A banner that works on every screen

LinkedIn shows the banner at different crops on desktop, tablet and phone. Designs with the important part in the middle-right survive all of them. A plain background with a short line of text, such as your role or a tagline, reads best.

Choosing an image

Because the ratio is so wide, tall photos lose most of their content when cropped. Start with a landscape image, ideally at least 1584 pixels wide, so the result stays sharp.

Part of my banner is hidden behind my profile photo. Why?

The profile picture overlaps the bottom-left of the banner, more so on mobile. Keep text and logos in the centre and right side.
