Frequently Asked Questions

4 questions answered

What size is a LinkedIn profile banner in 2025?

LinkedIn profile (personal) banners display at 1584×396px with a 4:1 aspect ratio. LinkedIn Company Page banners use a slightly different spec: 1128×191px for the page banner, and 1192×220px for the cover image area. For personal profiles, 1584×396px is the correct target.

Where is the LinkedIn banner safe zone?

Your LinkedIn profile photo (circular, ~200px diameter) overlaps the bottom-left corner of the banner. Keep logos, faces, and important text away from the bottom-left 250px × 250px area. The right side and centre-right of the banner are ideal for taglines, contact info, and featured content.

What should I put in my LinkedIn banner?

Effective LinkedIn banners: (1) a professional photo or on-brand gradient background, (2) your job title or value proposition in 6–10 words, (3) your website URL or a call to action, (4) your company logo if relevant. Keep text large and legible — the banner appears small on mobile. Avoid cluttered designs.

Why does LinkedIn zoom in or crop my banner after uploading?

LinkedIn applies a zoom and reposition step after upload on mobile. If this is cropping your design, try re-uploading on desktop where you get more control over positioning. Uploading at exactly 1584×396px with a safe zone gives you the most predictable result.
