LinkedIn photo requirements made easy

LinkedIn has clear guidelines for profile photos and banner images. While the platform technically accepts files up to 8MB, keeping your photo small ensures it loads instantly when recruiters and connections view your profile.

Profile Photo

Recommended: 400×400 pixels
File size: Under 200KB for best performance
Format: JPG, PNG, or GIF (up to 8MB)

Banner / Cover Image

Recommended: 1584×396 pixels
File size: Keep under 4MB
Format: JPG or PNG

Pro Tip

Set Max width to 800 in the tool above for retina-ready LinkedIn photos that still stay well under the 200KB recommendation.

LinkedIn profile photo FAQ

What is the best size for a LinkedIn profile photo?

LinkedIn recommends 400×400 pixels with a file size under 200KB for optimal loading speed. The platform accepts JPG, PNG, or GIF up to 8MB, but smaller files load faster and look more professional.

Will my photo still look sharp after compression?

At 400×400px and 200KB target, our tool produces near-lossless results. Faces remain crisp and details are preserved because we only reduce what's necessary to hit the target.

Can I also resize my photo to 400×400?

Yes. Set the Max width to 400 (or 800 for retina displays) and the tool will scale your photo while compressing it to your target KB.
