Feed post images — 1200×627px (1.91:1)
LinkedIn displays feed post images at approximately 552px wide on desktop. Upload at 1200×627 for retina quality. LinkedIn accepts square images too — 1200×1200 displays as a square in the feed.
Company page cover image — 1128×191px
Company pages use a narrower, shorter banner than personal profiles. Upload at 1128×191px. Unlike the personal profile banner (1584×396), this one has no profile photo overlap area.
Personal profile banner — 1584×396px
The personal profile banner displays at 1584×396px. Keep content away from the bottom-left where the profile photo overlaps. See the LinkedIn Banner guide for safe zone details.
Profile photo — 400×400px
LinkedIn profile photos display as circles at roughly 200px diameter in the feed. Upload at 400×400px minimum for retina quality. Use PNG for best edge quality when the circular crop is applied.
LinkedIn article header — 1200×627px
Article (newsletter) header images use the same 1.91:1 ratio as feed images. Upload at 1200×627px. Text overlaid on the image should be in the safe central area — LinkedIn may add the article title on top.
100% Private — Zero Uploads
ImgToolkit runs entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Your images are never sent to a server, never stored in the cloud, and never seen by anyone else. This makes it safe for sensitive documents, client work, medical imagery, and confidential screenshots.
Pro tip
Pre-optimizing images before uploading to a platform gives you more control than relying on the platform's automatic (and often aggressive) compression.
