- 2
Pick a LinkedIn preset
Choose the preset that matches your use case: Post image (1200×627) for feed posts that take up maximum feed space at the 1.91:1 ratio LinkedIn favors, Profile photo (400×400) for the circular avatar shown on your profile and comments, Cover photo (1584×396) for your personal banner, or Company cover (1128×191) for the wide, thin banner on your company page.

Download and upload to LinkedIn
Export as PNG to avoid LinkedIn's aggressive JPG recompression, which visibly degrades logos and text overlays. Your resized file is ready to upload directly to the matching LinkedIn field.
Who resizes images for LinkedIn and why
B2B marketers, recruiters, and executives resize images for LinkedIn to hit exact platform dimensions without the feed clipping or profile distortion that comes from uploading the wrong size. Getting the pixel counts right is the difference between a post image that dominates the feed and one that gets cropped into irrelevance.
B2B content marketer
Running A/B tests on LinkedIn post image formats requires exporting the same creative at exactly 1200×627 to guarantee consistent feed placement across both variants. Uploading off-ratio images causes LinkedIn to crop unpredictably, invalidating the test.
Executive building a personal brand
A headshot shot in portrait or square format needs to be center-cropped and resized to 400×400 before upload so the circular profile frame on LinkedIn desktop does not cut off the face. Getting this wrong makes the avatar look unprofessional in comment threads and search results.
Recruiter posting open roles
Job post graphics designed in Canva or Figma rarely export at exactly 1200×627, and a stretched or cropped image in the feed reduces click-through on high-competition roles. Resizing to the exact post image dimensions before uploading takes seconds and keeps the graphic sharp.
Company page admin
The LinkedIn company cover photo at 1128×191 is extremely wide and thin, and uploading a standard landscape image at any other ratio results in severe top-and-bottom cropping that removes logos and taglines. Resizing to 1128×191 first ensures the full design is visible on the page.
Event marketer promoting a LinkedIn Live or webinar
Promotional graphics for LinkedIn events need to fit the 1200×627 post image format to display correctly when shared in the feed by speakers and attendees. A correct aspect ratio means the speaker headshots and event date are never cropped out.
Freelancer or agency updating a client company page
Agencies managing multiple LinkedIn company pages routinely resize brand assets from client-supplied files to both the cover photo (1584×396) and company cover (1128×191) formats in one session. Having both dimensions named in a preset list eliminates the need to look up LinkedIn's spec sheet each time.
