How to resize for LinkedIn

  1. Open the Resize tool and add your photo.
  2. Crop to a square first for the profile photo so nothing important is cut by the circle.
  3. Set the pixel dimensions for the format you need.
  4. Download and upload.
Your profile photo shows in a circle — keep your face centred with a little space around it so the circular crop doesn't clip your head.

Keep it professional and sharp

Use a clear, well-lit headshot with a simple background. Resize down to the exact pixels rather than uploading a huge file, so LinkedIn doesn't compress it into softness. Export as JPG at high quality.

Do it privately

A browser resizer works on your device, so your photo isn't uploaded before you post it.
