LinkedIn post image size and feed ratios
The short answer
A LinkedIn feed image works best at 1200 × 1200 (1:1), 1200 × 627 (1.91:1) for link-style shares, or 1080 × 1350 (4:5) when you want the most vertical space — checked 31 July 2026.

LinkedIn publishes image specifications per surface rather than one number for a personal post. 1200 × 1200 is the widely used square working size; 1.91:1 and 4:5 variants are offered on this page for link-style and portrait posts.

Why this asset is awkward
LinkedIn does not publish one number for a personal post image, because the feed accepts several ratios and renders each differently. What matters is how much of a phone screen your image occupies as someone scrolls: 4:5 takes the most, 1:1 is the safe default, and 1.91:1 is the shortest and is mostly used for link-style shares.
Rather than guess, this page gives you all three presets on one canvas. Set your focal point once, switch between the ratios, and see which crop survives. Export whichever wins — or export all three and test them.

What the overlays mean
The inset box is our own legibility guideline rather than a LinkedIn rule. Feed images are rendered with rounded corners at roughly 500 pixels wide on desktop, so text that runs to the edge of the canvas looks cramped and can be clipped by the corner radius.

- Social Toolshed guideline: a feed image is often read at roughly 500 px wide. Keep headline text inside the centre 88% so nothing sits against the crop edge.

Three things that go wrong
- 01
Vertical wins attention, square wins consistency
4:5 occupies more of a phone screen. 1:1 is easier to template across a series of posts. Both are defensible; 1.91:1 is the weakest for a native image post.
- 02
Text needs to survive a 500 px render
A slide exported from a presentation usually has 18-point body text that becomes illegible in the feed. If it is a document, post it as a document, not as an image.
- 03
Do not letterbox a screenshot
A wide screenshot dropped into a 1:1 canvas leaves two dead bands. Use the blurred fill on this page, or switch to the 1.91:1 preset that matches the source shape.
Questions people actually ask
What size should a LinkedIn post image be?
1200 × 1200 is the most reliable general-purpose size. Use 1080 × 1350 (4:5) when you want the image to fill more of a phone screen, and 1200 × 627 (1.91:1) for link-style landscape shares. All three are available on this page.
What is the maximum image ratio LinkedIn will show without cropping?
4:5 portrait is the tallest common ratio the feed renders in full. Taller images than that risk being cropped or letterboxed depending on the surface, which is why this tool tops out there.
Does LinkedIn compress uploaded images?
Yes. Exporting at the exact target size with high quality gives LinkedIn the least reason to resample, which preserves text edges better than uploading a much larger file and letting LinkedIn shrink it.
Is this the same as the LinkedIn banner size?
No — the profile banner is 1584 × 396 and is a completely different asset. If you are replacing the image at the top of your profile rather than posting to the feed, use the LinkedIn banner tool instead.
