Resize Images for LinkedIn Posts & Articles
LinkedIn is a professional platform where image quality reflects on your brand. Posts with properly sized images (1200x627) get 2x more engagement than text-only posts. ImageGates resizes your images to LinkedIn's exact specifications for a polished professional presence.
LinkedIn feed image sizes and the mobile crop
LinkedIn's feed renders images at about 552 px wide on desktop and full width on mobile. Portrait 4:5 images occupy the most vertical space in the feed without being cropped, which is why they outperform landscape for single-image posts.
Exact specifications:
- Recommended landscape: 1200×627 px (1.91:1)
- Square: 1200×1200 px
- Portrait (max feed height): 1080×1350 px (4:5)
- File size ceiling: 5 MB
- Accepted formats: JPG, PNG, GIF
What causes a rejected or degraded result:
- Uploading a 16:9 slide of dense text that becomes unreadable at 552 px wide.
- Using images taller than 4:5, which LinkedIn crops in the feed.
- Exporting a chart as JPG — flat-colour charts band badly; PNG is the correct format.
Preparation order that avoids rework:
- Choose 4:5 for a single image, 1:1 for a carousel-style set.
- Resize to 1080×1350 or 1200×1200 exactly.
- Keep text to a headline-sized minimum — assume the reader sees it at phone width.
