## Questions people ask

### How do I resize an image for LinkedIn?

Choose where the image is going, such as a post, your banner, or a company page cover. Drop the image into the tool, drag it to choose what is kept, and download it. The file comes out at the exact size LinkedIn gives for that spot.

### What size should a LinkedIn post image be?

LinkedIn Help gives 1200 × 627 pixels, a 1.91:1 shape, for a custom image on a post with a link. Its ad specifications also give 1200 × 1200 for a square image, and 4:5 for a portrait image at 720 × 900 or larger. The full list is on the post image size page.

### How do I fit a whole image without cropping it?

Choose Show the whole image. The image is scaled to fit inside the size, and the space around it is filled with a color you pick or with a blurred copy of the image. Use this when cropping would cut off text or a face.

### Will resizing make my image blurry?

Making an image smaller keeps it sharp. Making it larger does not add detail, so a small image stretched to a bigger size looks soft. The tool tells you when that is happening, so you can start from a larger file.

### JPG or PNG: which is better for LinkedIn?

Use JPG for photos, because the file is much smaller. Use PNG for graphics with text, logos, or flat color, because the edges stay crisp. The tool shows the file size next to LinkedIn’s limit for the size you chose.

### Is my image uploaded anywhere?

No. The image is opened and resized by this page, in your browser. It is never sent to a server, and nothing connects to your LinkedIn account.

### How do I resize my LinkedIn profile photo?

You can use the Photo size here. For a profile photo, the profile picture resizer is the better tool: it shows your photo inside the circle LinkedIn crops it to, and previews it on a profile, a post, and a comment.
