Ajuste suas fotos para as dimensões exatas do LinkedIn em instantes e sem perder a qualidade.
LinkedIn doesn't make its image requirements obvious. You won't find a clean spec sheet inside the app. Here are the dimensions that actually matter:
Profile photo: 400×400 pixels (square). LinkedIn displays it as a circle, so leave margin around the edges — anything near the corners gets clipped.
Personal cover/banner: 1584×396 pixels (4:1 ratio). On mobile, this crops significantly on all sides. Design with a generous safe zone in the center.
Post image (single): 1200×627 pixels (1.91:1 ratio). This is the size LinkedIn recommends for feed posts. Images smaller than this may appear blurry; larger ones get compressed.
Company page logo: 300×300 pixels.
Company cover image: 1128×191 pixels.
Article cover image: 744×400 pixels (recommended minimum).
These numbers shift occasionally when LinkedIn updates its platform. If an image that used to work suddenly looks wrong, check whether the dimensions have changed.
When you upload an image that doesn't match LinkedIn's expected dimensions, the platform doesn't ask how you'd like it adjusted. It applies an automatic crop based on the image's center point, and the result is often unpredictable.
A 3:2 landscape photo uploaded as a post image gets its top and bottom trimmed. A tall portrait photo gets squeezed into a wide frame, losing significant portions on the sides. A square image displayed in a 1.91:1 slot gets pillarboxed or stretched, depending on the context.
The solution is straightforward: resize before you upload. When your image is already the exact pixel dimensions LinkedIn expects, there's nothing to crop. The upload preview matches the final result. No surprises.
This is particularly important for images that contain text — infographics, quote graphics, event announcements. If LinkedIn crops even 50 pixels off one side, you might lose a headline or a date. Pre-resizing eliminates that risk entirely.
Your LinkedIn profile photo appears in three very different contexts: the small circular thumbnail next to your posts and comments, the medium version on your profile page, and the full-size version when someone clicks on it. Each one has slightly different display behavior.
The circle crop is the most aggressive. LinkedIn trims roughly 15-20% of each corner. If your face is positioned at the edges of a square photo, the circle display will cut into it. The fix: keep your face in the center third of the image, with enough background around it to survive the circular mask.
Another common issue: uploading a profile photo that's 150×150 pixels and expecting it to look crisp. It won't. Even though LinkedIn's thumbnail is small, it pulls from a larger source. Upload at 400×400 pixels minimum to ensure sharpness at every display size.
File format matters too. PNG preserves more detail for profile photos with sharp edges (like logos used as profile images), but for most headshots, a well-compressed JPG at 400×400 is perfectly adequate and loads faster.
A LinkedIn feed is visually dense. Posts with properly sized images get more engagement — not because of algorithmic magic, but because they look right. An image that's slightly blurry or awkwardly cropped signals carelessness, even if the content is valuable.
The sweet spot for a LinkedIn post image is 1200×627 pixels. This matches the 1.91:1 aspect ratio that LinkedIn's feed uses. If you upload a different ratio, LinkedIn will either add letterboxing (gray bars) or crop your image.
One nuance worth knowing: when you share a link, LinkedIn generates a preview card with a 1.91:1 thumbnail. If the Open Graph image on the linked page is a different size, the crop may be unflattering. You can't control this with a resize tool — but when you upload images directly as part of your post, you control every pixel.
For carousel posts (multi-image posts), LinkedIn uses a 1:1 square format at 1080×1080 pixels. This is a different workflow — if you're creating carousels, resize each slide to square dimensions rather than the standard post ratio.
Here's something that catches even experienced LinkedIn users off guard: the same image can look different on the LinkedIn mobile app versus the desktop site. This is especially true for banners and wide post images.
On desktop, your personal banner displays at full width (1584×396). On mobile, the app crops the image to fit a taller, narrower viewport. The top and bottom get trimmed, and the left and right edges may also be reduced. If your banner has a tagline positioned near the bottom, it may vanish entirely on mobile.
Post images behave more consistently, but there's a subtle difference: on mobile, the feed shows images at a slightly different aspect ratio than on desktop. The variation is small — a few pixels — but on images with tight text overlays, those pixels matter.
The practical approach: after resizing and uploading, check your post on both your phone and your computer before moving on. If either version looks off, adjust the crop in the resize tool and re-upload. It's a 10-second check that prevents embarrassing visual glitches.
