LinkedIn Profile Picture Maker

Recruiters and colleagues usually meet your LinkedIn photo as a small circle next to a comment or search result, not as the full-size image on your profile. A 400×400 pixel crop with your face centered and filling most of the frame holds up at every size LinkedIn renders it.

How it works

  1. 1

    Add a photo

    The output size is preset to 400 × 400 pixels, with a circular preview because that's how it displays.

  2. 2

    Frame your face

    Drag to position and zoom until you're centered with a little headroom.

  3. 3

    Style it

    Add a background color, blurred backdrop, padding or a border ring.

  4. 4

    Download

    Or export several platform sizes at once as a ZIP.

Common uses

  • Crop a professional headshot to LinkedIn's recommended size
  • Turn a good photo from an event or wedding into a usable headshot
  • Check how a photo reads inside the circular display before uploading
  • Refresh an outdated profile photo before a job search

Good to know

  • LinkedIn displays the photo as a circle in feeds, search, and comments — center your face and keep it clear of the corners.
  • A head-and-shoulders crop where your face fills roughly 60% of the frame stays recognizable even at thumbnail size.
  • As of our last check (July 2026), 400×400 pixels is LinkedIn's recommended minimum; larger uploads are fine but get scaled down.
  • Export as JPEG — headshots are photos, and JPEG keeps the file small without visible loss at these dimensions.

Frequently asked questions

What size should a LinkedIn profile photo be?

LinkedIn recommends at least 400×400 pixels as of our last check (July 2026). The platform accepts much larger files, but everything is displayed scaled down, mostly as small circles.

How much of the frame should my face fill?

Around 60% is a good rule of thumb — close enough to be recognizable in a tiny comment avatar, far enough that the circular crop doesn't cut off your chin or hair.

Does the background of my photo matter?

A plain or softly blurred background keeps attention on your face at small sizes. Busy backgrounds turn into visual noise once the photo shrinks to a circle in the feed.

Will this tool store my headshot anywhere?

No — processing is entirely local to your browser. Nothing is uploaded to a server at any point.
