Once a capability of only paid members, this header image is now open to everyone. Having a “Profile Header” is a powerful way to showcase your personal brand, get your company exposure in front of hundreds of potential clients and make a great first impression. Remember a picture is worth more than 1,000 words.
When designing the banner, make sure it’s a JPEG or PNG file that’s under 8MB in size with the correct dimension for the header being: 1584 pixels wide by 396 high. Have a look at where your profile and photo sit, depending on what page you are on LinkedIn. Be sure to leave some space at the bottom as the top section of your profile tends to cut into the image. It makes putting any content on the bottom of the banner header a bit difficult.
