Recommended sizes for LinkedIn post images
Safe zone and tips
- Many members scroll on phones, where square and portrait images appear larger than landscape ones.
- Shared links use the page’s og:image; 1200 × 627 is the size to design for.
- Keep charts and text large enough to read without zooming.
Making a 1.91:1 image from a phone photo
A typical 12-megapixel phone photo is 4032 × 3024. The largest 1.91:1 area you can cut from it is 4032 × 2107 pixels: crop to that, then scale it down to 1200 × 627. Cropping first and scaling second keeps everything in proportion.
The calculator is set to 1200 × 627. Enter your own width and height to see their ratio, or type a new width in box 2 to get the height that matches.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best size for LinkedIn post images?
Use 1200 × 627 (Landscape, ≈ 1.91:1), 1080 × 1080 (Square, 1:1), and 1080 × 1350 (Portrait, 4:5). The first one is the safest default.
Which aspect ratio should LinkedIn post images use?
≈ 1.91:1, 1:1, and 4:5. Crop to the ratio first and then scale to the size in pixels, so nothing is stretched or cut off unexpectedly.
What is the best image size for a LinkedIn post?
For a single image, 1080 × 1080 or 1080 × 1350 tends to stand out most on mobile, while 1200 × 627 suits wide graphics and link previews. Keep images at least 1080 px wide so they stay sharp.
