Resize LinkedIn Profile Banner Image
Your LinkedIn banner is your professional billboard — the first visual impression on your profile. At 1584x396 pixels, it needs to convey your expertise, brand, or value proposition instantly. ImageGates resizes any image to LinkedIn's exact banner dimensions.
LinkedIn banner dimensions for profiles and company pages
Personal profile banners and company page banners use different aspect ratios, and both are overlapped by the profile photo in the lower-left on desktop. Designing to one and uploading to the other is the most common cause of a stretched banner.
Exact specifications:
- Personal profile banner: 1584×396 px (4:1)
- Company page banner: 1128×191 px
- Profile photo overlap: lower-left, ≈160×160 px on desktop
- File size ceiling: 8 MB
- Accepted formats: JPG, PNG, GIF
What causes a rejected or degraded result:
- Centring text horizontally — the mobile app crops the sides of a 4:1 banner.
- Placing content in the lower-left, where the avatar covers it.
- Uploading a 1128×191 company banner to a personal profile, which stretches it.
Preparation order that avoids rework:
- Confirm whether it is a personal or company banner before designing.
- Keep essential content in the upper-right two thirds.
- Resize to 1584×396 px and check on mobile, where the visible strip is narrower.
