Enter your image dimensions to see which LinkedIn placements it fits.
LinkedIn automatically compresses and crops uploaded images to fit its layout. If your image does not match the expected dimensions, the result is often a blurry, stretched, or awkwardly cropped image that undermines your professional presence.
Profile photos and banners are among the first things a visitor sees. A sharp, correctly sized profile photo signals professionalism. A well-designed banner communicates your positioning without a single word of explanation.
For post images, the right dimensions mean your content fills more feed space and avoids the blank padding that appears when ratios are wrong — directly affecting impressions and click-through rates.
