The Challenge
LinkedIn personal profile banners require 1584×396 pixels (4:1 ratio). Wrong dimensions cause stretching, cropping, or blurriness. The profile picture overlaps the lower-left corner, hiding content placed there. Mobile and desktop display the banner differently, cutting off edges unpredictably.
LinkedIn banner size requirements
LinkedIn recommends 1584×396 pixels for personal profile banners with a 4:1 aspect ratio. The maximum file size is 8MB in JPG or PNG format. Company page banners use a different size: 1128×191 pixels. The banner displays differently on desktop and mobile — desktop shows the full width while mobile crops the sides. Key content like text, logos, or contact details should be centred to remain visible across all devices. The profile picture overlaps the lower-left corner of the banner, so avoid placing important elements there.
Personal vs company page banner sizes
- Personal profile: 1584×396 pixels (4:1 ratio) — this tool
- Company page: 1128×191 pixels (approximately 6:1 ratio) — different size
- These are NOT interchangeable — using the wrong one causes distortion
- This tool is configured for personal profile banners

Frequently Asked Questions
What size is a LinkedIn banner?
Personal profile banners are 1584×396 pixels with a 4:1 aspect ratio. Company page banners are 1128×191 pixels. Maximum file size is 8MB. Accepted formats are JPG and PNG.
Why does my LinkedIn banner look blurry?
Either your source image is too small (LinkedIn stretches it) or you uploaded a low-quality file that LinkedIn compressed further. Resize to exactly 1584×396 using a high-resolution source image, and save as PNG for graphics or high-quality JPG for photos.
What should I put on my LinkedIn banner?
Your headline or professional tagline, key skills, contact information, or brand colours. Keep it clean and readable. Avoid cluttered designs — the banner should support your profile, not overwhelm it. Centre all text to avoid cropping on different devices.
Is the LinkedIn banner the same for personal and company pages?
No. Personal profiles use 1584×396 pixels. Company pages use 1128×191 pixels. They have different aspect ratios and are not interchangeable. This tool is configured for personal profile banners.
Does my profile picture cover part of the banner?
Yes. Your circular profile picture overlaps the lower-left area of the banner. Avoid placing logos, text, or key visual elements in that corner. Design your banner with the lower-left 20% clear.
