The best LinkedIn post image size is 1080 pixels wide; LinkedIn accepts any ratio from 3:1 (wide) to 4:5 (portrait), and a 1080 × 1350 portrait image takes up the most space in the feed. Images must be at least 552 × 276 pixels and under 5 MB, and you can add up to 20 in one post. Link previews use 1200 × 627, your profile banner is 1584 × 396, and a company page cover is 1512 × 256.
Below is every size, from LinkedIn's help pages, with notes on what gets cropped. Checked on 10 November 2026.

LinkedIn post image size
LinkedIn recommends images 1080 pixels wide. The height is up to you, within a ratio of 3:1 (very wide) to 4:5 (portrait). Which to pick:
- Portrait, 1080 × 1350 (4:5): the most screen space in the feed, especially on phones. Best for charts, quotes and photos of people.
- Square, 1080 × 1080 (1:1): looks the same everywhere and reuses well on Instagram and other networks.
- Landscape, 1200 × 627 (1.91:1): takes up the least space. Use it for screenshots and wide photos.
Images narrower than 552 × 276 are refused, and files over 5 MB won't upload. JPG or PNG are the safest formats.
Multi-image posts
You can add up to 20 images to one post. LinkedIn arranges them in a grid in the feed (the first few, with a "+" count for the rest) and shows them at up to 4:5. Put your most important image first, keep all images the same ratio, and keep text away from the edges, because grid tiles are cropped.
LinkedIn carousel (document post) size
LinkedIn's native "carousel" today is a document post: you upload a PDF (or PowerPoint or Word file) and readers swipe through its pages. Documents can be up to 300 pages.
- Page size: design each page at 1080 × 1350 (4:5) or 1080 × 1080 (1:1). These aren't LinkedIn requirements, but they fill the feed and stay readable on phones.
- Text size: at least about 40 pixels on a 1080-wide page, or it's unreadable on a phone.
- Export: a PDF with all pages the same size. Keep it to the pages that earn a swipe; 8 to 12 is plenty for most.
- Title: LinkedIn asks for a document title, shown at the top of the carousel.
LinkedIn link preview image size
When you share a link, LinkedIn builds a card from the page's og:image. LinkedIn asks for 1200 × 627 pixels (1.91:1), up to 5 MB. If the image is wrong or missing, the fix is on the web page, not in LinkedIn: see our guide to LinkedIn Post Inspector.
LinkedIn banner size (profile background)
Your profile background is 1584 × 396 pixels (4:1), under 8 MB. The catch is your profile photo, which sits over the lower-left corner, and phones crop the banner further.
Keep text and logos in the right two-thirds, away from the lower-left. Download our LinkedIn banner template (1584 × 396 PNG), put it on the top layer in your editor, and hide it before you export.
LinkedIn company page image sizes
From LinkedIn's Page help:
- Logo: 400 × 400 recommended, at least 268 × 268. Transparent PNGs are shown on white, so check your logo works on a white background.
- Cover image: 1512 × 256. LinkedIn advises keeping key details away from the edges, especially the lower-right corner, which may be cropped on different screens.
- Life tab main image: 1128 × 376 (needs Career Pages).
- Life tab company photos: 900 × 600 recommended, at least 264 × 176.
- All page images: PNG or JPEG, up to 3 MB. A high-resolution JPEG usually looks sharper than a PNG.
LinkedIn video size
| Spec | |
|---|---|
| Resolution | 256 × 144 to 4096 × 2304 |
| Shape | Vertical 4:5 or square 1:1 take up the most room in the feed |
| Length | 3 seconds to 10 minutes (up to 15 minutes from a computer) |
| File size | Up to 5 GB |
| Format | MP4 |
