LinkedIn Photo & Banner Resizer
LinkedIn displays profile photos as a circle cropped from a square, and banners at a wide 4:1 ratio that cuts off carelessly sized images on mobile. Upload your headshot or banner art below at the exact spec, so what recruiters see is what you designed.

Frequently asked questions
Why does my LinkedIn photo look pixelated?
It was uploaded below 400×400 and LinkedIn upscaled it. Use the HD 800×800 preset from a good-quality headshot and the circle crop stays crisp on every screen.
What should be in the banner's safe zone?
On mobile, roughly the outer 15% of each banner side gets cropped, and your circular profile photo overlaps the lower-left on desktop. Keep text and logos in the center-right band.
Does a professional photo actually matter?
LinkedIn's own data has long shown profiles with photos get dramatically more views and messages. A well-lit headshot against a clean background, sized correctly, is the fastest credibility upgrade a profile gets.
