LinkedIn Banner Maker

Free LinkedIn cover photo maker at the real 1584×396 size.

1584 × 396 px

Drag the text to move it. Drop a photo anywhere on the banner to use it as the background. What is on the canvas is what gets written into the file — the dimmed border and the circle are guides, and are not.

On the banner

Where it goes

1584 × 396 — the 4:1 shape LinkedIn asks for on a personal profile. Your photo sits over the bottom-left corner.

Look

Colours, pattern and type styling. Your words, their size and where you put them are left alone.

Background
Pattern and shape
Logo or photo on top

A transparent PNG works best. Drag it anywhere on the banner once it is in.

The safe default. Reads as LinkedIn does, and is installed everywhere.

Save as

Lossless, and the right answer for flat colour, gradients and type. Heavier than a JPG, and still far inside LinkedIn’s 8 MB limit at this size.

How it works

How to make a LinkedIn banner?

  1. Start from a look

    Pick one of eight looks. It sets the background and type style around what you already wrote.

  2. Put your words on it

    Add your name, role and link. Drag each line into place, then set font, size and colour.

  3. Add a photo or a logo

    Drop a photo as the background, or a transparent PNG logo on top. Re-frame, blur or darken as needed.

  4. Check the safe area, download

    Use the crop guides and profile preview, then download a PNG, JPG or WebP at 1584×396.

The sizes

Every LinkedIn banner size, and what crops them

A LinkedIn banner is not one rectangle. The personal profile cover is a 4:1 strip, a company page gets something much shallower, and an event gets its own. Each is drawn here at its own size, and the layout carries across when you switch between them.

WherePixelsShapeWhat eats into it
Personal profile1584 × 3964:1Your profile photo over the bottom-left; the sides cropped on a phone
Company or showcase page1128 × 191≈5.9:1The square page logo at the bottom-left, and a harder mobile crop
Event cover1776 × 4444:1Nothing overlaps it, but it is re-cropped in the feed and in invites

LinkedIn accepts JPG and PNG up to 8 MB. Nothing this tool draws comes close to that, but a full-resolution photo saved as a PNG can — the size is measured after the export and flagged if it does.

Features

What this one does

The right size, already

Personal 1584×396, company 1128×191, event 1776×444. Pick the surface — the canvas is that size.

The safe area, drawn on

Phone crop and profile-photo circle shown while you work, so nothing important ends up hidden.

Seen on a profile before you post it

Desktop and phone previews from the same export code. The phone view shows the real crop.

Eight looks, your words

Each look sets background, pattern and type style — never your copy, size or placement.

Your own photo, framed by hand

Drag, zoom, blur and tint any photo until type sits cleanly on top.

Type that behaves

Fonts, weight, caps, alignment, spacing — plus shadow or a band for text over photos.

Logos and headshots

Drop a logo or cut-out, drag it, mask it round or square, and add a plate if you need contrast.

Nothing is uploaded

Drawn and saved in your browser. Photo, logo and name never leave your device.

No watermark, no export queue

Full-size download the moment you click. No stamp, no paid tier.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What size should a LinkedIn banner be?

Personal profiles: 1584×396. Company pages: 1128×191. Events: 1776×444. This tool exports at those exact sizes. LinkedIn accepts JPG and PNG up to 8 MB.

Where does my profile photo cover the banner?

Bottom-left on desktop — about the leftmost 15% of the width. Turn on the safe area to see the circle (or square logo on a company page) while you design.

Why does my banner look cropped on the LinkedIn app?

The app shows a narrower slice than desktop — roughly the middle 1128 px. The dimmed border and phone preview mark what survives.

Is it really free, and do I need an account?

Free, no signup, no watermark, no export limit, no paid tier.

Do my photo and logo get uploaded?

No. Everything is decoded, drawn and saved in your browser — nothing reaches a server.

Can I use my own photo as the background?

Yes. Drop a JPG, PNG, WebP or AVIF, then re-frame, blur and tint it so type stays readable.
