1584 × 396
LinkedIn's recommended size for a profile background. The studio's 4:1 frame is the same shape.
- Clear of the photo
- Profile photo
On a desktop profile your photo sits over the lower left, about a fifth of the width. Phones crop the sides a little, so keep words away from the edges.

Six to start from
Rendered at 4:1 by the studio's own renderer. Each opens there at this size, ready to change and export.
Light where the words go
Most banners carry a line of text: what you do, a product name, a URL. Put it in the right two thirds, over the calmer part of the gradient, and let the colour gather on the left behind your photo, where nothing needs to be read.
Why a gradient works here
A banner is seen at a dozen sizes, from a full desktop profile to a thumbnail in search. Soft colour fields survive all of them, where a photo or a busy pattern turns to mush at the small end.
Company pages are a different size
A LinkedIn company page cover is 1128 × 191, closer to 6:1. Export at 4:1 and LinkedIn's cropper takes a centred band out of it; a gradient doesn't mind losing its top and bottom.
