LinkedIn banner preview
See your banner on desktop and on a phone, with your photo where LinkedIn puts it, before you upload anything to your profile.

Where your profile photo covers the banner
Keep text and logos out of both shapes. On a phone, the profile photo covers about a third of the banner's width.
Check your LinkedIn banner before it goes live. Add your banner, and your profile photo if you like, to see it on desktop and on a phone, with the photo exactly where LinkedIn places it. The tool also checks the size, the ratio and the file limits. Nothing is uploaded: it all runs in your browser.
How to use the LinkedIn banner preview
- Pick the banner type: your personal profile (1584 x 396) or a Company Page (1512 x 256).
- Add your banner by dropping it on the tool, pasting it or clicking to upload.
- Add your photo or logo to see the real overlap, not a placeholder.
- Check the covered areas. The last view shows the parts of the banner your photo covers on desktop and on a phone. Anything important inside those shapes needs to move.
- Read the checks for ratio, width, file size and format, and fix what's flagged before uploading.
What the preview shows
On LinkedIn's web layout, the full banner stays visible on every screen size. The part that changes is your photo: it covers about a sixth of the banner's width on desktop and about a third on a phone, in the bottom left. That's why a banner that looks fine on your laptop can have its text hidden on your phone.
| Banner | Photo on desktop covers | Photo on a phone covers |
|---|---|---|
| Profile (1584 x 396) | x 65 to 324 px, from y 259 px down | x 98 to 621 px, from y 86 px down |
| Company Page (1512 x 256) | x 46 to 294 px, from y 111 px down | x 62 to 561 px, from y 128 px down |
For a profile banner, the simple rule is to keep text and logos to the right of x = 640 px.
Fix a banner that doesn't fit
If the checks flag the ratio or the width, open the LinkedIn image resizer, pick the cover image format and crop or fit your image to the exact size. For the full list of dimensions, what to put on your banner and how to change it, read our guide to the LinkedIn banner size.
No. The preview runs entirely in your browser. Your banner and photo are displayed from your own device and never sent to MyFeedIn or LinkedIn.
The photo positions come from LinkedIn's web profile and Page layouts, measured at desktop and phone screen widths in September 2026. The banner is shown centered, the way LinkedIn displays it before you reposition it in its editor. The LinkedIn mobile app can differ slightly, so take a last look on your phone after uploading.
1584 x 396 pixels (a 4:1 ratio) for a personal profile, in JPG or PNG, up to 8 MB. A Company Page banner is 1512 x 256 pixels, up to 3 MB.
On LinkedIn's web layout, the whole banner stays visible at every screen width. What changes is your profile photo: it covers about a sixth of the banner's width on desktop and about a third on a phone. Keep text and logos in the right 60% of the banner.
The preview shows how much LinkedIn will crop. To fix it, open the free LinkedIn image resizer, pick the profile cover format, and crop or fit your image to the exact size.
