SVG vs PNG for LinkedIn Banners
Why LinkedIn banners need raster uploads and how to design them crisply with SVG.
LinkedIn Banner Requirements
LinkedIn profile and company page banners require PNG or JPG uploads at specific pixel dimensions. Design your banner's logo and text elements in SVG for sharp results, then export to the exact size.
- LinkedIn banners need PNG/JPG, not SVG
- Profile banner: 1584x396; company varies
- Design crisp logos/text in SVG before exporting
Avoiding Blurry Banners
A common mistake is upscaling a small raster logo into the banner. Starting from an SVG logo avoids this entirely since it exports crisply at the exact banner dimensions needed.
- Avoid upscaling small raster logos into banners
- SVG logos export crisp at any banner size
- Match LinkedIn's exact published pixel dimensions
