What is LinkedIn Banner Resizer?

The LinkedIn Banner Resizer crops and resizes your images to the exact dimensions LinkedIn needs — 1584×396 for a profile cover, or the larger 1536×768 for a company page banner. Pick the banner type, then position your image in the crop area so the important parts stay visible on every device.

Switch between the two banner types and the crop frame locks to that exact ratio — 1584×396 for a personal profile, 1536×768 for a company page. You drag and zoom inside the frame to choose what stays in shot, with a visible safe zone marking where the round profile photo will overlap. Exports are available as PNG, JPEG, WebP, or GIF in the original quality of the source upload.

How to use

1. Upload your source image — any resolution works, the tool handles the resizing.
2. Drag to reposition your image within the 1584×396 crop frame. Use zoom controls to adjust the visible area.
3. Click 'Download' to save the perfectly sized LinkedIn banner as a PNG or JPEG file.

When to use

• Updating your personal LinkedIn header with a conference photo or product shot.
• Designing a company page banner for a new product launch or hiring push.
• Resizing a wide marketing illustration so the most important elements stay outside the avatar overlap zone.

Result

You have a team photo taken at a conference (4000×3000). You switch to the Company banner, upload the photo, zoom out slightly so all team members are visible, drag the crop frame to center the group, and download a crisp 1536×768 banner ready to upload to your LinkedIn company page.

FAQ

Where exactly is LinkedIn's profile avatar going to sit on my banner?

On a profile page the round avatar sits in the lower-left and overlaps the banner by about 200 px on desktop. The safe-zone overlay in the tool marks this area, so keep faces and logos clear of that zone.

What's the smallest source image I can use without quality loss?

For the 1584×396 profile banner, 1584×396 is the minimum at which no upscaling happens (the company banner is larger, at 1536×768). Smaller images will look pixelated on retina displays. Aim for double those dimensions or more if you want crisp rendering on 2x screens like newer MacBooks and phones.

Should I save as PNG or JPEG for a LinkedIn banner?

JPEG is fine for photographs and keeps the file under LinkedIn's 8 MB cap. Use PNG only if the banner has flat colour areas, logos with hard edges, or text — JPEG compression can blur those.

Why does my banner look stretched on mobile?

LinkedIn crops the 1584×396 banner more aggressively on mobile, cutting roughly the outer 30% on each side. Keep your headline, logo, and faces centred to stay visible across all device sizes.

Can I add text directly in this tool?

No — this tool handles crop, zoom, rotate, and export, but not adding text. Set your text in an image editor first (Figma, Photoshop, Canva), then bring the finished image here for the final crop to exact LinkedIn dimensions.
