LinkedIn banner size in 2026 (+ a free banner generator)
Your banner is the biggest piece of real estate on your profile, and most people leave it on the default blue gradient. Fixing that is a five-minute win. Here’s the exact size, the safe zone to design within, and the fastest way to make one that looks designed.
The correct LinkedIn banner size
The personal profile banner is 1584×396 pixels — a wide 4:1 ratio. Always export at that size (or a larger multiple of it) so it stays crisp on high-resolution screens. For company pages, the cover image is 1128×191.
Mind the safe zone
LinkedIn crops and overlays the banner differently on mobile and desktop, and your profile photo covers the lower-left on desktop. So:
- Keep your name and key words in the upper and right portion.
- Leave the lower-left clear — your profile photo sits there.
- Don’t put anything critical right at the edges; mobile trims them.
What to put on it
One clear message. Your name or brand, a single line on what you do and who you help, two or three keywords, and your logo or brand colour. Resist the urge to cram — a banner is a billboard you glance at, not a slide you read.
Generate one in your brand — in HD
You don’t need Photoshop. PersonaLink’s profile beautifier generates a professional 1584×396 banner from your name, designation, a tagline and a few keywords — in your brand colour, font and logo — and lets you download it in high resolution (rendered at 3× so it’s razor-sharp on any screen). Pick a theme, hit generate, download, done.
