Why these sizes matter

LinkedIn's image requirements are stricter than other platforms — images below the minimum size are rejected, and poorly sized cover images appear stretched or offset. The post format (1200×627) closely matches OG image dimensions, making it easy to repurpose assets. Company covers (1584×396) have a very wide aspect ratio that requires purpose-built designs.

Use cases

Company page design

The 1584×396 cover placeholder helps you verify that your brand banner layout works at LinkedIn's unusual aspect ratio before the final asset is produced.

Content calendar planning

Mock up a week of LinkedIn posts in Figma using placeholder images at the correct dimensions. Review the visual rhythm before the photography is scheduled.

Newsletter and article templates

LinkedIn newsletter headers render at 744×400px. Use a placeholder to design the header template before sourcing topic-specific illustrations.
