Quick answer: a personal LinkedIn cover is 1584×396 (4:1), a Company Page cover is 1128×191 (~5.9:1), the profile photo is 400×400, and an event cover is 1776×444. Keep the personal cover's content in the centered 1350×220 area because mobile crops the edges.

The two covers are different shapes

This is the single most common mistake on LinkedIn: personal profiles and Company Pages use different cover dimensions. A personal cover is 4:1 and 396 pixels tall; a company cover is roughly 5.9:1 and only 191 pixels tall. Uploading one into the other causes either horizontal bars or an aggressive center crop. Build them as separate files.

Personal cover

The personal banner is the only place on a profile with room for a statement. The mobile safe zone is roughly the central 1350×220 pixels, and the profile photo overlaps the lower-left. Workable layouts: a centered tagline and focus area, a "what I'm working on now" note on the right, or a clean brand pattern with the words out of the avatar's corner. A 396-pixel-tall canvas is not room for a paragraph — one line of title and one line of context is the ceiling.

Company Page cover

The company cover is a much flatter strip: 1128×191. At that height, even a 20-pixel tagline is a significant fraction of the frame. Companies that reuse their personal banner get the top and bottom sliced off, usually cutting a wordmark in half. Keep the company cover to a centered wordmark on a brand field, or a single phrase in large type. Anything smaller than a short tagline is unreadable at the rendered size.

Personal profile photos upload at 400×400 (200×200 minimum) and render as a circle in the feed. The company logo is square and appears beside every employee profile and in search. Both follow the same rule as every circular slot: the mark in the center, nothing in the corners.

Event and Life tab

Event covers are 1776×444, a 4:1 strip similar to the personal banner, and they are the one LinkedIn slot where a date and time genuinely belong. Life tab images on Company Pages run 1128×376 (3:1) for culture and recruitment pages.

What a good cover actually does

A cover is a position statement, not a resume. For a founder, the strongest version says what you are building and for whom, which also reinforces the company's own page when the two are designed together. A generic stock gradient is the default, and the default does nothing. A full LinkedIn image and post size guide covers feed posts; the social media image sizes hub covers the rest.

Producing both at once

Founders need both covers simultaneously, plus a circle-safe profile and an event cover for launches. The pieces share a wordmark and palette but differ in height, and hand-cropping one layout into a 5.9:1 strip is where logos get cut. Neatico can produce the personal and company covers as a matched set from one brand description.
