Resize LinkedIn Profile Picture to 400×400

Prepare a LinkedIn profile photo with a centered square crop. The tool targets 400×400 pixels and a JPG of up to 500 KB, and your image is processed in your browser.

Your image is processed only in this browser. It is never uploaded to a server, stored or shared, and no account is needed. Check the destination’s current requirements before uploading.

The image is centered and the output dimensions adapt to the file-size limit. Keep the main subject near the center for a clear crop. File sizes use decimal units: 1 KB = 1,000 bytes and 1 MB = 1,000 KB. Your image is processed on your device.

LinkedIn profile photo size

LinkedIn recommends a square profile photo starting at 400×400 pixels. The image is displayed as a circle, so keep your face centered and use a professional head-and-shoulders crop.

How it works

  1. Choose the photo you want on your LinkedIn profile.
  2. Check the 400×400 preset and the 500 KB limit, then select Prepare.
  3. Look at the preview to see how the circle will frame you.
  4. Download the JPG and upload it in your LinkedIn profile settings.

LinkedIn profile picture dimensions: 400×400 pixels

LinkedIn shows your profile photo in a circle, both on your profile and next to posts and messages. A 400×400 square works for that size. The tool crops around the center, so keep your face near the middle of the original and leave some space above your head.

If you need a wide banner for the top of your profile, that is a different size. This page only prepares the square profile photo.

Shrink a LinkedIn photo to 500 KB or less

A smaller file uploads faster and loads quickly for people viewing your profile on a phone. The tool compresses the JPG to stay under 500 KB and adjusts the dimensions only when needed. File sizes are decimal, so 1 KB equals 1,000 bytes.

If the original is a low-resolution screenshot, the result will look soft at 400×400. A new photo taken in good light gives better results than enlarging a small image.

Because LinkedIn profile photos appear in comments, messages and search results, a clear everyday portrait works well. Use a photo that matches your current appearance and a friendly expression. If you want a more formal picture for an application or bio, use the professional headshot page instead.

Frame a photo that reads well at a small size

Profile photos appear small in feeds, so a clear face with simple lighting reads better than a busy scene. Existing backgrounds stay in the output, and transparent areas become white.

Check the preview at a small size before you download to be sure your expression still comes through.

Look at the preview first, then check the picture on your phone after upload, since that is where many people will see it. Small changes in the crop, such as moving the head a little higher, can make a noticeable difference.
