Since LinkedIn’s last major update and redesign — which rolled out in April 2018 — the ideal LinkedIn profile picture size is 400 x 400 pixels. As of 2025, that’s still the case.
For an individual profile background photo (also known as a “cover” image) — like the one pictured above with the wooden wall and quote — 792 x 191 pixels is recommended. But for business profiles, the best cover photo dimensions are 1128 pixels wide by 191 pixels tall.
Is your LinkedIn profile picture saying what you think it’s saying? 😮
Studies show that we can’t see photos of ourselves objectively.
Because of this, we accidentally choose profile pictures that give a bad impression — costing us that job interview, opportunity, or even thousands of dollars off of a salary offer.
