| Image type | Recommended dimensions | Aspect ratio |
|---|---|---|
| LinkedIn personal profile cover | 1,584 × 396 px | 4:1 |
| LinkedIn Page/company cover | 4,200 × 700 px | 6:1 |
| X/Twitter profile header | 1,500 × 500 px | 3:1 |
These are the platforms' published recommendations checked on November 3, 2026. LinkedIn's profile cover guidance differs from its Page image specifications; X lists its header recommendation.
LinkedIn recommends a 1,584 × 396-pixel cover image for a personal profile, a 4:1 aspect ratio. The profile editor lets you crop and reposition the image, and LinkedIn notes that its display can vary with browser-window size and screen resolution. Keep a logo, name, or other important detail near the center rather than close to the edges.
LinkedIn's current Page image specifications recommend a 4,200 × 700-pixel cover image. The very wide 6:1 layout differs from the personal profile cover. LinkedIn warns that the Page cover may be adjusted or cropped across screen sizes, so place important text and logos away from the edges. Confirm the current Page image specifications before designing, since platform requirements can change.
X recommends a 1,500 × 500-pixel header image, a 3:1 aspect ratio. X says that up to 60 pixels at the top and bottom may be cropped on some displays. Keep text and logos away from those edges and preview the image on more than one screen. The platform supports JPG, GIF, and PNG for profile/header images; animated GIFs are not supported for headers.
Use 1,500 × 500 pixels as X's recommended header size. Some displays can crop up to 60 pixels from the top and bottom.
