What matters
LinkedIn Profile Banner dimensions at a glance
The LinkedIn banner is a 4:1 horizontal canvas that frames the top of your profile. It should reinforce your positioning without distracting from your headline.
This image shapes first impressions before visitors read anything else. Starting at the correct dimensions avoids stretched gradients and cropped text.
Off-ratio banners look fuzzy or clipped behind the profile photo overlay. Busy layouts compete with your headline and make the page feel less professional.
