LinkedIn Banner Size Resizer

The background photo behind your LinkedIn profile is a long 4:1 strip, recommended at 1584 × 396 pixels, and company Pages use an even thinner cover. A normal photo dropped in there loses most of its height. This tool resizes and crops your image to the exact LinkedIn size, lets you pick the part that stays, and draws a guide showing where your profile photo covers the banner on the left.

How to use this tool

1. Choose your image or several images.
2. Pick the personal background, the company Page cover or the Life tab image.
3. Crop to fill and adjust the position, or show the whole image on a colour or blurred background.
4. Look at the guide preview and keep text clear of the profile-photo area on the left.
5. Download the JPG (or PNG for graphics) and upload it from your profile or Page admin view.

Formula

scale = max(target width ÷ width, target height ÷ height) × zoom

The kept window is target ÷ scale, centred on the chosen position. JPG quality starts at your setting and is lowered in 6-point steps until the file is under the limit: 8 MB for a personal background and 3 MB for Page images, as LinkedIn states, or your own maximum.

Example

A 3000 × 2000 photo for the personal background has scale = max(1584/3000, 396/2000) = 0.528, so the kept window is 3000 × 750 px: the full width and the middle 38% of the height. For the Page cover (1512 × 256) the same photo keeps only 3000 × 508 px, about a quarter of its height.

LinkedIn image sizes

LinkedIn's Pages help lists the Page cover at 1512 × 256 px and the Life tab main image at 1128 × 376 px, as PNG or JPEG up to 3 MB. Older guides still quote 1128 × 191 for the Page cover; that size has been replaced. The personal profile background is widely given as 1584 × 396 px, JPG or PNG, under 8 MB.
