Free LinkedIn Banner Maker

A LinkedIn banner maker creates the wide background photo that sits behind your profile picture. This one combines your headline, a supporting line, your colors and an optional photo into a 1584 × 396 PNG that you can upload to LinkedIn straight away.

For a personal profile, LinkedIn recommends 1584 × 396 pixels, a 4:1 ratio. Smaller images get stretched and can look blurry. This maker always exports at 1584 × 396, so the file matches what LinkedIn expects.

The LinkedIn app shows the banner in a narrower frame and trims the left and right sides. Your profile picture also covers part of the image. Keep the headline short, avoid the edges and check the result in the app after uploading.

On desktop the round profile picture sits over the lower-left part of the banner. That’s why this maker starts the headline about 23% in from the left edge, leaving that corner free. Keep logos and small text out of the lower left.

Write one clear line about what you do and who you help, then add a specialty, website or call to action underneath. For example: “Data analyst for e-commerce brands” and “Open to remote roles”. Short phrases read better than full sentences.

Yes. Click Choose files and add one JPG, PNG or WebP image up to 30 MB. It is cropped to fill the banner and darkened with a gradient so light text stays readable. A wide photo with a quiet area behind the text works best.

Company Pages use a different cover size, 1128 × 191 pixels, which is much shorter than a personal banner. You can upload this PNG, but LinkedIn will crop it and may cut into the text. This maker is designed for personal profiles.

Blur usually comes from uploading an image smaller than 1584 × 396 or from heavy JPG compression. This maker exports a full-size PNG with sharp text. If you use a background photo, start with a large original, since small photos get enlarged to fill the banner.

No. The banner is drawn on a canvas in your browser and your photo is read from your own device. Nothing is sent to a SocQ server, and the finished PNG downloads directly from the page.

Yes. It’s free with no signup, and no watermark is added to the PNG. Create as many versions as you like, for example one for job hunting and one for a new role.
