A banner that fits, without guessing
The background photo on a LinkedIn profile is a long, thin strip, four times as wide as it is tall. Most pictures aren’t that shape, so an upload gets cropped where LinkedIn decides, or stretched and blurred. This tool lets you choose exactly which strip of your picture to keep, then makes it at 1584 × 396 pixels, the size LinkedIn recommends, ready to upload.
How to make your banner
- Choose a picture, JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF or BMP, up to 50 MB.
- Drag the box over the strip you want and resize it from a corner. It always keeps the 4:1 shape.
- Pick JPG or PNG, press Make the banner, and download it.
- On LinkedIn, open your profile, choose the camera icon on the background, and upload the file.
Choosing a good picture
- Wide scenes work best: a skyline, a workspace, a landscape, a pattern. A tall photo leaves only a thin slice to choose from.
- Start big: a picture at least 1584 pixels wide stays sharp. A smaller one is enlarged and may look soft; the tool still makes it.
- Mind the profile photo: your round photo covers part of the lower left, and phones crop the sides. Keep anything important near the middle or the right.
Text on the banner
If your picture has words on it, such as your name, a slogan or a website, save it as PNG so the letters stay sharp, and check the result at phone size before you upload. Small text that reads well on a laptop can be hard to read on a phone.
Ideas for a banner
A banner works like a backdrop: it sets the scene without competing with your photo. Good choices include a photo of your workplace or your work, a city or landscape that means something to you, a clean texture in your brand colors, or a simple graphic with one line about what you do. Avoid busy pictures full of small details: shrunk to a strip, they turn into noise.
Good to know
- Phone photos turned sideways come out the right way up, and camera details such as location aren’t copied into the banner.
- Other sizes: for any other size or shape, use Crop Image and the Image Resizer.
