What size is a LinkedIn banner?
1584×396 pixels for personal profiles — the wide cover behind your photo and headline. The catch everyone hits: your circular profile photo overlaps the banner’s lower-left on desktop and mobile alike, swallowing whatever you put there. This linkedin banner maker draws that overlap zone on the canvas while you design and anchors your text clear of it, so your name, title, or value proposition stays readable instead of hiding behind your own face.
How to make your banner
- Type your name or title in the Text drawer — it renders live inside the safe area.
- Pick a layout template and shuffle the backdrop (mesh, pattern, or texture) until it fits your brand.
- Drop a logo if you want one — it is processed locally and never uploaded.
- Check the guides: everything essential should sit inside the dashed zone.
- Download the PNG — exact platform size, no watermark — and upload it to LinkedIn.
A banner that works with (not against) your profile
LinkedIn banners read best as quiet authority: a clean generated backdrop, one line of text — who you help and how, or simply your specialty — placed right of center where the layout guides put it. Loud collages fight the dense LinkedIn UI around them. The subtle mesh and paper-texture backdrops here photograph well in both LinkedIn themes, and because the export is exactly 1584×396 there is no re-cropping step to undo your alignment after upload.
Frequently asked questions
Is this LinkedIn banner maker free?
Yes — free, no signup, no watermark on the 1584×396 PNG. Design, download, and upload via the pencil icon on your profile’s cover area.
What size is a LinkedIn background banner?
1584×396 pixels for personal profiles (company pages use a different, wider ratio). This tool exports the personal-profile size — the one people mean when they search for a LinkedIn banner.
Why is part of my banner hidden behind my profile photo?
LinkedIn overlays your circular photo on the banner’s lower-left. It is unavoidable — so this tool marks the overlap zone live and keeps your text out of it by default, which is the difference between a banner designed for LinkedIn and one merely resized to fit it.
What should I put on my LinkedIn banner?
One clear line beats a collage: what you do, who you help, or a single credibility marker. Recruiters and prospects glance for two seconds — the banner’s job is to confirm you are deliberate, not to be read like a slide.
Is anything uploaded while I design?
No — the whole tool runs in your browser. Text, backdrop, and any dropped logo are composed locally; only you ever see the design until you upload the finished PNG to LinkedIn yourself.
