LinkedIn presets in this tool
How the resizer works
Pick a preset and the preview becomes a canvas of exactly that size. Your image is first fitted inside it whole, without cropping, and any empty space is filled with white. From there you can:
- zoom with the slider or the mouse wheel to fill the frame (this crops the edges that fall outside);
- drag the image with a mouse or a finger to choose which part stays in view;
- turn the image left or right in 90 degree steps;
- press Fit Image to return to the whole image centred.
The export is rendered at the preset's full pixel size from your original image, not from the smaller preview, and saved as a WebP file at quality 0.92.
Designing around the banner's profile photo
On a LinkedIn profile, your circular photo sits over the left side of the background banner, and on phones the banner is shown at a smaller scale with less of the sides visible. Put any text or logo on the right half or centre, keep it large enough to read on a phone, and use the left side for background only.
Professional profile photos
The profile preset exports a square, which LinkedIn displays as a circle. Frame the head and shoulders with a little space above the head, and keep the face centred so the circle does not cut through it. A plain or softly blurred background keeps the focus on you; the Blur Background tool can help with busy backgrounds.
Export notes
- Format: the download is WebP. If a platform or scheduling tool rejects WebP uploads, convert the file with WebP to JPG.
- Background: any area your image does not cover is white. To use a coloured background instead, zoom in until the image fills the frame.
- Metadata: EXIF data, including GPS location, is not included in the exported file.
- Platform compression: social networks usually re-compress uploads. Exporting at the preset size avoids an extra resize on their side, but the final quality is still up to the platform.
The preset sizes above are the values built into this tool. Platforms change their layouts and recommendations from time to time, so if an upload looks cropped unexpectedly, check the platform's own help pages for the current size and use the Crop tool and Image Resizer to match it.
Where the processing happens
Positioning and export happen in your browser, and nothing is uploaded to Image York or LinkedIn.
Questions about this tool
My LinkedIn banner gets covered by my profile photo. How do I avoid that?
Choose LinkedIn Banner (1584 x 396) and put text or logos in the centre or on the right half. Your round profile photo sits over the left side.
How do I make a professional LinkedIn profile photo?
Choose LinkedIn Profile (400 x 400), frame your head and shoulders with a little space above your head, and keep your face in the centre. If the background is busy, soften it first with Blur Background.
Which size should an image for a LinkedIn post be?
Use the LinkedIn Post preset (1200 x 627). The image fills the post without being cropped oddly.
Why are there white bars around my photo?
Your photo has a different shape from the LinkedIn frame, so the tool fits the whole photo inside and fills the rest with white. Move the zoom slider up until the photo fills the frame, then drag it to choose which part stays in view.
The app will not accept the downloaded file. What do I do?
The download is a WebP file. Most platforms accept it, but if one does not, convert it with WebP to JPG and upload the JPG.
