LinkedIn Video Dimensions 2026 (16:9)

LinkedIn video supports 1920x1080 pixels at 16:9 as the standard landscape option, but the platform also fully supports square 1:1 (1080x1080) and vertical 9:16 (1080x1920) formats, with an accepted resolution range as wide as 256x144 up to 4096x2304. Which ratio actually performs best depends more on where people are watching than which one LinkedIn "recommends."

The three formats worth knowing

Square (1080x1080, 1:1): widely considered the safest, most versatile option on LinkedIn, since it displays well on both desktop and mobile feeds without triggering a different crop on either.

Vertical (1080x1350, 4:5): has become the practical standard for mobile feed video, since it fills nearly the entire vertical screen without switching into a full-screen immersive player, which means your caption and comments stay visible while the video plays.

Landscape (1920x1080, 16:9): still the strongest choice for desktop viewing and anything that reads as a professional presentation, webinar clip, or product demo.

Full vertical (1080x1920, 9:16): supported, and functions like a Reels or TikTok style format, but takes over the entire mobile screen the way an immersive video player does, which is a different viewing experience than the other three.

Which one to actually use

If most of your audience watches on desktop (common for B2B and thought leadership content), lean landscape 16:9. If your content performs best on mobile scrolling feeds, 4:5 vertical is the current sweet spot: enough screen real estate to command attention, without forcing the viewer into a different playback mode.

Quick reference

Format	Dimensions	Ratio	Best for
Square	1080x1080	1:1	Safe default across devices
Vertical	1080x1350	4:5	Mobile feed
Landscape	1920x1080	16:9	Desktop, presentations
Full vertical	1080x1920	9:16	Reels-style mobile content

The immersive player tradeoff

LinkedIn's full 9:16 vertical format triggers the same kind of full-screen, sound-on immersive viewer that TikTok and Instagram Reels use, which pulls a viewer's full attention onto the video but also removes the surrounding post context, your headline, your comment section, while it plays. On a professional network where the caption often carries the argument and the video supports it, that tradeoff is worth weighing before defaulting to full vertical just because it is available. Square and 4:5 keep more of the post visible around the video, which fits LinkedIn's read-and-scroll habits better for most B2B content.

Publishing across formats

If you are repurposing the same video for LinkedIn and a vertical-first platform like TikTok or Instagram, resize once with the social media image resizer rather than re-exporting separately for each. Check your accompanying post text against the LinkedIn character counter and schedule through the LinkedIn scheduler. Sign up free to manage LinkedIn video alongside nine other platforms.
