LinkedIn Banner Image Size Guide 2026

The LinkedIn banner image size for a personal profile is 1584x396 pixels, a 4:1 ratio, while a LinkedIn Company Page banner uses a much wider 4200x700 pixel canvas at roughly 6:1. Using the wrong one is a common mistake since both are called a "banner" or "cover photo," but the dimensions and safe zones are different enough that a personal profile banner will look stretched and blurry if uploaded to a Company Page, and vice versa.

Personal profile banner: 1584x396

Design your personal LinkedIn banner at 1584x396 pixels. Your circular profile photo overlaps the bottom left corner of the banner, roughly 200 pixels in from the left edge and 150 pixels up from the bottom on desktop, so avoid placing text or a logo in that corner. The safe zone that survives every crop is a centered rectangle covering roughly the middle two thirds of the width and the upper two thirds of the height; put your headline, tagline, or call to action there.

Company Page banner: 4200x700

LinkedIn Company Page banners use a 4200x700 pixel canvas, about 6:1. That is not a typo compared to the personal profile size: Company Pages render the banner at a smaller display size (roughly 1128x191 on the page itself) but ask for the larger upload so the image stays sharp on high resolution screens. Keep essential content centered here too, since mobile view crops more aggressively than desktop.

File requirements

Both banner types accept PNG or JPG, with a maximum file size of 8MB. There is no minimum resolution enforced, but uploading below the recommended size will look soft, especially on retina displays.

Designing for both audiences at once

If your personal brand and your company overlap heavily, resist the temptation to use the exact same graphic file for both banner types. Because the ratios differ so much (4:1 for personal, 6:1 for Company Pages), a design built for one will always look either stretched or oddly cropped on the other. Build a shared visual language, colors, fonts, a consistent logo treatment, but export two separate files sized correctly for each placement rather than forcing one file to serve both.

Getting your banner right the first time

Since the two banner types are easy to mix up, double check which profile type you are editing before exporting your final file. Once your banner is live, keep your visual identity consistent across platforms with the social media image resizer, and format your post text with the LinkedIn text formatter to match.
