LinkedIn Banner Cropper for Profile Covers
Crop a photo to the 1584 × 396 px cover of a personal LinkedIn profile, a 4:1 strip. Company pages use a different size. Runs in your browser.
How to crop a LinkedIn banner
- Choose the photo. The cropper opens at LinkedIn profile banner, 4:1 at 1584 × 396 px, with the social presets open.
- Move the frame over the strip you want. Your profile photo covers the lower left of the banner, so keep the subject and any words to the upper right.
- Read the Downloaded line. It should say 1584 × 396 px, and the file should be under 8 MB.
- Press Download crop. The file name ends in 4x1, so it stays apart from your other crops.
Profile cover or company page: which size
LinkedIn has two kinds of banner, and they are different sizes. The one on a personal profile is the cover picture behind your name and headline. LinkedIn Help gives 1584 × 396 px for it, as a JPG or PNG under 8 MB. I built this page for that personal profile cover only, so it makes that one file.
A company page has its own cover, and its size is not 1584 × 396 px. Look up that size in LinkedIn's help for company pages before you crop a banner for one, then set the frame with the Custom ratio section of the cropper.
The LinkedIn banner sizes
| Banner | Pixels | Ratio | Format and limit | Where the size comes from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Personal profile cover | 1584 × 396 | 4:1 | JPG or PNG, under 8 MB | LinkedIn Help |
| Company page cover | Its own size | Different | Check before you crop | LinkedIn's company page help |
| Shared link image | 1200 × 628 | ≈1.91:1 | Not a banner | The cropper's LinkedIn landscape preset |
The first row is the size this page makes. The other two are for other uses, so do not crop a banner to them.
Where your profile photo sits
On a personal profile your photo is placed over the lower left of the cover. Only the rest of the strip stays in view around it, so the banner works best when its main image is in the upper right.
Before you download, check the preview frame against that corner. A face or a sign at the lower left would sit under the photo, and a word there would be hidden. Move the frame so that the important part of the picture is on the right.
Why the banner is so wide
A 4:1 strip is much wider than a camera photo. A 3:2 landscape loses a large part of its height when it becomes a banner, so the frame cuts the top and bottom. Drag the frame to the band you want, then use the zoom slider so the subject fills the strip.
This page leaves Prevent upscaling off. A photo narrower than 1584 pixels is enlarged to fit the exact size, and the enlarged picture is softer than the original.
Tips for a LinkedIn banner
- Use the largest copy of the photo you have. A narrow photo is enlarged to 1584 pixels wide and loses sharpness.
- Keep small text out of the strip. A banner is seen at a small size on a phone.
- Save a photograph as JPEG and a graphic with flat colours as PNG.
- Check the Downloaded line before you upload: the size should be 1584 × 396 px and the file under 8 MB.
Privacy
Your image never leaves your device. Opening, cropping and saving all happen in your browser, so nothing is uploaded or stored, and you do not need an account. The saved file does not keep the original EXIF, GPS or XMP data.
