Resize an Image for LinkedIn Profile Banner
1584 × 396 pixels — the exact size LinkedIn Profile Banner expects.
The dimensions
1584 × 396 pixels, an aspect ratio of about 4.00:1. A 4:1 ratio, the widest banner on this list, which makes it easy to misjudge.
Crop, and what you will lose
The profile photo sits over the lower-left area and the headline over the lower band, so useful content belongs in the upper two thirds.
The widest banner here, and why it matters
At 4:1 the banner is 1584 pixels wide and only 396 tall. A file exported from a 16:9 photo and stretched into it loses nearly two thirds of its height, which is why an image that looked fine in an editor often arrives with the subject's head cut off. Design the banner at its own proportions rather than cropping into them.
How to crop it here
Selecting cover scales your image uniformly until it fills the 1584 × 396 rectangle, then trims the overflow from the centre. Contain would leave empty bands instead, which is wrong for an image meant to fill a frame, and stretch would distort faces.
Why this runs in your browser
The file is read from your disk by the browser, decoded with the browser's own codecs, and re-encoded in this tab. No upload request is made, nothing is queued on a server, and closing the tab leaves no copy anywhere. You can verify this in the network panel while it works.
How to use it
- Drop the image on the drop zone.
- Choose the LinkedIn Profile Banner preset, or type 1584 and 396 directly.
- Set cover mode so the frame is filled without distortion.
- Check the crop keeps the subject centred, then download.
Worth knowing
- Target dimensions are 1584 × 396 pixels, ratio 4.00:1.
- Used for profile background.
- Cover fills the frame and crops the overflow; contain letterboxes instead.
- Aspect ratio is preserved in every mode except stretch.
Limitations
- Cropping is from the centre — frame the photo before uploading if the subject is off-centre.
- Upscaling beyond the original size adds no detail.
- Very small sources will look soft at 1584 pixels wide.
- Platforms change their internal dimensions without notice; these are current published figures.
