LinkedIn Image Best Practices
Getting the dimensions right is just the start. These tips will help your images perform better in the feed.
Design for Mobile First
Most LinkedIn users scroll on their phones. Portrait images (4:5) and square images (1:1) take up more screen space on mobile and consistently outperform landscape images for engagement. When in doubt, go vertical.
Respect Safe Zones
Mobile devices crop banners and cover images aggressively. Keep logos, text, and important visuals within the center 80% of any image. For profile banners, avoid the lower-left corner where your profile photo sits.
Optimize File Size
Smaller files load faster in the feed, which matters on mobile networks. Use JPG for photographs and PNG for graphics with text or transparency. Compress your images before uploading without sacrificing quality.
Test Desktop and Mobile
What looks perfect on your desktop monitor might be cropped differently on a phone. Check your images on both devices before posting. This is especially important for banners and multi-image posts where the grid layout changes.
