LinkedIn is the platform where a banner most often gets ruined by something other than the crop: your own profile photo sits on top of it, and on a phone your name is printed across it.
How to use it
Drop in your artwork and choose Personal banner or Company page banner. The preview dims the mobile crop, your profile photo’s circle, and the band where your name and headline are drawn. Move anything that has to be read into the bright area and download.
The personal banner has three obstacles, not one
At 1584×396 the frame is a 4:1 strip. Three things eat into it:
- Your profile photo. A circle roughly 160 pixels across, overlapping the bottom-left corner. It is drawn over the banner, not beside it.
- Your name and headline on mobile. Printed across the lower quarter of the image rather than underneath it.
- The mobile width crop. About 228 pixels come off each side.
What survives all three is a rectangle in the upper right, roughly 1425×285. The tool states that number as you work, because “keep it in the top right” is advice you cannot measure against.
Company banners are a different job
1128×191 is nearly six times wider than it is tall. The logo overlaps the bottom-left, mobile crops around 300 pixels off the width, and there is no name band — so the height is usable but there is barely any of it. In practice this means a short line of text, centred, at a size that survives being 800 pixels wide.
Photos and logos behave differently
A personal photo is 400×400 and always shown as a circle. A company logo is 300×300 and stays square. That difference matters: a logo designed to fill a circle looks clipped in a square, and a photograph composed for a square loses its corners in a circle. Both previews draw the correct shape.
The photo is displayed at 48 pixels in feed comments, which is where most impressions happen. A face that fills the frame reads at 48 pixels; a full-body shot does not.
Link posts
1200×627 is included because it is the same shape as an Open Graph image and it is the other asset LinkedIn work needs constantly. Anything smaller gets letterboxed in the feed with grey bars, which looks like a mistake even when it is not.
What it does not do
It does not upload, so it cannot change your profile. It does not add text or graphics — bring finished artwork. And it will not enlarge a small source silently: if the image is under 1584 wide, the warning tells you by how much before you download something soft.
Which tool for which job
| You want to | Use |
|---|---|
| A LinkedIn banner with the photo overlap | This tool |
| A YouTube banner with four device crops | YouTube Banner Resizer |
| An X header, 1500×500 | X Header Resizer |

| Any custom pixel size | Image Resizer |
The image is decoded and encoded on your device using the browser’s File and Canvas APIs. Nothing is uploaded, and closing the tab leaves no copy behind.
Questions
What size is a LinkedIn banner?
1584×396 for a personal profile and 1128×191 for a company page. Those are two very different shapes — 4:1 and roughly 5.9:1 — so one image cannot serve both. The dimensions are the easy part. What catches people is that your profile photo is a circle sitting on top of the banner's lower-left corner, and on mobile your name and headline are printed across the lower third of it.
Where is it safe to put text on a LinkedIn banner?
The top-right. Concretely, on a 1584×396 banner the clean rectangle is about 1425×285 starting roughly 159 pixels from the left — the tool computes and states it rather than leaving you to guess. Below that band your name and headline are drawn over the image on mobile, and the lower-left is behind your photo. A tagline centred in the banner is a tagline printed behind your own job title.
Why does my banner look different on my phone?
Two reasons. LinkedIn crops the width on mobile, so the outer edges disappear, and it draws your name, headline and location directly over the lower part of the banner instead of below it. Both are drawn in the preview. Designs that work on both tend to be simple — a texture or gradient with one piece of content in the upper right.
Is the company page banner the same?
No, and swapping them is a common mistake. A company banner is 1128×191, almost six times wider than it is tall, with the logo overlapping the bottom-left and roughly 300 pixels cropped off the width on mobile. There is no name band over it, so the vertical space is usable, but there is very little of it. Text has to be short and centred.
What about the profile photo itself?
400×400, uploaded square and always displayed as a circle — from 48 pixels in a feed comment up to 400 on your own profile page. The preview draws the circle so you can see what the corners lose. Head and shoulders fills that circle properly; a full-body shot becomes an unrecognisable smudge at feed size, which is where most people see you.
