Composition tips for LinkedIn profile banners

Keep the profile picture overlap in mind

On desktop, your circular profile photo covers the bottom-left portion of the banner. Keep critical logos, text, and faces on the right side of the canvas.

Avoid placing text close to edges

Responsive screen layouts can crop the top or bottom of the banner. Leave safe margins around your text elements.

Use landscape photography

Wide shots or panoramic photos crop much more naturally into the 4:1 format than vertical portraits.

Ensure readability

If you write a tagline, ensure the font size is large enough to read easily on mobile screens.


Why your banners might look blurry or cut off

Common issues include:

  • resizing from a low-resolution phone screenshot
  • placing contact details in the bottom-left corner where they are hidden
  • using portrait images that lose their central subject during cover crop
  • over-compressing JPG files

Using a high-resolution landscape photo and keeping text to the right side avoids these errors.
