Resize a LinkedIn photo or video to fit

LinkedIn rejects oversized profile and banner images with an unhelpful message. Pick the preset, drop your image in, and upload the result.

  • Nothing is uploaded. Your browser does the compression, so the file stays on your device.
  • Lands under the real limit. We aim a little below it, so the upload goes through first time.
  • Fast. A 30 second 1080p clip fits into 10 MB in about two seconds on a desktop.
Where are you sending it?

Limit 5.00 MB. We aim for 4.70 MB, 300 KB of safety margin. Source, checked November 2026. LinkedIn Help: photos shared in posts are limited to 5 MB.

How the LinkedIn limit works

Profile and banner images have a small size cap, around 5 MB in our preset, and recommended dimensions. A sharp photo at the right size looks better than a huge one that LinkedIn has to shrink anyway.

Videos for posts can be much bigger, but a trimmed, compressed clip loads faster in the feed, which helps people actually watch it.

Sizes we target

  • LinkedIn photo, 5 MB: LinkedIn profile and banner images need to stay small. Source (checked 2026-11-09)
  • LinkedIn video, 200 MB: A practical size for LinkedIn post videos. (typical size, not an official limit) Source (checked 2026-11-09)

We aim below each limit by the margin shown. Use the menu above to switch.

Tips

  • Use JPEG for photos of people. PNG is only needed for logos with sharp edges or transparency.

Questions people ask

What size should a LinkedIn photo be?

Keep it under about 5 MB and use a square crop for the profile picture. LinkedIn's help page has the current dimensions.

Can I compress a PDF here?

Not yet. This tool handles video and images.

Limits change. We link the official page wherever there is one, and the safety margin means a small change is unlikely to matter. Last updated 2026-11-09.
