Resize LinkedIn graphics without trial and error
LinkedIn crops more aggressively than many people expect, especially with banners and profile photos. This tool lets you check the framing first, then export the exact size you need.
How it works
- Upload a photo or graphic from your computer or phone.
- Choose profile photo, banner or post image and adjust the crop until the important part sits safely in frame.
- Export the result as PNG, JPG or WebP directly in the browser.
Common use cases
- Cleaning up a headshot before updating your LinkedIn profile.
- Preparing a banner for a personal brand, recruitment page or company account.
- Fixing a post graphic exported from Canva that looks cropped or too small in the feed.
When it is worth using
This page is most useful when the original design is already done and you just need a LinkedIn-safe version.
- You have one source file and need separate versions for avatar, cover and post.
- The banner keeps trimming the text near the edges after upload.
- You want to check the crop on a phone before publishing from the LinkedIn app.
Which LinkedIn size should you choose
Each preset solves a slightly different problem, so it helps to choose the target before you start moving the crop.
- 400 x 400 works for profile photos and usually looks best when the face has a bit of margin around it.
- 1584 x 396 is the classic banner shape, so avoid putting a headline too close to the top or far left edge.
- 1200 x 627 is a safe post image format when you want one graphic to stay readable in the LinkedIn feed.
Typical problems
- A banner may look fine in the editor but lose key text after LinkedIn crops it on smaller screens.
- A profile photo often ends up too tight when the face is already close to the edge in the source file.
- Post graphics with small text can feel soft if they were exported too small and then stretched later.
Export and image quality
- PNG is a safe pick for graphics with text, logos and interface screenshots.
- JPG usually makes more sense for photo-based images and keeps the file lighter.
- WebP can be useful for quick web sharing, but check the result if the graphic contains fine details.
Practical tips
- If the banner includes a headline, keep it closer to the center than you would in Canva.
- For profile photos, zoom out a little more than feels necessary. LinkedIn crops tighter in the circle view.
- If you publish from your phone, preview the export on a small screen before uploading.
- When a post image contains text, make the font slightly larger than you think you need.
Local processing
Everything happens in your browser, so profile photos, employer branding drafts and internal visuals stay on your device.
FAQ
Which LinkedIn sizes are included?
The presets cover 400 x 400 for profile photos, 1584 x 396 for banners and 1200 x 627 for post images.
Should I use crop or fit mode for a LinkedIn banner?
Crop mode usually gives a cleaner full-width banner. Fit mode helps when you want to keep the whole design and add breathing room with a background color.
Why does my LinkedIn banner text get cut off after upload?
The text is often placed too close to the edge in the source graphic. Keep important copy nearer the center and leave some empty margin around it.
Is PNG or JPG better for LinkedIn graphics?
PNG is usually better for text-heavy visuals. JPG is fine for photos and often gives a smaller file.
Can I resize a Canva export here?
Yes. If you already made the design in Canva and only need a clean LinkedIn size, upload it and adjust the framing here.
