Mobile framing

Add an image to see the mobile crop.

LinkedIn banners need to survive desktop width, mobile side cropping, and profile photo overlap.

This is a static example. The checker above uses your actual image to show the personalized preview before upload.

What this checks

Checks whether your LinkedIn banner has the right wide shape, enough resolution, a supported file type, and a center-safe area for important text or logos.

Common problems

LinkedIn banners can look fine on desktop but lose edge content on mobile. Text, logos, or faces near the left and right edges are the most common risk.

What the preview means

Use the guidance preview to keep important content near the center. The crop overlay is an approximation of where side content may be trimmed on smaller screens.

Good to know

This check helps you avoid obvious LinkedIn banner crop problems, but LinkedIn can still adjust display details across devices.
