LinkedIn Post, Carousel & Video Sizes: Complete Cheat Sheet
LinkedIn dimensions are deceptively tricky. The platform handles images differently on desktop and mobile, crops banners aggressively depending on screen size, and has separate specs for personal profiles, company pages, articles, carousels, and ads. Upload the wrong size and your content looks stretched, cropped, or blurry — none of which inspire professional credibility.
This cheat sheet covers every LinkedIn image and video dimension you need in 2026. Keep it bookmarked.

Quick Reference Table
Every LinkedIn format at a glance. Detailed specs for each placement follow below.
| Format | Dimensions (px) | Aspect Ratio | Max File Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| Feed post (portrait) | 1080×1350 | 4:5 | 5 MB |
| Feed post (square) | 1080×1080 | 1:1 | 5 MB |
| Feed post (landscape) | 1200×627 | 1.91:1 | 5 MB |
| Carousel/document slide | 1080×1350 or 1080×1080 | 4:5 or 1:1 | 10 MB per slide |
| Video (landscape) | 1920×1080 | 16:9 | 5 GB |
| Video (portrait) | 1080×1920 | 9:16 | 5 GB |
| Personal profile photo | 400×400 | 1:1 | 8 MB |
| Personal banner | 1584×396 | 4:1 | 8 MB |
| Company page logo | 300×300 | 1:1 | 8 MB |
| Company page banner | 1128×191 | 5.9:1 | 8 MB |
| Article cover image | 1200×644 | 1.91:1 | 10 MB |
Key takeaway: Use 1080×1350 (4:5 portrait) for feed posts on mobile and 1200×627 (1.91:1 landscape) for link shares. Both look sharp on desktop and mobile.
Feed Post Images
LinkedIn feed posts support several aspect ratios. The best one depends on your content type and audience device.
| Placement | Dimensions (px) | Aspect Ratio | Max File Size | Format |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Portrait | 1080×1350 | 4:5 | 5 MB | JPG, PNG |
| Square | 1080×1080 | 1:1 | 5 MB | JPG, PNG |
| Landscape | 1200×627 | 1.91:1 | 5 MB | JPG, PNG |
Portrait (4:5) takes up the most feed space on mobile, which is where the majority of LinkedIn engagement happens. If you are sharing standalone images — infographics, quotes, or data visuals — 1080×1350 is the strongest choice.
Landscape (1.91:1) works best for link share posts because LinkedIn automatically pulls the og:image from URLs and displays it at this ratio. If your link share image is not at least 1200×627, it will appear as a small thumbnail instead of a full-width image.
For graphics with text, export as PNG to keep edges crisp. For photos, JPG at 90-95% quality keeps the file size manageable without visible compression.

LinkedIn Carousel and Document Dimensions
LinkedIn carousels are uploaded as PDF documents that viewers swipe through. They are one of the highest-engagement formats on the platform.
| Spec | Value |
|---|---|
| Recommended dimensions | 1080×1350 (portrait) or 1080×1080 (square) |
| Aspect ratio | 4:5 or 1:1 |
| Max file size | 100 MB (total PDF) |
| Max pages | 300 |
| Format |
Every slide in your PDF should be the same dimensions. Mixing sizes within a single document causes inconsistent display and looks unprofessional.
Portrait slides (1080×1350) perform best because they dominate the mobile feed — the same principle as single-image posts. Design your slides in Canva, Figma, or Google Slides, then export as PDF.

LinkedIn Video Dimensions
| Placement | Dimensions (px) | Aspect Ratio | Max Duration | Max File Size |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Landscape video | 1920×1080 | 16:9 | 10 minutes | 5 GB |
| Square video | 1080×1080 | 1:1 | 10 minutes | 5 GB |
| Portrait video | 1080×1920 | 9:16 | 10 minutes | 5 GB |
LinkedIn accepts videos in MP4, MOV, AVI, FLV, MKV, and WebM formats. MP4 with H.264 video and AAC audio is the safest choice — it works reliably across all devices and gets the least compression.
Technical specs: minimum resolution is 256×144, maximum is 4096×2304. Frame rates from 10 to 60 FPS are supported, with 30 FPS being the standard. Bit rates range from 192 KBPS to 30 MBPS.
Video duration must be between 3 seconds and 10 minutes for organic posts. Keep videos under 200 MB when possible for faster upload and processing.

Company Page Banner and Logo
| Placement | Dimensions (px) | Aspect Ratio | Max File Size | Format |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Company page banner | 1128×191 | 5.9:1 | 8 MB | JPG, PNG |
| Company page logo | 300×300 | 1:1 | 8 MB | JPG, PNG |
The company page banner is extremely wide and short. Keep text minimal and centred — the edges get cropped differently on desktop versus mobile. According to LinkedIn's help centre, the banner must be at least 1128×191px.
The company logo displays small in search results and comments, so make sure it is legible at thumbnail size. A simple mark or letterform works better than a full wordmark.
Personal Profile Photo and Banner
| Placement | Dimensions (px) | Aspect Ratio | Display Shape | Max File Size |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Profile photo | 400×400 | 1:1 | Circle | 8 MB |
| Profile banner | 1584×396 | 4:1 | Rectangle | 8 MB |
Profile photo: Upload at 400×400 minimum. LinkedIn displays it as a circle, so keep your face or logo centred and away from the edges. Some creators upload at 800×800 for extra sharpness on retina screens.
Profile banner: The 1584×396 banner crops differently on desktop and mobile. On mobile, the centre portion of the banner is visible, while the sides may be cut off. Design with a safe zone of roughly 1200×300 centred in the middle.
A professional profile photo builds trust. A social media audit can help you identify where your profiles need visual improvements across all platforms.
Article Cover Image
| Spec | Value |
|---|---|
| Dimensions | 1200×644 px |
| Aspect ratio | 1.91:1 |
| Max file size | 10 MB |
| Format | JPG, PNG |
LinkedIn article cover images display prominently when shared in the feed and at the top of the article itself. If you do not add a cover image, LinkedIn may pull a random image from your article body, which rarely looks intentional.
Design your cover image at exactly 1200×644 for the sharpest result. Keep key text and visuals in the centre 1000×500 area to account for slight cropping variations across devices.
LinkedIn Ad Dimensions
Sponsored Content (Single Image)
| Placement | Dimensions (px) | Aspect Ratio | Max File Size | Format |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Landscape | 1200×628 | 1.91:1 | 5 MB | JPG, PNG |
| Square | 1200×1200 | 1:1 | 5 MB | JPG, PNG |
| Vertical (mobile only) | 628×1200 | 1:1.91 | 5 MB | JPG, PNG |
According to LinkedIn's ad specs, the minimum image width is 400px, but 1200px wide is strongly recommended for sharp display.
Sponsored Content (Carousel Ads)
| Spec | Value |
|---|---|
| Dimensions | 1080×1080 px |
| Aspect ratio | 1:1 |
| Max cards | 10 |
| Max file size | 10 MB per card |
| Format | JPG, PNG |
Sponsored Content (Video Ads)
| Spec | Value |
|---|---|
| Dimensions | 1920×1080 (landscape) or 1080×1920 (portrait) |
| Max duration | 30 minutes |
| Max file size | 200 MB |
| Format | MP4 |
Full video ad specs are available in LinkedIn's video ad documentation.
Message Ads (Sponsored InMail)
| Placement | Dimensions (px) | Format | Max File Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| Banner image | 300×250 | JPG, PNG, GIF (non-animated) | 2 MB |
The 300×250 banner appears to the right of the message on desktop. It is not displayed on mobile, so do not rely on it for critical information.
Dynamic Ads
| Placement | Dimensions (px) | Format |
|---|---|---|
| Company logo | 100×100 | JPG, PNG |
| Background image (optional) | 300×250 | JPG, PNG |
Dynamic ads pull the viewer's profile photo automatically, so your creative assets only need to include your logo and optional background.

Tips for Maximum Quality
Stick to the recommended dimensions exactly. Uploading oversized images forces LinkedIn to downscale, which adds compression. Match the specs in this guide.
Use PNG for text-heavy graphics. Screenshots, data charts, and quote images look sharper as PNG. Use JPG for photographs.
Keep images under 3 MB when possible. LinkedIn's limit is 5 MB for organic posts, but smaller files upload faster and display more reliably on slow connections.
Export in sRGB colour space. LinkedIn strips other colour profiles, which can shift your colours. sRGB ensures what you see is what gets displayed.
Test on both desktop and mobile. LinkedIn's layout varies significantly between devices. A banner that looks perfect on desktop may crop poorly on a phone screen.
Use consistent dimensions across carousel slides. Mixed-size slides in a PDF create an uneven viewing experience. Pick one size and stick with it for the entire document.
Generate publication-ready LinkedIn visuals with the AI image generator, or resize existing images with the image resizer. If you need a full LinkedIn strategy, check out our social media benchmarks tool.
