How do you check a LinkedIn post image?
Drop your photo into the checker and it compares the file with LinkedIn’s photo rules: at least 552 × 276 px, ideally 1080 px wide, a shape between 3:1 and 4:5, and under 5 MB. The feed preview then shows how much of a phone screen it fills and whether anything gets trimmed.

What size should a LinkedIn post image be?
Use 1080 × 1350 px for the most space in the feed, 1080 × 1080 px for a square, or 1200 × 628 px for landscape. LinkedIn accepts any photo that is at least 552 × 276 px, between 3:1 and 4:5 in shape and under 5 MB, and it recommends a width of at least 1080 px.
| Shape | Size to use | Phone screen it fills | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Portrait 4:5 | 1080 × 1350 px | About 67% | Tips, quotes and graphics you want people to stop on |
| Square 1:1 | 1080 × 1080 px | About 54% | Photos and charts that also go to other networks |
| Landscape 1.91:1 | 1200 × 628 px | About 28% | Event photos, screenshots and wide charts |
| Widescreen 16:9 | 1920 × 1080 px | About 30% | Video stills and slides, shown without a crop |
Limits from LinkedIn’s help page “Share photos on LinkedIn”: 552 × 276 px minimum, 1080 px width recommended, 3:1 to 4:5 shape, 5 MB per photo, 20 photos per post. Screen share assumes a 375 px wide phone showing about 700 px of feed.
Why does LinkedIn crop my image?
LinkedIn crops any photo that is taller than 4:5 or wider than 3:1. It keeps the centre and cuts the top and bottom of a tall photo, such as a 9:16 phone screenshot, or the sides of a panorama. Crop it yourself first so you choose what stays in view.
In the checker, pick 4:5 for a tall photo or 1.91:1 for a wide one, then drag the frame over the part that matters. The original file is never changed.
How does LinkedIn arrange multiple photos?
The first photo decides the layout. Two photos sit side by side and keep their shapes. With three or more, a landscape first photo spans the top with the others in a row below, while a portrait or square first photo takes the left column with the others stacked on the right. A post can hold up to 20 photos.
The feed shows four tiles and puts a “+” count on the last one when there are more. Reorder photos in the checker to compare layouts.
How do you keep text readable in a LinkedIn image?
Look at the image at phone size before you post. Keep to one idea, use large type with strong contrast, and leave space around the edges. If you have to zoom in to read a line in the phone preview, most people scrolling past won’t read it either.
Let the image carry one idea and put the detail in your post. The Text Formatter helps you shape the opening lines that appear before “…more”.
