LinkedIn Banner Maker

The LinkedIn banner size

A LinkedIn profile banner is 1584×396 pixels — a wide 4:1 strip behind your headshot. Your profile photo overlaps the lower-left, and on mobile the bottom portion can be obscured by your name and headline, so the safe zone is the upper-right area.

This maker locks the canvas to 1584×396 and previews it at the right ratio. A restrained, professional look works best here — a clear value statement or your role, a calm gradient or a relevant photo, and plenty of breathing room.

How to make a LinkedIn banner

1. It opens at 1584×396. The LinkedIn banner size is preset, so the canvas is the right wide shape.
2. Add your text. Add a short value statement or your role. Align it right or centre so the avatar doesn't cover it.
3. Pick a background. A subtle gradient or a darkened photo keeps it professional. Set the accent colour to match your brand.
4. Download. Export and upload it as your profile background.

Keep it professional and uncluttered

On LinkedIn, less is more: one clear line of text, generous spacing, and a calm background read as polished. Keep text in the upper-right so your headshot and name don't overlap it.
