Four to one is flatter than it sounds

A LinkedIn profile banner is 1584 × 396, a 4:1 ratio — flatter than a cinema screen and flatter than any photograph you are likely to own. Almost nothing survives that crop unaltered: a portrait loses everything but a band across the eyes, a building loses its roof and its base. Images that work here are either wide by nature, like a horizon or a desk shot from above, or are built for the shape rather than cropped into it.

Your profile photo then sits over the lower-left of the banner on desktop, and on mobile the strip is cropped in from both sides. The practical consequence is the same as on every other profile header: keep the meaningful content centred and slightly right, treat the lower-left as background, and check that any text still reads when the strip is only a couple of hundred pixels tall on screen.

three steps

How to make a LinkedIn banner

01

Drop your image in

PNG, JPG or WebP. It is decoded in the page — nothing is uploaded, so nothing waits on a connection.

02

Move the box

The crop box is already locked to the 4:1 shape. Drag it over the part that matters and resize it from any corner; the pixel size is shown as you go.

03

Download

The export is exactly 1584 × 396. JPEG for photographs, PNG when the banner is flat colour with text.

quick answers

LinkedIn banner FAQ

What size is a LinkedIn background photo?

1584 × 396 pixels for a personal profile, a 4:1 ratio, which is what this page crops and exports to.

Where does my profile photo cover the banner?

Over the lower-left on the desktop layout. Leave that corner as background — a logo or a line of text placed there will be partly hidden.

Why does my banner look soft?

Usually because the source was narrower than 1584 pixels and got enlarged. Start from something at least that wide; a 4:1 crop discards so much height that width is the only dimension you have to spare.

Does anything get uploaded here?

No. Everything runs in your browser and the file stays on your device.
