Useful LinkedIn post canvases for current creative work
LinkedIn supports a wider ratio range than a single “correct” size. Choose the shape around the job the post needs to do.
| Format | Dimensions | Ratio | Design note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Portrait post | 1080 × 1350 px | 4:5 | Practical maximum-height organic photo canvas. |
| Square post | 1200 × 1200 px | 1:1 | Flexible format across desktop and mobile workflows. |
| Landscape post | 1200 × 628 px | 1.91:1 | Common wide format for sponsored and link-style creative. |
| Organic photo acceptance | Minimum 552 × 276 px | 3:1 to 4:5 | LinkedIn recommends 1080 px width for stronger image quality. |
Choose the ratio around the reading experience
Keep executive content legible
For thought leadership, charts and typography, prioritise readability over squeezing too much into the image.
Mock up the copy too
LinkedIn creative is judged alongside profile information, post copy and engagement, not in isolation.
What designers need to know
LinkedIn has more flexibility than many old templates suggest
LinkedIn’s current photo guidance supports aspect ratios from 3:1 through to 4:5. That means teams do not need to force every idea into the old square-or-landscape defaults.
For 2027 planning, keep reusable source files flexible and preview the chosen ratio inside a realistic feed before the work reaches stakeholders.
