LinkedIn Banner Size
1584 by 396 — and the corner your own profile photo is about to cover, which is where most people put their name.

Enlarging past the original cannot add detail that was never captured. The tool says so when it happens rather than quietly handing back something softer.
How it works
Three steps, no account, and the image never leaves your computer.
Drop the image in
JPG, PNG, WebP or an iPhone HEIC. Several at once is fine — they all come out the same size.
The size is already set to 1584 by 396
Change it if you need something else. Cover crops to fill, Contain fits the whole picture and pads the rest.
Check the preview, then save
The crop is shown before anything is written, so what you get is what you saw.
What people resize to this
A personal profile
A photograph or a colour instead of the default grey, with any text kept right of centre.
A company page
Where the logo already appears separately, so the banner can carry a product shot or a tagline instead.
A conference or a launch
Changed for a few weeks, which is easy when getting the size right is not the obstacle.
A design made somewhere else
Exported at some other width and resized here, rather than letting LinkedIn crop it.
The banner is mostly a backdrop
1584 by 396 pixels, 4:1, under 8 MB. A very wide, very short strip, and the shape alone tells you something: there is not much room for anything but a background.
Your profile photo covers the lower left
On a desktop profile, your round photo sits over the left-hand end of the banner and hangs below it. On mobile it moves, and the banner itself is cropped narrower. Between the two, roughly the left quarter is unreliable and the bottom edge is partly hidden.
So a name or a logo at the left, which is where the eye wants to put it, is exactly where it disappears. Put text in the middle or towards the right, and keep it clear of the bottom.

How much text fits in 396 pixels
Less than you think. At that height, a line of readable text takes up a fifth of the banner, and two lines start to feel crowded. One short line — a role, a tagline, a website — is what the shape supports. A paragraph is not going to be read.
What it is actually for
It is the only piece of a LinkedIn profile you fully control the look of, and the default is a grey gradient that says nothing. A plain photograph relevant to your work, or a flat colour with a single line on it, both beat the default by a lot and take five minutes.
Ambition is not required here. Not being grey is most of the win.
Cover or Contain, and what each throws away
Two ways to fit one shape into another, and the tool offers both.
Cover fills the frame completely and crops whatever does not fit. Nothing is distorted and nothing is padded; some of the picture is simply gone. This is what you want almost always.
Contain fits the whole image inside the frame and fills the leftover space with a colour you choose. Nothing is lost, but the picture is smaller and there are bars. Right when the whole frame matters — a poster, a diagram, a design you cannot cut.
Neither ever stretches. An image squashed to fit is the one mistake that cannot be undone by looking at it again later.
Nothing is uploaded
The resizing happens in your browser using your own processor, so the image never leaves your machine. That is why there is no file-size limit, no queue and no account, and why a batch of forty is limited by your computer rather than by somebody’s free tier.
Common questions
What size is a LinkedIn banner?
1584 by 396 pixels, a 4:1 strip, under 8 MB. That applies to a personal profile; company pages use a different, wider image.
Where does the profile photo cover the banner?
Over the left-hand end on desktop, and it moves on mobile. Treat roughly the left quarter as unreliable and keep text in the middle or towards the right.
How much text can I put on it?
One short line. At 396 pixels tall, readable text takes a fifth of the height, and two lines already feel crowded.
Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No. It is resized in your browser and never leaves your machine.
