1584x396 LinkedIn cover backgrounds and matching post images
Create a clean LinkedIn cover background that supports your professional profile. Start with a wide profile canvas or choose a post preset, then customize the background colors. Leave room for profile interface elements when you add text in your design app, and check the crop after uploading. Use the 1584 × 396 profile banner as a 4:1 starting canvas, then create a separate post image using the same colors rather than compressing the cover into a square.

How to design a 1584x396 LinkedIn cover background
A profile cover has less vertical space than a normal landscape image. A simple backdrop leaves room for the profile interface and a short message.
Preview a LinkedIn profile banner in its 4:1 proportions
The 1584 × 396 starting canvas has a 4:1 ratio. Choose your colors while viewing this wide shape rather than designing a square first. A gentle horizontal gradient can provide variety without relying on small details that disappear in the shallow crop.
Keep branding away from vulnerable edges
Add your logo or message in a design editor after downloading the background. Profile photos and responsive crops can affect the visible area, so avoid treating the entire rectangle as a guaranteed safe zone. Check the actual uploaded cover on the devices you use.
Create separate assets for posts
A profile cover and a feed post serve different shapes and viewing sizes. Use the landscape or square post preset for a matching post instead of squeezing a cover into that frame. Consistency can come from reusing colors and gradient direction rather than repeating the same crop.

What is a useful starting size for a LinkedIn profile cover?
The 1584 × 396 preset is a common starting canvas. The visible crop can vary by screen, so check your uploaded cover and keep key content near the central area.
