Banner sizes
| banner | pixels | shape | file |
|---|---|---|---|
| LinkedIn profile | 1584 × 396 | 4:1 | JPG or PNG, under 8 MB |
| LinkedIn company page | 1512 × 256 | about 6:1 | PNG or JPEG, up to 3 MB |
| X (Twitter) header | 1500 × 500 | 3:1 | JPG, PNG or still GIF |
These come from LinkedIn's help on profile banners and company pages, and X's profile help. X's help gives no file size limit for headers.
Many guides still say 1128 × 191 for a company page, but LinkedIn's help now says 1512 × 256.
Where the photo covers your banner
We measured the live sites in a browser on 7 November 2026, at desktop width and at 390 pixels wide.
| banner | on desktop | at phone width |
|---|---|---|
| LinkedIn profile | the left quarter of the lower half | the left 47%, almost full height |
| LinkedIn company page | the left quarter of the lower two thirds | the left 47% of the bottom quarter |
| X header | the left quarter of the bottom third | the left quarter of the bottom third |
On LinkedIn the photo stays the same size as the page narrows, so it takes far more of the banner. Keep text and logos in the right half there. On X, the right 70% is clear, and X's help warns that 60 pixels can be cropped from the top and bottom, so keep those clear too.
Questions
Is a Twitter header the same as an X header?
Yes. It's the same image at the same recommended size, 1500 × 500 pixels. X's help also calls it a banner.
What if my image is a different shape?
The checker crops it to the right shape. Drag it to choose the part that shows, and zoom in if you want less of it.
What do I get when I download?
A PNG at the exact size, which always fits inside LinkedIn's file limits. Any transparent parts turn white.
Does it upload my image?
No. The tool runs in your browser and your image never reaches us. Nothing is kept after you leave the page.
