Create a Professional LinkedIn Banner That Stands Out

Your LinkedIn background banner is prime real estate for personal branding. Our LinkedIn Banner Resizer automatically formats your image to the perfect 1584 × 396 pixels, ensuring your professional brand shines across all devices.

Why LinkedIn Banner Size Matters

LinkedIn requires background images to be exactly 1584×396 pixels for optimal display. Using the correct size ensures:

  • No pixelation or blurriness on desktop and mobile
  • Proper alignment with your profile picture
  • Professional appearance that builds credibility
  • Consistent display across all devices and screen sizes

⚠️ Critical Safe Zone:

Your profile picture covers the bottom-left 400×400 pixel area. Avoid placing important text or logos in this zone!
