How it works
- Choose a photo from your phone or computer.
- Select Prepare to create a 1200×627 image with a center crop.
- Check the preview to make sure faces, logos and text stay inside the frame.
- Download the JPG and attach it to your LinkedIn post.
LinkedIn post size in pixels: what 1200×627 means
This tool exports a landscape JPG at 1200×627 pixels, a 1.91:1 ratio. LinkedIn Help lists 1200×627 as the size for link-preview and Page post images. For regular post photos, LinkedIn Help gives a minimum of 552×276 pixels, recommends 1080 px wide, and accepts aspect ratios between 3:1 and 4:5. A 1200×627 image is above that minimum and inside that ratio range. That makes it a practical landscape size when you want one image to work as a regular post photo and as a link-style preview.
Pixels are the only unit that matters here. A LinkedIn post has no print size in inches or cm, because how large the picture looks depends on the screen. If you need a portrait or square image, this tool will not make one, since it only outputs 1200×627.
Fit a photo to LinkedIn's image size for posts
The tool fills the 1200×627 frame and crops from the center, so nothing is stretched. A landscape photo loses very little. A portrait photo loses its top and bottom, so check the preview and make sure faces, logos and any text sit near the middle. If something important is cut off, choose a wider shot.
Feeds can show the picture at different sizes on a phone and on a computer, so keep text large and away from the edges. If your original is already close to the 1.91:1 shape, the crop will barely change it, which is the easiest way to keep the whole composition.
LinkedIn post photo size limit, quality and privacy
LinkedIn Help sets a maximum of 5 MB for post photos. This tool exports a JPG under 2 MB, well below that. Blur usually comes from a small original: enlarging a small photo cannot add detail, so start from the sharpest version you have.
The photo is processed in your browser and is never uploaded. There is no sign-up and no watermark, and it works the same on a phone or a computer. For your profile photo, use the LinkedIn Headshot Size 400×400 page, and for the wide profile background, use the LinkedIn Banner Size 1584×396 page.

Has the LinkedIn post size changed for 2026?

Why is my LinkedIn post picture blurry or cropped?
Blur usually comes from a small original that was enlarged. Cropping happens when the photo's shape differs from the frame. This tool crops from the center to 1200×627, so check the preview and keep key details near the middle.
Can I make a portrait or square LinkedIn post image?
Not with this tool, which only outputs a 1200×627 landscape JPG. LinkedIn Help accepts ratios between 3:1 and 4:5, so portrait images are allowed, but you would need another tool to make one.
