# LinkedIn Profile Picture Resizer

Canonical page: https://depost.ai/tools/linkedin-profile-picture-resizer

Drop a photo, frame your face in the circle LinkedIn crops to, and download a square LinkedIn accepts the first time. You see it on a profile, a post, and a comment, and the file is checked against LinkedIn’s limits before you save it. The photo never leaves your browser.

Free to use, with no account needed.

## How to resize a LinkedIn profile picture

1. **Add your photo.** Drop it on the box, paste it, or click to choose a file. A photo from the profile picture downloader opens here on its own.
2. **Frame it in the circle.** Drag to move and zoom until your face sits inside the ring. Check the previews for your profile, a post, and a comment, and pick a background for any space the photo does not reach.
3. **Download the square.** Choose 400, 800, or 1200 pixels and JPG or PNG. The file size appears next to LinkedIn’s limit before you download, so it uploads the first time.

## Questions people ask

### What size should a LinkedIn profile picture be?

At least 400 × 400 pixels. LinkedIn accepts anything from 400 × 400 up to 7680 × 4320, as a PNG or JPG under 8MB, and shows it cropped to a circle. A square works best because nothing gets cropped by surprise. The resizer exports 800 × 800 by default, and 400 or 1200 if you prefer.

### Why won’t my photo upload to LinkedIn?

Almost always one of three things: the image is smaller than 400 × 400, the file is over 8MB, or it is a format LinkedIn does not take, such as GIF or an iPhone HEIC. A square exported here fixes all three at once: it is at least 400 pixels, it is a JPG or PNG, and the file size is shown next to LinkedIn’s limit before you download.

### Does LinkedIn crop profile pictures to a circle?

Yes. The file you upload is square, and LinkedIn shows it as a circle everywhere: on your profile, on your posts, and in comments. The corners are kept but never seen. The resizer dims everything outside the circle so you can see exactly what will show, and keep your face inside it.

### Why does my LinkedIn photo look blurry?

Usually because the photo was small to begin with, or it was cropped so tightly that only a few hundred pixels of the original are left. The resizer tells you how many pixels of the original the frame covers, and warns you when the export has to be enlarged to reach the size you picked.

### What size is a LinkedIn company page logo?

LinkedIn recommends 400 × 400 pixels for a company page logo, with 268 × 268 as the minimum, as a PNG or JPEG under 3MB. Choose Company page logo above: the guide switches to a square, the format switches to PNG, which keeps flat colors crisp, and the size check uses the 3MB limit.

### Can I resize an iPhone photo?

Yes. JPG, PNG, and WebP open in every browser. iPhone photos saved as HEIC open in Safari; in other browsers, share the photo as a JPG first, or change the camera format to Most Compatible in the iPhone settings.

### Is my photo uploaded anywhere?

No. The photo is read and redrawn on this page, in your browser, and the download is made there too. Nothing is sent to our servers, and nothing is kept once you close the tab.
