About this tool
Plan a 1584x396 profile or 1128x191 company banner with the avatar overlap mapped and a safe text zone you can export.
LinkedIn Banner Maker lays out a profile background at LinkedIn's recommended 1584 × 396 pixels, or a company page cover at 1128 × 191, and measures the largest rectangle of artwork that clears the circular profile photo overlapping the lower left. It reports the safe zone in exact pixel coordinates, checks the headline size against the width the banner actually renders at, and exports an SVG guide layer to paste into Figma, Illustrator or Canva. Sizes come from LinkedIn's own guidance; the avatar overlap is an adjustable approximation of the current layout.
Open LinkedIn Banner Maker on AltFTool — it loads instantly in your browser.
Add your input to the workspace.
Adjust the options until the result looks right.
Copy or download the output and put it to work.
The safe rectangle is computed from the avatar circle and the edge trim, and given in pixel coordinates.
Compares the area available to the right of the avatar against the strip above it, and recommends the larger.
Outputs an SVG overlay at full canvas size, so your design tool shows the exclusion zone in place.
1584 × 396 pixels for a personal profile background — a 4:1 ratio — and 1128 × 191 pixels for a company page cover. Keep the file under 8 MB and upload JPG or PNG; only the first frame of a GIF is used.
On desktop the circular profile photo overlaps the lower-left corner of the background image, so anything placed there disappears. Keep logos and text to the right of the circle, or in the strip above it, and leave a margin because LinkedIn crops a few pixels from each edge.
Almost always because the source was smaller than 1584 pixels wide and got upscaled, or because heavy JPEG compression was applied to fine text. Export at exactly 1584 × 396 and use PNG for flat graphics with type.
Work backwards from the display size. A 1584 px banner is often rendered around 1128 px wide on a desktop and far smaller on mobile, so 64 px type in the file shows at roughly 46 px on desktop. Anything under about 12 px on screen becomes unreadable.
