LinkedIn Banner Maker
The exact 1584×396 pixels, a clean design, your headline. Download and done.
Most LinkedIn banners are blurry for one boring reason: wrong dimensions. LinkedIn renders profile banners at exactly 1584 × 396 pixels (a 4:1 ratio), and anything else gets stretched or cropped — usually right through the text. This maker outputs that exact size with a clean preset, your headline placed in the safe zone, and a one-click PNG download. No watermark, no signup, no design tool with 400 features you don't need for a rectangle with words on it.
The dotted zone is where your profile photo sits — your text is placed clear of it automatically.
LinkedIn image sizes that actually render sharp
- Profile banner: exactly 1584 × 396 px (4:1). Upload smaller and LinkedIn stretches it into blur; upload a different ratio and it crops — usually through your headline.
- Mind the dead zone: your profile photo overlaps the banner's bottom-left corner (roughly the left 25% on mobile). Anything important belongs in the right two-thirds, vertically centered — where this maker places your text.
- Profile photo: 400 × 400 px minimum, face filling ~60% of the frame. Company logo: 300 × 300. Link-post images: 1200 × 627. One cheat-sheet, bookmark it.
- Keep banner text under ~8 words at large size. The banner is read in half a second behind your photo and headline — it's a billboard, not a paragraph. One promise, or one brand mark.
- Export as PNG under 8 MB (LinkedIn's cap). PNG keeps text edges crisp where JPG compression smears them — this tool exports PNG at exact size, so neither problem exists.
Example output
Headline / style: Headline: “Clean books for 7-figure Shopify brands” · Supporting: “Bookkeeping · Tax season without panic” · Style: Deep navy
A 1584×396 PNG: deep navy gradient (left-dark to right-lighter), headline set large and white, right-of-center — clear of the profile-photo dead zone — with the supporting line beneath it in a muted tone and a thin accent rule above the text block. Crisp at full size because it IS full size. (Example description — use the live preview above to see yours render as you type.)
Frequently asked questions
- What is the exact LinkedIn banner size?
- 1584 × 396 pixels, a 4:1 ratio, max 8 MB, PNG or JPG. This maker exports exactly that, so nothing gets stretched or cropped. For company pages the cover is 1128 × 191 — different shape, don't reuse the same file.
- Why does my banner look blurry on LinkedIn?
- Almost always an undersized source image: LinkedIn scales small uploads up to 1584 px wide and interpolation does the smearing. Export at exact size (like this tool does) and use PNG so text edges survive compression.
- What should I actually put on my banner?
- One promise in under eight words — who you help and the outcome — or a clean brand mark. The banner backs up your headline; it shouldn't compete with it. Skip collages, QR codes and phone numbers nobody will type.
- Why is this free — what's the catch?
- No catch and no signup. This tool is funded by EaseClaw, an AI agent that finds people publicly asking for what you sell and drafts your replies. If the free tool is useful, some people try the $9 trial. That's the whole business model.
