LinkedIn recommends profile photos at 400x400px minimum, up to 8MB. For best display, use a square JPEG at 400-800px under 200KB. LinkedIn re-compresses uploads — starting with a clean compressed file reduces visible artifacts on your profile.

LinkedIn banner images display at 1584x396px. Upload at least 1584px wide. For file size, aim for under 500KB as JPEG or WebP. LinkedIn crops the banner on mobile, so keep important content centered.

Upload your photo, select JPEG format, set Exact KB Mode to 200KB, and click Compress. This produces a clean file that LinkedIn will not over-compress when you upload it to your profile or company page.

What image format does LinkedIn accept?

LinkedIn accepts JPEG, PNG, and GIF for profile and cover photos. JPEG is recommended for profile photos. PNG works well for company logos and graphics with transparent backgrounds.

Why Compress Your LinkedIn Photo Before Uploading?

LinkedIn automatically re-compresses every photo you upload. If you upload a large, unoptimized file, LinkedIn applies its own aggressive compression — often resulting in a noticeably blurry or pixelated profile photo. Pre-compressing to a clean 150-200KB JPEG gives LinkedIn less room to degrade your image, and the result is a visibly sharper profile photo.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size should a LinkedIn banner be?

1584x396px, under 500KB as JPEG. Keep important content (logo, text) centered — LinkedIn crops the banner differently on mobile vs desktop.
