Resize a LinkedIn profile photo for every placement
A profile photo appears much smaller in comments, messages, search results, and connection requests than it does on the main profile. Use the small circular preview to prioritize recognition instead of judging the crop only at full size.
Small-size preview
Check whether the headshot stays recognizable after the platform displays it as a circle.
Two useful sizes
Download a compact 400px file or retain an 800px square master for future reuse.

Your portrait stays on your device while the browser completes every editing step.
LinkedIn profile picture size and format
LinkedIn lists 400 × 400 pixels as the lower end of its profile-photo range, with an 8 MB file limit and JPG or PNG input. Its own photo guidance also recommends letting your face fill about 60% of the frame.

LinkedIn headshot framing checklist
- Your face remains clear in the small circular preview.
- Hair, glasses, and chin stay away from the circle edge.
- The background does not distract from the subject.
- The source is sharp enough before it is resized.
- The square file opens correctly before you upload it.
Square upload, circular display
Do not permanently cut away the square corners just because a profile screen uses a circle. A square upload is more reusable and lets the platform apply its own mask.
Keep the eyes and central facial features comfortably inside the circular guide. A crop that looks balanced at full size can still feel too tight when reduced to a small comment avatar.
Need sizes for several destinations? Use the multi-platform profile picture resizer. If you need to crop an image into a circle and download a round file, use the dedicated circle tool instead.
