LinkedIn Image Sizes & Formats: Avoid Cropping or Blurring
LinkedIn has strict image requirements, get it wrong, and your visuals get cropped or compressed. Here’s the exact specs for 2026:
- Post images: 1200 x 627px (1.91:1 ratio). Max 8MB (PNG or JPG).
- Article headers: 1920 x 1080px (16:9). Use high-res to avoid pixelation.
- Profile banners: 1584 x 396px (4:1). Critical for first impressions.
- Ads: Varies by type (e.g., carousel ads require 1080 x 1080px square format).
Pro Tip
FluxNote’s Image Studio auto-resizes outputs to these dimensions. Select ‘LinkedIn’ preset to avoid manual adjustments. A 2025 LinkedIn study found 47% of users scroll past misformatted images precision matters.
