How to resize an image for LinkedIn banner
- Select Choose files and pick your photo, or drop it on the box.
- The tool fills a 1584×396 frame and trims equally from the longer side, so the middle of your photo stays. The file keeps the format of your original.
- Select Download and upload the result.
About the 1584×396 size
The LinkedIn personal profile banner is a very wide strip, commonly published as 1584×396 pixels at the time of writing. Company pages use different sizes, and LinkedIn may change them, so confirm on the platform.
1584×396 is a 4:1 landscape frame (width divided by height is 4) with 627,264 pixels, or 0.63 megapixels. At a 4 to 1 ratio the banner is extremely thin. A normal landscape photo loses most of its height, so choose a wide scene such as a skyline, workspace or panorama.
What happens to your photo
The table shows how common source images are treated when the tool fills 1584×396.
| Source | Scaling | Part of the picture kept |
|---|---|---|
| 4000×3000 phone photo | reduced to 40 percent | 33 percent |
| 3024×4032 portrait photo | reduced to 52 percent | 19 percent |
| 1920×1080 screenshot | reduced to 83 percent | 44 percent |
| 1080×1080 square | enlarged 1.47× | 25 percent |
Sources smaller than the frame are enlarged because the output size is fixed, which can look soft. Platforms change their guidance over time, so check LinkedIn banner requirements before you publish.
Tips
- Leave the left side free of key detail. Your profile photo covers part of the banner on many layouts.
- Wide panoramas and abstract patterns work better than portraits.
- Keep text short and large, since the strip is small on a phone.
