What size should a LinkedIn post image be?
LinkedIn’s API accepts JPG, GIF and PNG images under 36,152,320 pixels (GIFs up to 250 frames), and a multi-image post holds 2 to 20 of them. LinkedIn does not publish one required feed size; a 4:5 portrait or a square image takes the most room in the feed, and 1.91:1 suits wide images and link posts. Keep one ratio across a multi-image post.
| Post image | Size to use | LinkedIn’s rule |
|---|---|---|
| Portrait | 1080 × 1350 (4:5) | JPG, PNG or GIF under 36,152,320 pixels |
| Square | 1200 × 1200 (1:1) | JPG, PNG or GIF under 36,152,320 pixels |
| Landscape or link image | 1200 × 627 (1.91:1) | Wider than 200 px for a Page’s custom link image |
| Multi-image post | The same ratio for every image | 2 to 20 images |
What size is a LinkedIn profile photo and cover image?
Your profile photo must be a PNG or JPG up to 8 MB, between 400 × 400 and 7680 × 4320 pixels; it shows as a circle, so keep your face in the centre. The cover image behind it is a JPG or PNG under 8 MB, recommended at 1584 × 396 pixels. On a phone the photo overlaps the cover’s lower left, so keep text away from that corner.
| Image | Size | File |
|---|---|---|
| Profile photo | 400 × 400 to 7680 × 4320 px | PNG or JPG, up to 8 MB |
| Profile cover | 1584 × 396 px recommended | JPG or PNG, under 8 MB |
