Frequently Asked Questions

What size should a LinkedIn cover photo be?

LinkedIn profile cover photos display at 1584×396 pixels with a 4:1 aspect ratio. Upload any size photo and this tool will automatically resize and crop it to the perfect LinkedIn banner dimensions.

Where is the safe zone for a LinkedIn banner?

Your circular profile photo overlaps the bottom-left corner of the banner. Keep important text and logos at least 300 pixels from the left edge (experience-based guideline; LinkedIn does not publish official safe-zone measurements). The center-right two-thirds of the canvas is the safest area for critical content.

What file format should I use for my LinkedIn cover?

JPG is best for photos and produces smaller files. Use PNG only if your banner contains graphics or text overlays. LinkedIn accepts both formats with a maximum file size of 8MB.

Will my photo metadata be removed?

Yes. All EXIF metadata including GPS location, camera model, and timestamp are automatically stripped from your output cover photo. Your processed image contains only the visual data.
