How to Make a LinkedIn Banner (1584×396, Mobile-Safe)

A LinkedIn banner is 1584×396 (a very wide 4:1), but mobile crops it to the centre — so a beautifully designed banner can turn into a random slice of your edge artwork. Centre-first design plus exact sizing fixes it.

The short version

Follow the steps below with the free Resize LinkedIn Banner tool — it runs entirely in your browser, needs no upload, account or watermark, and finishes in about a minute.

Step by step

1
Design inside the centre 60%

Keep text, logos and the value proposition in the middle of the canvas.

2
Resize to 1584×396

The LinkedIn resizer applies the exact personal-banner size (Company Pages: 1128×191).

3
Mind the avatar overlap

Your profile photo covers the lower-left on many views — do not put a phone number there.

4
Compress lightly and upload

PNG banners often arrive heavy; a quality-90 JPEG is invisible at banner scale and uploads instantly.

Pro tips & common mistakes

  • One line of message beats a collage — the strip is only about 3 cm tall on a laptop.
  • Darker left side helps white headline text over your avatar.
  • Recycle the same 4:1 master for Twitter/X headers (1500×500) with one re-resize.

Exact LinkedIn banner size?
1584×396 px personal, 1128×191 px for Company Pages, both under 8 MB.

Can I resize an existing wide photo?
Yes — crop to 4:1 then resize; the resizer keeps the ratio locked.
