LinkedIn profile photo vs background banner โ different requirements explained
Your profile photo (400ร400) is displayed as a circle on LinkedIn โ use Fill mode to crop your image to square without borders, ensuring your face is centred. The background banner (1584ร396) is a very wide, panoramic image โ use Fill mode for most photos, or Fit with a coloured background if you want a designed banner with text space.
For post images, the 1200ร627 ratio appears inline in the feed without cropping. Using the correct dimensions prevents LinkedIn from auto-cropping or displaying your post image with awkward borders.
Tips for a professional LinkedIn profile image
A high-quality, correctly sized profile photo increases profile views significantly on LinkedIn. Use a 400ร400 square image with your face occupying 60โ80% of the frame, a neutral or blurred background, and professional attire. Upload as JPG (under 8MB) for best quality. Avoid selfies or group photos cropped to a face.
