIn uses different banner dimensions for personal profiles and company pages, and this catches many people off guard.

Personal profile banner: 1584x396 pixels. This is a 4:1 ratio — very wide and short. It sits behind your profile photo, name, and headline. On mobile, the sides get cropped slightly, so keep key content centered.

Company page banner: 1128x191 pixels. Even wider proportionally. This appears at the top of your company page and is often the first visual impression for potential hires and clients.

Using the wrong dimensions means LinkedIn will stretch, compress, or crop your image unpredictably. Always start with the exact pixel dimensions.

Personal profile: Your profile photo overlaps the bottom-left corner of the banner. Avoid placing text, logos, or important visuals in the bottom-left 20% of the image.

On mobile, roughly 10-15% of each side gets cropped. Keep all critical content in the center 70% of the banner.

Company page: The company logo overlaps the bottom-left. The banner is narrower, so there's less room for content. A clean background with a single tagline or visual works best.

Both types: LinkedIn occasionally tweaks the layout slightly between app updates. Design with generous margins to stay safe across versions.

Match your professional brand. Unlike Instagram or TikTok, LinkedIn is a professional platform. Your banner should reinforce your expertise, company values, or personal brand — not be a vacation photo.

Include a subtle call to action. A website URL, a tagline about your services, or your speaking schedule can turn passive profile visitors into leads.

Use your brand colors. If you have an established visual identity, carry it into your banner. Consistency across your profile photo, banner, and posts builds recognition.

Keep it simple. One strong image or clean graphic with minimal text outperforms cluttered designs every time. The banner is a backdrop, not a brochure.

Using the same image for personal and company pages. They have different dimensions — an image sized for 1584x396 will look distorted at 1128x191.

Ignoring the profile photo overlap. Important text or faces positioned in the bottom-left will be hidden behind your profile picture.

Text too small. The banner is viewed at different sizes across desktop, tablet, and mobile. If text isn't legible at the smallest display size, it shouldn't be there.

Low-resolution uploads. Blurry banners look unprofessional. Always upload at the full recommended resolution.
