LINKEDIN BANNER IMAGES
AI LinkedIn banner images for profiles and company pages
A LinkedIn banner sits behind the profile photo or company logo at the top of the page, and it is the widest image on any LinkedIn profile. LinkedIn's help center lists the recommended size as 1512 by 256 pixels, with a note that the image may be cropped on different devices and that placing important information in the center keeps it visible everywhere. ImageQuarry lets you describe a wide, shallow banner composition, then ask for changes in words: shift the palette, move the focal point to the center, add a seasonal texture. Each request makes a new version while the earlier ones stay.
LinkedIn banners are very wide and shallow. Keep text and logos in the center third so they survive cropping on phones and tablets.

From a brief to a finished LinkedIn banner
- 01
Describe the wide composition
Name the background, the mood and where the focal point sits. The banner is extremely wide, so describe a panoramic scene or a horizontal pattern rather than a centered portrait subject. Place key elements in the center third.
- 02
Adjust the layout in words
Ask for a more muted palette, a different texture, or a shift in where the empty space sits. Say what to keep: "Keep the gradient direction and the center element." Each version comes from the selected one.
- 03
Download and test the crop
Compare versions, choose one, and download it. Upload a preview to LinkedIn and check that the center content is visible on both desktop and mobile before publishing.
Requests written for LinkedIn banners

Subtle cityscape for a consulting page
A muted skyline adds location context without dominating.
Abstract pattern for a tech company
A repeating geometric pattern signals precision and modernity.
Seasonal refresh
Change the banner to mark a new quarter or a holiday season.
Photo-based banner with crop adjustment

What LinkedIn banners need to get right
LinkedIn recommends 1512 by 256 pixels
LinkedIn's help center lists 1512 by 256 pixels for the cover image on company and personal pages, making it nearly six times wider than it is tall.
Center content survives all devices
LinkedIn notes that the banner may be cropped differently on phones, tablets and desktops, and recommends placing important information in the center so it stays visible.
Maximum file size is 3 megabytes
LinkedIn's help center states a 3 megabyte limit for uploaded images, with PNG or JPEG accepted. High-resolution JPEG is recommended over PNG at the same quality.
The profile photo overlaps the banner
On personal profiles, the circular profile photo sits over the lower left of the banner. On company pages, the logo sits lower. Keep both areas clear of critical content.
Every version keeps its path
Each change produces a new version and the earlier ones are preserved, with the prompt, the uploaded source and any references that produced them.
Banner layouts and what to ask for
| Layout | Use case | Request to start from |
|---|---|---|
| Solid gradient | Personal brand, minimal | "Charcoal to teal gradient, wide, no objects." |
| Muted cityscape | Consulting, location-based business | "Desaturated skyline at dusk, key detail centered." |
| Geometric pattern | Tech company, SaaS | "Hexagonal outlines in slate on navy, lighter in center." |
| Photo extension | Team or office photo reframed | "Extend background outward, team centered in the middle third." |
| Seasonal overlay | Quarterly refresh | "Gold shimmer overlay on center third. Keep the base gradient." |
What an AI LinkedIn banner image is
An AI LinkedIn banner image is the wide background photo at the top of a LinkedIn profile or company page, created from a written description or changed from a photo you upload. In ImageQuarry it starts a conversation: describe the layout, refine it in words, and keep every version.
It is not a LinkedIn post image, and it is not a company logo. A banner sets the visual tone for the whole page and should be simple enough to work behind the profile photo or logo.
Questions about AI LinkedIn banner images
What size should a LinkedIn banner be?
LinkedIn's help center lists 1512 by 256 pixels for company and personal cover images. Describe a very wide, shallow composition, then check the download matches these dimensions.
Why does my banner get cropped on mobile?
LinkedIn crops the banner differently on each device. The help center recommends centering important content so it stays visible regardless of the screen size.
Can I start from a team photo?
Yes. Upload the photo and ask to extend the background outward so the team sits in the center third. The original stays as the first version, and the extended version becomes the banner.
How do I update the banner for a new season?
Start from the current banner version and ask for a seasonal overlay, a palette shift or a new accent. The previous version stays in the workspace so you can revert after the season.
Can I use a brand reference for the palette?
Yes. Add a reference image with the palette you want and ask for those tones. References guide the result, so review each version to see how closely it follows them.
What does ImageQuarry cost?
Every plan is paid: Starter at $9 per month with 100 image credits a month, or Pro at $29 per month with 300 image credits a month.
Pricing
| ImageQuarry plan | Price | Includes |
