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

LinkedIn safe zones & tips
- Your profile photo covers the lower-left of the banner on desktop (roughly a 568 × 264 px region), and on mobile it pulls toward the centre — so keep critical text and logos in the right two-thirds of the banner.
- Keep important content inside a central safe zone (about 1350 × 220 px) with a ~100 px buffer from every edge, since the sides can be cropped on mobile.
- LinkedIn rewards restraint: one clear value statement or your role, generous spacing, and a calm background read as polished.
