How to resize an image for LinkedIn
LinkedIn is the one feed here built around a wide landscape image, and it also has the most extreme header in the set. A 1200x627 post and a 1584x396 banner are not two versions of one file; they need different compositions from the start.
- Start from the largest original you have, not a copy already exported for somewhere else. Every export is another lossy pass and they stack up.
- Pick the preset you are genuinely posting to. There are 5 LinkedIn sizes here, starting with the feed post at 1200x627px.
- Choose Cover to fill the frame, which trims the long edge evenly from both sides, or Contain to keep the whole picture and pad the gap. Contain pads white, so a photo destined for a dark layout shows a white border.
- If you export JPEG, remember it has no transparency: a logo with a transparent background lands on a white square. That is the one case worth going back for PNG.
- For a banner, run it through with Contain first. That shows how little of the picture a 4:1 strip actually keeps before you commit to Cover.
- Look at the banner with your profile photo in place, because the avatar sits over its lower left and hides anything you put there.
Every LinkedIn image size, and the ratio each one forces
Five sizes, and two of them are strips rather than pictures. The ratios below are what the crop is really doing to whatever you feed it.
- Feed post: 1200x627px, a ratio of 1.91:1. Standard shared image.
- Profile banner: 1584x396px, a ratio of 4:1. Heavily cropped on mobile.
- Profile photo: 400x400px, a ratio of 1:1. Displayed as a circle.
- Company logo: 400x400px, a ratio of 1:1. Square company page logo.
- Company cover: 1512x256px, a ratio of 5.91:1. Company page header.
- 1200x627 is both the feed image and the shape LinkedIn uses for a shared link’s preview, so one export does both jobs.
- The profile banner is 4:1. Cover takes a horizontal band out of the middle of an ordinary photograph and discards the sky and the ground with it.
- A company cover at 1512x256 is close to six times as wide as it is tall. Only a simple wordmark or a flat texture reads at that shape.
- A personal photo and a company logo are both 400x400 squares, but LinkedIn caps a page image at 3 MB, so a logo exported for print will be refused where the same pixels as a JPEG go through.
What goes wrong when the size is off on LinkedIn
LinkedIn images fail quietly because the platform is forgiving about what it accepts and unforgiving about how it displays it.
- A banner built from a portrait photograph: there is simply nothing left to keep. Start from something wide, or from a flat background with type on one side.
- A logo exported as JPEG: LinkedIn draws logos on white cards, where JPEG artefacts around hard edges are visible. PNG is the right export for a mark.
- A tall screenshot posted to the feed: LinkedIn gives a landscape image the column’s full width, so a portrait one is rendered small and the text inside it is lost.
When resizing is not the answer
This tool changes dimensions. It does not redesign, and on LinkedIn the two header sizes are design problems rather than resize problems.
- A 400x400 logo cannot be made from a 100x100 favicon. The tool warns you when the source is smaller than the target, but the real fix is the vector file.
- If a banner has to carry text, set that text at 1584x396 in a design tool and export once. Shrinking a finished graphic into the strip shrinks the type with it.
The rest of the job

Frequently asked questions
How this tool works, what it cannot do, and what happens to what you put into it.
What image size does LinkedIn use?
The sizes this tool offers are LinkedIn's own recommendations: Feed post at 1200x627px, Profile banner at 1584x396px, Profile photo at 400x400px. Picking a preset resizes your image to exactly those pixels.Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No. The file is read, resized and exported by your own browser using a canvas. It never reaches a server, so there is nothing to delete afterwards.Will resizing make my image blurry?
Scaling down is lossless-looking; scaling a small image up cannot invent detail, so start from the largest original you have. The tool tells you when your source is smaller than the target.Which format should I export?
PNG for graphics, text and screenshots; JPEG for photographs, where it is far smaller at the same visible quality. Both are offered after resizing.Is my data private?
Yes. This tool does its work in your browser, so whatever you type, paste or upload stays on your device. Nothing is sent to our servers, which is also why it keeps working if you go offline after the page has loaded.Is this really free?
Yes. Every tool here is free with no account, no credit card and no usage cap. They exist so that the people who need our scheduling product find us, which only works if the tools are genuinely useful on their own.Do I need an account?
No. Open the page and use it. An account is only for OctoSpark itself, where you plan, schedule and publish a whole calendar rather than fixing one post at a time.Can I use the output commercially?
Yes. Anything you produce here is yours, including for client and commercial work. We claim no rights over it and we do not watermark it.
