Your LinkedIn banner is one of the first things recruiters, clients, and colleagues see on your profile. The recommended dimensions are 1584×396 pixels — an ultra-wide 4:1 ratio that most photos do not naturally match. Uploading a photo without pre-cropping usually results in LinkedIn awkwardly cutting off the top and bottom.

Our cropper has a built-in LinkedIn banner preset. Upload any image, frame it within the wide banner area, and download a perfectly sized image ready for your profile.

Why Your LinkedIn Banner Matters

LinkedIn profiles with custom banners get significantly more profile views than those with the default blue gradient. Your banner is visual real estate that communicates your professional brand at a glance — before anyone reads your headline or experience.

Effective LinkedIn banners include: cityscape or office photos that convey your industry, branded graphics with your tagline or company logo, team photos that show culture, or conference and speaking photos that establish credibility. Whatever you choose, the image must be properly sized to avoid awkward cropping.

The ultra-wide 4:1 ratio is challenging because standard photos are typically 3:2 or 16:9. Pre-cropping lets you select exactly which horizontal slice of your image works best, ensuring faces are not cut off and key visual elements are centered.
