Best crop for LinkedIn
Use a square image with your face centered. Leave enough room around the head and shoulders so the circular crop does not cut off important parts of the image.
- Square upload
- Face centered
- Head and shoulders visible
- No tight edge crop
- Readable at small sizes
Where crop matters most
Your LinkedIn image appears in search, comments, messages, profile headers, and connection suggestions. It needs to work even when displayed very small.
FAQ
LinkedIn Headshot Crop questions
How should I crop my LinkedIn headshot?
Use a centered head-and-shoulders crop inside a square image.
Should my full body be visible?
No. LinkedIn profile photos usually work better as head-and-shoulders images.
Why does my photo look tiny?
The face may be too small in the frame. Crop closer while leaving safe space for the circle.
