ImgWrench's LinkedIn banner resizer turns any image into the 1584×396 cover image LinkedIn recommends for your profile, as a JPG or PNG under LinkedIn's 8MB limit.

How to resize your LinkedIn banner

  1. Drop your image into the tool above.
  2. Choose Cover or Crop to frame the wide 1584×396 strip.
  3. Keep your message in the centre, clear of your profile photo.
  4. Download the image and add it as your profile's cover image.

LinkedIn's banner rules

LinkedIn's help page "Add or change the cover image on your profile" recommends 1584×396 pixels, as a JPG or PNG file under 8MB. It notes that how the image appears may change with the size of your browser window and screen resolution, and the cover sits behind your profile photo.

Designing a 4:1 banner

At four times as wide as it is tall, the banner suits a simple background, a short line of text or a row of logos. Leave the edges for background only: they're the first part to be trimmed on smaller screens.

Why ImgWrench

Frequently asked questions

How do I resize an image for a LinkedIn banner?

Drop your image into the tool above. Choose Cover to fill the 1584×396 frame or Crop to pick the exact strip you want, keeping the important part in the middle. The tool exports a JPG and checks it against LinkedIn's 8MB limit. Download it and add it as the cover image in your profile's introduction section.

What size is a LinkedIn banner?

LinkedIn recommends 1584×396 pixels for the profile cover image, also called the background photo, as a JPG or PNG file under 8MB. That's a 4:1 strip, much wider than most photos, so plan to crop. This tool makes exactly that size from any image.

Why does my LinkedIn banner look cut off?

LinkedIn says how the cover image appears can change with the size of your browser window and screen resolution, and your profile photo sits in front of it. Keep text and logos near the centre and away from the edges and the area behind your profile photo, so they stay visible on every screen.

Should a LinkedIn banner be JPG or PNG?

Both are accepted, under 8MB. JPG keeps photographic banners small; PNG keeps text and logos sharp. The tool exports JPG; if your banner is mostly text or flat colour, convert the result with the JPG to PNG converter, or keep your design as a PNG from the start.

Can I make a LinkedIn company page cover too?

Yes, but company Pages use a different shape: LinkedIn recommends a 1512×256 cover image and a 400×400 logo, up to 3MB each. The LinkedIn company page tool makes both from your artwork. Your personal banner stays 1584×396, so crop each one separately.

Are my images uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything happens in your browser: ImgWrench resizes your images on your own device, and they are never sent to a server or stored anywhere else. You can confirm this yourself by opening your browser's network tab while you use the tool and checking that no request carries your image data.
