LinkedIn banner sizes
The right size for your LinkedIn banner, and where to keep the words and faces so your photo or logo doesn't cover them.
The banner behind your photo on your own profile. Your round profile photo sits over its lower left corner.
The safe area is a guide, not an exact LinkedIn measurement. LinkedIn places the photo and crops the edges a little differently on phones and laptops, so leave some room around anything important.

How it works
Pick a personal profile banner or a Company Page banner to see its size drawn to scale, the corner your profile photo or logo covers, and the safest area for words and faces. Then crop your own image to the exact size with the free image resizer.
The guide draws each LinkedIn banner to scale: the personal profile banner at 1584 x 396 px and the Company Page banner at 1128 x 191 px. It marks the lower left corner your profile photo or Company Page logo covers, and the safe area where words and faces stay clear of it.

A personal profile banner, also called the background photo, is 1584 x 396 px, a 4:1 ratio. A Company Page banner, or cover image, is 1128 x 191 px, about 5.9:1. Both are very wide and short, so a photo taken in portrait will lose most of its height.
Start from an image at least as large as the banner size. A smaller image is enlarged to fit and can look soft.
On a personal profile, the round profile photo sits over the lower left of the banner. On a Company Page, the square logo does the same. Keep names, words and faces in the middle and right of the banner, and leave room at the edges, because phones and laptops show slightly different parts of it.
The safe area in the picture is a guide rather than an exact LinkedIn measurement. After uploading, check the banner on your phone and on a laptop.
Personal banner: choose Personal profile, note the safe area, then open the image resizer, pick Personal profile cover and move your photo so the important part sits in the middle and right.
Company Page banner: choose Company Page, keep the headline short enough to fit the safe area, and save the finished banner as a PNG so the words stay crisp.
FAQ
A personal profile banner is 1584 x 396 px (4:1). A Company Page banner is 1128 x 191 px.
It's the part of the banner that your profile photo or logo doesn't cover and that phones and laptops both show: the middle and right, away from the lower left corner and the edges. The guide shows it as a dashed box.
JPG suits photos. PNG keeps words, logos and sharp edges crisp, so use it for banners with text.
