LinkedIn is a feed of professionals scrolling fast, and a cropped logo or a squashed headshot undermines the exact credibility the post was meant to build. LinkedIn’s recommended size for images shared in posts — and for link-preview images — is 1200 × 627 pixels. This free tool opens with that preset loaded: upload your graphic, photo or screenshot, choose Fill or Fit, and download an image that renders exactly as you designed it.
The resizing happens in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, no watermark is added and there is no account or paywall between you and the download. A square 1080×1080 preset is included for the photo-post format many creators now prefer.
The 1200×627 specification, in context
LinkedIn displays shared images at a 1.91:1 ratio, and its own guidance for link shares and sponsored content puts the sweet spot at 1200 × 627 pixels, with 552 × 368 as the practical minimum below which images turn soft in the desktop feed. Post a much taller or wider file and LinkedIn centre-crops it for the feed preview — fine for a landscape photo, disastrous for an infographic whose headline lives at the top. Sizing the file yourself, before upload, is the only way to keep control of what colleagues and clients actually see. JPG export at 90% quality keeps a 1200×627 graphic crisp at a fraction of a megabyte, which also keeps Page posts loading instantly on office connections of every quality.
Personal profile, company page, same pixels
The feed treats personal and company-page posts identically, so one resized file serves your founder post, the company announcement and the employee-advocacy repost. Two placements do differ, and both are worth knowing: square images (1080×1080) occupy more vertical feed space on mobile, where most LinkedIn browsing happens, and are a legitimate alternative for photo-led posts — the preset is built in. Article-header images and event banners follow their own specs, but for the daily currency of the feed — the image post and the link share — 1200×627 is the number to remember.
Fill vs fit for professional graphics
Photographs belong in Fill mode: covered frame, centre crop, no distortion, nothing important lost if your subject is mid-frame. Designed graphics — charts, quote cards, webinar announcements, screenshots with captions — belong in Fit mode with a background colour matched to your brand, because cropping a chart’s axis labels or a slide’s footer helps nobody. A word on margins: LinkedIn’s mobile app trims a few pixels at the edges in some placements, so keep logos and text at least 40 pixels inside the frame. If your graphic was designed for Facebook’s 1200×630, the difference is three pixels of height — this tool’s preset handles it exactly rather than approximately.
One workflow for every network
Most teams announce the same thing on LinkedIn, Facebook and X on the same morning. Build the master visual once, then run it through the per-network presets — 1200×627 here, 1200×630 for Facebook, 1920×1080 or square where needed — and every feed gets a native-looking image instead of one compromise crop. It takes under a minute per network and is the cheapest professionalism upgrade a small team can make.
Check it on your phone before you post
One last professional habit: after resizing, open the exported file on your phone at feed size. LinkedIn’s audience is majority-mobile, and the crop that looked generous on a 27-inch monitor can feel tight in a phone feed — especially text near the edges and faces near the top. If anything important sits within a fingertip of the border, re-export with Fit and a brand-coloured background rather than Fill. Thirty seconds of checking is the whole difference between a post that looks art-directed and one that looks accidental, and on a network built on professional credibility, that difference is the post.
