Where the sizes come from

Only what LinkedIn states itself

Every size in the list was read on one of LinkedIn's own help pages, which is linked next to it, and checked on 5 October 2026. Sizes that only circulate in blog posts are not here. LinkedIn also crops and scales what you upload to fit different screens, so an image made to its own stated size is the one that survives that best.

A photo in an ordinary post

LinkedIn's help gives no pixel size for it, only a frame: between 3:1 and 4:5, width to height, outside which the image is centred and cropped, with at least 552 × 276 pixels recommended and uploads of up to 5 MB (Tag people in your photos, checked on 5 October 2026; a page LinkedIn itself marks as last updated four years ago). The three ad sizes all fall inside that frame, so landscape 1.91:1, square and 4:5 are safe shapes for a post as well.

How the crop works

At zoom 1 the picture just covers the frame, so nothing is stretched and no border is added; zooming in shows less of it, larger. Drag the picture, or use the sliders, to choose which part is in the frame. The download draws exactly that part at the format's pixel size. When the part you chose has fewer pixels than the format needs, the result is enlarged and looks soft; the page says so before you download.

PNG or JPEG

PNG keeps every pixel and transparency, and makes larger files; JPEG makes much smaller files, which is what a photo needs, and has no transparency, so a transparent logo gets a white background. Wherever LinkedIn's help pages name file types, PNG and JPEG are among them, and most of the sizes come with a file limit: 8 MB on the profile, 3 MB on a Page, 5 MB for an ad. The page shows the size of the file it made and says when it is over the limit for the format.

Privacy

The picture is opened by your browser from your own device, drawn on this page and written out again on your device. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is stored, and there is no account. Close the page and it is gone.
