A Banner That Builds Credibility
Correct size, professional result
Opens at 1584×396 — the exact LinkedIn banner size. Looks intentional on both personal profiles and company pages without stretching or cropping.
Background, message, logo
Layer a refined background, a concise value statement or role, and your logo or headshot. Clean, readable layout with full drag-resize-rotate control per layer.
Profile photo covers the lower-left
The ~120×120px profile photo overlaps the lower-left corner. Putting text or a logo there is the most common LinkedIn banner mistake. Center your content or shift it right.
Specific beats branded
"Product designer at Series B startups" outperforms a generic logo background. The banner is visible in search results too — make the one line of text count.
Keep text readable at small sizes
Your banner renders small next to the profile — roughly a third of screen width on desktop and even less on mobile. Use a font size that stays legible when scaled down, keep strong contrast between text and background, and limit yourself to one short line. A dark overlay behind light text rescues busy photo backgrounds.
LinkedIn Banner Tips
Watch the profile photo overlap
On personal profiles, the photo sits as a ~180×180px circle over the lower-left. Any logo or text you put there will be hidden. Keep important content centered or right-aligned.
Say something specific
"Product designer at Series B startups" is more memorable than a generic brand background. The banner's job is to communicate what you do before anyone clicks through.
Think thumbnail-first
Most people see your profile in search results before they click — the banner is visible there too, at a much smaller size. Make sure the message is legible at thumbnail scale.
Company pages are very narrow
The company page banner (1128×191) is about a 6:1 ratio — extremely wide and short. A simple background with a centered logo is more effective than trying to fit copy.
LinkedIn Banner Sizes
Personal Profile
1584 × 396
Profile photo (~180×180) overlaps the lower-left corner. Keep text centered or shifted right.
Company Page
1128 × 191
Very narrow strip. A simple background + logo is all that fits cleanly.
Career Page
1128 × 376
More height for employer branding, team photos, or a values statement.
Showcase Page
1128 × 376
Same dimensions as career pages. Product-focused brands use these for sub-brands.

What people use it for
The jobs the editor was built around — and what it does differently on each one.
Colourways you can revisit
Every edit is a layer, not a bake. When the brand shifts, reopen the file and change the colour rather than rebuilding the variant from the original.
Cutouts with awkward edges
AI background removal that keeps hair, foliage and soft shadows instead of stamping a hard outline around them. The output is a transparent PNG, ready to place.
No export, edit, re-import loop
The Framer plugin runs on the canvas you are already working in, so a recolour or a cutout does not mean a round trip through a second application.
Ten options in the time one used to take
Recolour once and step through the alternatives, so a client review can look at the whole range instead of the one version there was time to make.
Brand colours matched exactly
Pick a colour straight off an existing asset and get the hex, rather than eyeballing it against a screenshot and hoping it is close enough.
Free to preview, priced per export
Previewing is unlimited and costs nothing. A credit is spent only when you download a full-resolution file, so exploring an idea is never the expensive part.
