Upload guidance
Avoid awkward LinkedIn profile photo crops by checking square framing, circular crop risk, and image clarity.
LinkedIn profile photos usually start as square images, but they are often displayed inside a circle. Corners can disappear, and subjects near the edge can feel crowded. For banner crops, see why LinkedIn banners crop on mobile.
Faces, logos, and important details should sit near the middle with some room around them. This makes the image more dependable in feeds, search, and profile cards.
Before uploading, check that the image is square, large enough, and not relying on corner details that may be cropped away.
