LinkedIn Image Sizes Guide: Dimensions for 2026

Master the Feed: The Ultimate Guide to LinkedIn Image Sizes

Whether you are building your personal brand, promoting your company page, or launching a targeted thought-leadership campaign, visuals are non-negotiable on LinkedIn. Posts with images generate significantly higher engagement, but there is nothing more frustrating than spending hours crafting a graphic, only to watch LinkedIn crop out your punchline, blur your text, or awkwardly stretch your logo.

To make your content look sharp, professional, and impossible to scroll past, you need to use the exact dimensions LinkedIn’s algorithm and interface expect. Here is the complete breakdown of standard LinkedIn image sizes for 2026.

1. Personal Profile Images

Your profile picture is your digital handshake. It’s the first thing recruiters, potential clients, and industry peers notice.

• Profile Picture: $400 times 400$ pixels (Recommended, though it can handle up to $7680 times 4320$ pixels).
  • Tip: Keep your face centered, occupying about 60% of the frame. Stick to a 1:1 aspect ratio, and ensure the file format is PNG or JPG under 8MB.
• Background / Cover Photo: $1584 times 396$ pixels.
  • Tip: This is a wide 4:1 aspect ratio. Keep in mind that the profile picture sits on top of the bottom-left corner of your banner on desktop, so avoid placing crucial text or logos in that area.

2. Company Pages

Company pages have slightly different layout requirements, particularly for the main branding assets.

• Company Logo: $300 times 300$ pixels (Square, 1:1 aspect ratio).
  • Tip: This will be scaled down into a circle in the feed, so make sure your icon or logo has plenty of padding around the edges.
• Company Cover Photo: $1128 times 191$ pixels.
  • Tip: This banner is narrower than a personal profile cover, so double-check how it scales on mobile devices before locking it in.

3. Shared Posts and Articles

When you share updates, links, or native image posts directly to the feed, the dimensions dictate how much screen real estate you command.

• Standard Shared Image (Square): $1200 times 1200$ pixels (1:1 ratio).
  • Tip: Highly versatile and looks great on both desktop and mobile feeds.
• Landscape Image (Horizontal): $1200 times 627$ pixels (approx. 1.91:1 ratio).
  • Tip: Ideal for landscape photography or website link previews.
• Vertical / Portrait Image: $1080 times 1350$ pixels (4:5 ratio).
  • Tip: Use this whenever possible for feed posts. Vertical images take up more vertical screen space on mobile devices, capturing more attention as users scroll.

4. LinkedIn Carousels (Document Posts)

Document posts—often uploaded as PDFs that render as swipeable carousels—are currently one of the highest-performing content formats on LinkedIn for organic reach.

• Square Document: $1080 times 1080$ pixels (1:1 ratio).
• Portrait Document: $1080 times 1350$ pixels (4:5 ratio).
  • Tip: Design your slides in a tool like Canva or Figma using these exact dimensions, export them as a single PDF file, and upload it as a “Document” post.

Quick Best Practices for Success

• Mind the File Size: Keep images under 5MB to 8MB depending on the asset type to avoid upload errors.
• Stick to PNG or JPG: These offer the best balance of compression and clarity on LinkedIn’s desktop and mobile apps.
• Check the Safe Zones: Always preview your graphics on your phone before hitting publish. Over 60% of LinkedIn traffic happens on mobile devices, where layout presentation can differ slightly from desktop views.
