Personal LinkedIn banner: size and crop
Start with a 1584 × 396 canvas. Keep your headline and logo away from the lower-left profile-photo overlap and check the preview on desktop and mobile. A company page uses a different layout; its banner size is not the minimum for a personal profile. Export JPG for photographic backgrounds or PNG for flat text and graphics, then keep the final file within 8MB.
