Practical Production Tips for LinkedIn
Protect the Personal Banner Left Zone
On personal LinkedIn profiles, your circular avatar overlaps the bottom-left of your header banner. On mobile, it shifts slightly inward. Avoid placing logos, contact details, or credentials in the leftmost 400px of your 1584×396 canvas.
PDF Document Carousels Beat Single Images
Multi-slide PDF documents formatted at 4:5 (1080×1350) or 1:1 (1080×1080) drive significantly higher dwell time and comment velocity than static single-image posts on LinkedIn.
Format Link Previews with 1200 × 627 Open Graph Images
When sharing external blog posts or company announcements, ensure your CMS sets og:image dimensions to 1200×627. If an image is smaller than 600×314, LinkedIn shrinks it to a tiny thumbnail alongside a plain text snippet.
Keep Video Under 3 Minutes for Organic Reach
Although LinkedIn supports video uploads up to 15 minutes, videos formatted in 1:1 (1080×1080) or 4:5 under 90 seconds see peak completion rates in corporate mobile feeds.
