About the LinkedIn profile picture size
LinkedIn's personal profile picture accepts a minimum of 400 by 400 pixels and a maximum of 7680 by 4320, displayed as a circle. Uploading exactly the 400px minimum is fine, but going larger, 800 by 800 is a good target, gives LinkedIn more room to downscale cleanly across the many sizes it needs, from a large profile header down to a tiny avatar beside a comment. Because the circle mask trims the corners, a centred headshot with a little breathing room works best.
Quick tips
- 01LinkedIn accepts 400 by 400 up to 7680 by 4320; 800 by 800 is a sharp, safe target.
- 02Displayed as a circle, so keep your face centred with margin around the edges.
- 03JPG or PNG only, up to 8 MB.

How this spec was checked
Platform sizes change without notice, so this entry records what it was verified against rather than stating a number and hoping it holds. Last checked July 2, 2026.
ConventionLinkedIn does not publish a size for this surface. The number below is the one the industry has standardised on, which is a useful answer but not a claim about LinkedIn.
Every spec on this site carries one of those two labels. See the cheat sheet for the full split, and the changelog for every correction with the date it happened.
