LinkedIn pictures are wonderful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They allow you a lot of room to show off your personality and they\u2019re technically free visual real estate that comes with your LinkedIn profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But, are you maximizing that space with the right photo dimensions?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In today\u2019s guide, I want to go through LinkedIn image dimensions and other details that will help you take your pictures to the next level.<\/p>\n\n\n
Have you ever uploaded a photo only to have a part of it cut off?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or, imagine uploading a photo just to have it come up as a little pixelated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That’s the problem with the wrong dimensions, the moment you upload something that isn’t the right size, the platform will automatically stretch, compress or crop it so that it will fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, if you’re a growth hacker that prioritizes maximizing every pixel of space, you want to make sure that your images go up to convert as intended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Being efficient with what you have is a critical part of aiming for better growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And, that includes counting the pixels that you’re using up when accounting for LinkedIn image dimensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your LinkedIn profile picture will come cropped in a circle, usually placed on the bottom left-hand side of your header image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s important to keep this in mind especially if you\u2019re going to use your header image as visual real estate to showcase your products and to host CTAs like what we do at BAMF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The last thing you want is an important part of your header image cut off by a photo of you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here\u2019s what.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can do yourself a solid and make sure that your face is in the middle of the 400 x 400 photo that you\u2019re going to upload. This helps to prevent your head\/hair from being cut off unnecessarily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, consider using a non-distracting backdrop for your profile or removing the background altogether to make sure that you set it apart from the header image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can use the Clipping Magic<\/a> tool to strip backgrounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
