LinkedIn post image size and dimensions for every format

LinkedIn post image size

LinkedIn recommends images 1080 pixels wide. Within that width, the height decides how much of the feed your post covers:

The rules behind those sizes, from LinkedIn Help:

• Minimum size: 552 x 276 pixels. Small, low-resolution images can show in low quality.
• Ratio: anything from 3:1 (wide) to 4:5 (tall). A taller image, like a 9:16 phone screenshot, is centered and cropped to 4:5.
• File size: 5 MB per image.
• No edits after posting: once the post is live, you can't resize or re-crop the photo.

Resize an image to the right LinkedIn size

Pick the format, drop your image, then drag it to choose what stays in the frame. Use Fit whole image for screenshots or slides that can't lose their edges. It runs in your browser, so your image isn't uploaded anywhere.

LinkedIn image sizes cheat sheet

Every image LinkedIn asks for, in one table:

How LinkedIn displays posts with multiple images

You can add up to 20 images to one post. LinkedIn shows each image at a ratio of 4:5 at most, and the first image gets the most space, so its shape decides the whole layout:

• Two images sit side by side and keep their own ratios.
• First image landscape (wider than 4:3): it spans the top of the post, and the others line up side by side underneath.
• First image square or portrait: it fills the left column, and the others stack on the right.

So if you share a set of event photos, lead with the one that tells the story, and keep it square or portrait to give it the big slot.

LinkedIn carousel size

A LinkedIn carousel is a document post: you upload a PDF (or a PowerPoint or Word file) and LinkedIn shows it as swipeable pages. LinkedIn's limits for documents:

• 100 MB and 300 pages at most.
• One document per post.
• Every page the same size. Mixed page sizes have to be fitted to one size before upload.
• Flatten layered PDFs, and export to PDF when you can: it gives the cleanest result.

LinkedIn doesn't publish a page size for documents. 1080 x 1350 pixels (4:5) is the usual choice, for the same reason as photos: it's the tallest shape and covers the most screen on mobile. 1080 x 1080 works too if your slides are built square.

Once the document is posted, you can edit the post text but not the file. To fix a slide, delete the post and upload the corrected PDF.

LinkedIn video size

For videos in a post, LinkedIn accepts:

Square and vertical videos take more feed space on mobile than wide 16:9 ones. Keep text and logos away from the edges, where LinkedIn's interface can cover them.

LinkedIn profile picture and cover image size

• Profile photo: between 400 x 400 and 7680 x 4320 pixels, up to 8 MB. Use a square image with your face in the middle, since LinkedIn shows it as a circle. Our LinkedIn profile picture size guide covers framing and backgrounds.
• Cover image (background photo): 1584 x 396 pixels, up to 8 MB.
• Both must be PNG or JPG. GIFs aren't supported on your profile.

Your profile photo sits over the bottom left of the cover image, and covers about a third of its width on a phone. Keep text and logos in the right 60%, and check yours with the preview in our LinkedIn banner size guide.

LinkedIn Company Page image sizes

Company Page images must be PNG or JPEG, 3 MB max. LinkedIn recommends a high-resolution JPEG for the sharpest result.

The cover image gets trimmed on some screens, so keep key details away from the edges, especially the lower-right corner. Your logo shows on light and dark backgrounds, and a transparent logo gets a white background, so check that it reads on both.

LinkedIn article and newsletter image sizes

• Article cover image: 1920 x 1080 pixels (16:9).
• Newsletter logo: 300 x 300 pixels.
• Newsletter edition cover: 1920 x 1080 pixels, like an article.

LinkedIn link preview image size

When you paste a link, LinkedIn builds the preview from the page you're sharing. For a custom image on a Page post with a URL, LinkedIn recommends 1200 x 627 pixels (1.91:1). An image under 200 pixels wide shows as a small thumbnail on the left instead of a full-width preview.

A post shows either a link preview or your own image. If you add an image, a URL in your text stays clickable but no preview card appears, so pick the one that matters most: the preview built from your page, or your own visual.

Why your LinkedIn image looks blurry or cropped

It's too small. LinkedIn needs at least 552 x 276 pixels and shows small, low-resolution images in low quality. Export at the 1080 pixels wide LinkedIn recommends, or more.

It's taller than 4:5. Phone screenshots and 9:16 visuals get cropped to 4:5 in a post. Resize them to 1080 x 1350, or fit them on a background with the resizer above.

It's heavier than the limit. Files over 5 MB won't upload in a post. Save as JPG instead of PNG for photos, which cuts the size without a visible loss.

The text is too close to the edges. Cover images get trimmed to fit different screens. Keep words and faces in the center.

It's already posted. LinkedIn doesn't let you resize a photo after publishing, so check the size before you post.

Schedule the post once the image is ready

A resized image is half the work. In the MyFeedIn post scheduler, you write the post, add your images or a PDF carousel, and pick the day and time on a calendar. The post goes out on time, and its impressions and comments show up next to it once it's live.

If you prefer LinkedIn's built-in scheduler, our guide on how to schedule a post on LinkedIn covers desktop, mobile and Company Pages, and the best time to post on LinkedIn helps you pick the slot.
