Semurai Canvas
Design it in Semurai Canvas
Start at the exact size, from a template or a blank page, and apply your Brand Kit: logo, colours and fonts. The AI chat edits the design when you ask.
Create a design, open Resize, choose “Resize this design” and set 1584 × 396 px (any size from 200 to 6000 px).
These templates come with an “Apply my brand” switch.
After sign-up and a short brand setup, Canvas opens a blank 1584 × 396 px design.

LinkedIn banner dimensions for your profile
Use 1584 × 396 px: LinkedIn does not publish a size for the personal background photo, and 1584 × 396 px (4:1) is the size that fits it.
Your profile photo usually sits over the lower left of the banner, and phones crop the sides. Keep words and logos near the centre, clear of the photo. Design guides put the file limit at 8 MB, in JPG or PNG.
Company page cover: 1512 × 256 px
A company page cover is 1512 × 256 px, and for this one LinkedIn does publish the size: the minimum and the recommended size are the same.
Many guides still list 1128 × 191 px, the old size. LinkedIn may trim the cover horizontally or vertically depending on the screen, so keep key details away from the edges, especially the lower right. Use PNG or JPEG, up to 3 MB.
Common LinkedIn banner mistakes
A common mistake is using one file for both: a company cover (about 5.9:1) is much flatter than a profile banner (4:1).
Others are text in the lower left, under the profile photo, and words too small to read on a phone. If you have Premium Business, Sales Navigator or Recruiter, you can upload up to five covers as a slideshow, so keep them in one style.
Tips
- Leave the lower left of a profile banner empty: your profile photo usually covers it.
- Keep text near the centre so phones do not crop it.
- Make a separate company cover at 1512 × 256 px instead of squeezing the profile banner.
- Use PNG for logos and flat colour, JPG for photos.
How to make it in Semurai Canvas
- Create a design in Semurai Canvas and pick a LinkedIn banner template (1584 × 396 px), or start blank and set the size in Resize.
- Switch on “Apply my brand” for your logo, colours and fonts, and keep the lower left clear for your profile photo.
- Export a PNG or JPG. For a company page, use Resize to make a 1512 × 256 px copy and check the layout.
