LinkedIn Company Cover Size

1128 by 191 — nearly six times wider than it is tall. That shape is the whole problem, and it is why most company covers look like a mistake.

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.

STEP 01

Drop the image in

JPG, PNG, WebP or an iPhone HEIC. Several at once is fine — they all come out the same size.

STEP 02

The size is already set to 1128 by 191

Change it if you need something else. Cover crops to fill, Contain fits the whole picture and pads the rest.

STEP 03

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 brand colour or gradient

The version that never looks broken, and takes ten seconds.

A tagline in a few large words

Centred, so the logo sitting over the left side does not cover it.

A texture or pattern

Fabric, paper or an abstract — anything with no single subject to lose in the crop.

Artwork that cannot be cropped

Contain instead of Cover, with a background colour, so it is shown whole.

A letterbox, not a banner

1128 by 191 pixels. Read that ratio again: it is 5.9 to 1. For comparison, a cinema screen is 2.4 to 1 and a YouTube banner's visible strip is about 3.7 to 1. This is far thinner than anything else you will be asked to design.

Almost nothing survives a crop that severe. A photograph of a building becomes a band of windows; a group photo becomes a row of foreheads; a logo with any height at all has to shrink until it is unreadable.

What actually works in a strip

Three things, and not much else:

  • Flat colour or a gradient. Boring, and it never looks broken.
  • A texture or pattern with no single subject to lose — fabric, paper, an abstract.
  • A few words, set large, in the middle. A tagline, not a sentence.

What does not work is any photograph with a subject in it, because you are showing a 191-pixel-tall horizontal slice of it and the subject is almost certainly taller than that.

The logo is not in here

Your company logo is a separate square image that sits on top of the cover's left side, and it covers part of it. So the left portion of the strip is not usable, and anything you place there will end up behind a logo.

Design from the centre rightwards, or design something that does not care.

It is different from a personal banner

A personal profile banner — the one behind your own photo — is 1584 by 396, four times taller in proportion and a much friendlier shape. They are not interchangeable, and using the personal size on a company page is the most common reason a cover appears stretched or cut.

Use Contain when the whole image matters

If what you have simply cannot be cropped to a strip — a logo lockup, a piece of artwork — switch the fit to Contain and pick a background colour. The image is shown whole and small, with colour either side, which reads as a deliberate design rather than as a bad crop.

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 company page cover?

1128 by 191 pixels. That is a ratio of about 5.9 to 1 — far thinner than a cinema screen, and thinner than any other cover you are likely to design.

Why does my company cover look cut off?

Because almost anything does at that ratio. A 191-pixel-tall slice of a photograph loses the subject. Flat colour, a texture, or a few large words in the centre are the things that survive it.

Is this the same as my profile banner?

No. The banner behind your own photo is 1584 by 396, which is four times taller in proportion. Using the personal size on a company page is why covers come out stretched.

Where does the logo sit?

Over the left side of the cover, as a separate square image. Anything you place there will be behind it, so design from the centre rightwards.
