Before publishing on LinkedIn

Distinguish URL previews from image posts

The 1200×627 guidance applies to a custom Page-post image with a URL; standalone photos allow other ratios.

Keep backgrounds flexible

Personal background display changes with viewport and screen resolution.

Center profile subjects

A square profile source is commonly shown as a circle and may be cropped.

Use the correct Page asset

A personal background, Page cover and Page logo have different current specifications.

Preview after upload

LinkedIn can offer additional positioning and crop controls after upload.

Avoid unnecessary upscaling

More output pixels cannot replace genuine facial, text or logo detail.

Guidance checked against LinkedIn's current personal background specifications, profile-photo specifications, and LinkedIn Page image guidance.

What the resizer actually does

The source scales until it fills the selected target. A different aspect ratio is cropped equally around the center, and the crop can be repositioned.

Every preset exports JPEG at fixed quality 88. The tool does not preserve transparency or metadata, create responsive safe zones, or reproduce LinkedIn's upload controls.

Common LinkedIn image-resize mistakes

Treating 1200×627 as every post size

It is specifically useful for 1.91:1 URL previews; image-only posts allow a broader range.

Using the old 300px Page-logo recommendation

LinkedIn's current Page guidance recommends 400×400, which this preset now uses.

Missing the crop

A mismatched source loses content around opposite edges. Use Adjust framing to reposition it.

Placing background text near an edge

Responsive background display can trim or cover vulnerable content.

Expecting PNG or transparency

Every preset downloads as JPEG at fixed quality 88.

Skipping LinkedIn's upload preview

The actual placement may offer a different crop or positioning than this output preview.

Frequently asked questions

Is 1200 by 627 required for every LinkedIn post?

No. LinkedIn documents 1.91:1, such as 1200 by 627, for custom images on Page posts with a URL. Image-only posts support aspect ratios from 3:1 through 4:5 and LinkedIn recommends a width of 1080 pixels for strong display.

What size should a personal LinkedIn background image be?

LinkedIn currently recommends 1584 by 396 pixels for a personal background photo. Its appearance can change with browser-window size and screen resolution, so keep key content away from vulnerable edges.

What size should a LinkedIn profile photo be?

LinkedIn currently accepts profile photos from 400 by 400 pixels upward and recommends choosing a source that will not require much cropping. The displayed photo is commonly circular, so keep the subject centered.

What size should a LinkedIn Page logo be?

LinkedIn currently recommends 400 by 400 pixels for a Page logo, with a documented minimum of 268 by 268. This page's previous 300 by 300 preset has been updated to 400 by 400.

Will this tool crop my LinkedIn image?

Yes, when the source and preset have different aspect ratios. The initial crop is centered, and you can drag or zoom the image before applying a new crop.

What format and quality does the LinkedIn resizer export?

Every preset exports JPEG at fixed quality 88. PNG transparency, the original format and embedded metadata are not preserved.

Can I resize several LinkedIn images at once?

No. The interface accepts one source and produces one preset result at a time. You can reuse the source for another preset and download each result separately.

Are my LinkedIn images uploaded?

No. Decoding, resizing, center-cropping and JPEG encoding happen locally in your browser.
