Quick answer

LinkedIn banners need to look professional across desktop and mobile. The company banner is especially shallow, so avoid long sentences and detailed graphics. Use simple brand color, a short message, and centered visual weight.

Personal cover photos and company banners crop differently, so create separate files. A banner that looks good on a personal profile may feel too tall or too busy when forced into a company page area.

For posts, use clear wide images with readable text. LinkedIn audiences often scan quickly between work tasks, so a simple headline and clean contrast work better than a dense poster.

Recommended workflow

  1. Start with the largest clean source image you have.
  2. Choose the exact destination size before adding final text.
  3. Crop visually so the subject, logo, and key message stay inside the safe area.
  4. Export in JPG for photos, PNG for crisp graphics, or WebP for web use.
