LinkedIn Banner Size Guide (2026)
Personal profile and company-page banner dimensions, with the practical layout rules that prevent cropped copy.
The recommended size for a personal LinkedIn banner is 1584 x 396 pixels, which creates a 4:1 aspect ratio. For company pages, the banner size is 1128 x 191 pixels. The design challenge is not just dimensions. It is safe-zone control across desktop and mobile layouts.
LinkedIn banner dimensions
| Banner type | Aspect ratio | Recommended size | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Personal profile banner | 4:1 | 1584 x 396 | Most common creator and consultant use case. |
| Company page banner | Approx. 5.9:1 | 1128 x 191 | Tighter vertical space and more compressed messaging. |
| Mobile rendering | Responsive crop | Varies by device | Center-safe design matters more than edge detail. |
Where people usually get this wrong
- placing the headline too far left where the avatar overlaps
- using fine text or low-contrast typography that breaks on mobile
- treating the full width as safe when the edges are more likely to crop
Safe-zone rule of thumb
Keep primary copy in the middle band of the image and avoid relying on the lower-left corner. If the design only works when text is near the edge, it is not safe enough for LinkedIn's real-world rendering behavior.
If you are publishing weekly banners or campaign updates, build one clean center-safe template and reuse it instead of starting from scratch every time.
Best export settings
- use PNG for flat-color or text-heavy layouts
- use JPG when photography dominates the composition
- keep the file clean and readable at mobile size before uploading
