What image size does LinkedIn recommend for posts?
Shared link images: 1200x628px. Square posts: 1080x1080px. Tall/portrait posts: 1080x1350px. LinkedIn profile banners: 1584x396px. All images should be under 5MB.
Why do LinkedIn images look washed out?
LinkedIn desaturates and compresses images above certain sizes. Using an sRGB color profile and pre-compressing to the right dimensions before upload preserves color fidelity better.
Should I upload landscape or square images to LinkedIn?
Square (1:1) and portrait (4:5) images take more feed real estate than landscape, leading to higher engagement rates. LinkedIn's feed displays landscape images smaller relative to square ones.
