Resize an image for a LinkedIn cover
LinkedIn's profile banner is a strange strip: 1584 × 396, a 4:1 ratio that turns most photos into an accidental abstract. Preparing the crop yourself is the difference between a considered banner and a random slice of sky.
The resizer opens preset to 1584 × 396. Cover mode shows exactly which horizontal band of your image survives — adjust or pre-crop with the crop tool until the strip reads well.

Frequently asked questions
Why does my banner look zoomed-in on LinkedIn?
If you upload a non-4:1 image, LinkedIn scales it to fill the strip and crops the rest. Sizing to 1584 × 396 beforehand means what you preview here is what renders there.
What content works at 4:1?
Wide landscapes, skylines, gradients, and text kept near the horizontal center. Portraits and square compositions fight the format and usually lose.
