LinkedIn Banner Size 2026: Profile and Company Page

LinkedIn banner size for personal profiles and company pages, logo and post dimensions, plus what to put on your banner so it actually works.

Published 6 October 2026 by Web Hippo in Social Media

The LinkedIn banner size for a personal profile is 1584 × 396 pixels. A company page uses a different, wider cover of 1512 × 256 pixels. Most people get the dimensions right and still end up with a banner that doesn't work, because their profile photo sits on top of the text or because the banner says nothing a visitor cares about.

This guide gives every current LinkedIn image size, shows where the dead zones are, and suggests what to put on the banner depending on your role.

LinkedIn Image Sizes at a Glance

The company page figures come from LinkedIn's Page help article. Older guides list 1128 × 191 for company covers, which is outdated. Some recent guides suggest 4200 × 700. That has the same ratio as 1512 × 256 at a higher resolution, and either works.

Personal LinkedIn Banner: Where the Dead Zones Are

Your profile photo overlaps the lower-left of the banner on both desktop and the mobile app. On a 1584 × 396 canvas, treat roughly the left 500 pixels of the bottom half as covered. Mobile also shows the banner smaller and trims a little from the edges.

Right half: the safest place for text, such as a tagline, a URL or a short proof point.
Centre: fine for imagery or a simple graphic.
Lower-left: leave empty or use plain background, because your photo will cover it.
Outer 40 pixels on each side: keep clear, since mobile crops slightly.

What to Put on Your LinkedIn Banner

Your headline already says what your job is. The banner does the next job: it tells a visitor, within a second, whether you are relevant to them. One clear line beats a collage.

The example lines are illustrations. Replace them with your own real positioning and numbers. Claims such as "200+ clients" should be true and ideally shown elsewhere on your profile.

Company Page Cover: Keep It Simple

At 1512 × 256 the company cover is a very thin strip, and the logo overlaps it on the left. It suits one short line of positioning, or a clean brand image with no text at all. A campaign banner ("Diwali offer: 20% off") also works well here, as long as you replace it when the campaign ends. An out-of-date offer on your company page looks careless.

Common Mistakes

Leaving LinkedIn's default blue banner. It signals an inactive profile.
Placing text in the lower-left, where the profile photo hides it.
Too much text. At mobile size, anything beyond about eight words becomes hard to read.
Low-resolution stretched images. Start with at least 1584 px of width.
Using the personal size for a company page. The shapes differ, so a 4:1 image gets cropped heavily.
