# LinkedIn company page banner size: 2256×382

[Canonical HTML page](https://gradiently.design/guide/linkedin-company-cover-size)

The company page banner is one of the widest images on any platform: six times wider than it is tall, with a logo sitting over one corner and phones cutting the sides. Here is how to design for all of that.

## The short version

- The LinkedIn company page banner size is 2256×382 pixels, an aspect ratio of about 5.9:1.
- 2256×382 is twice LinkedIn's 1128×191 guidance, the same shape at double resolution so it stays sharp on high density screens.
- The company logo sits at the lower left, overlapping or just below the banner depending on the layout, so that corner should hold only background.
- Phones show the banner cropped at the sides, which makes a central safe area for words essential.
- A very wide banner works best with one short line of text and a background that has a clear direction of light.

The **LinkedIn company page banner size** is 2256×382 pixels, a strip about six times wider than it is tall. It is twice LinkedIn's 1128×191 guidance, which keeps it crisp on high density screens. Two things shape the design: the company logo sits over the lower left area, and phones crop the banner at the sides. Put one short line of text in the centre, leave the lower left to the background, and let colour carry the rest of the width.

## LinkedIn company page banner dimensions

| Property | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Recommended upload | 2256×382 px |
| LinkedIn's base size | 1128×191 px (same shape, half the pixels) |
| Aspect ratio | About 5.9:1 |
| File type | PNG for type and gradients, high quality JPEG for photos |
| Colour profile | sRGB |

Upload at the double size. A 1128 pixel banner looks soft on most modern laptops and phones.

The company banner is not the same as the banner on a personal profile, which is 1584×396 and a squatter 4:1. A design made for one needs relayout for the other; the personal version is covered in [LinkedIn banner size](https://gradiently.design/guide/linkedin-banner-size).

- Company page 2256×382: 2256 × 382
- Personal profile 1584×396: 1584 × 396
- X header 1500×500: 1500 × 500

Three banner shapes drawn to scale. The company page banner is by far the thinnest, which leaves very little height for type.

## Safe zones: the logo and the mobile crop

LinkedIn adjusts its page layout from time to time, and the banner is shown differently on desktop and in the app, so there is no single fixed safe area. These working rules hold up across the current layouts.

1. **Keep the lower left clear** The company logo and name sit around the left end of the banner's lower edge. Leave roughly the first 500 pixels of width, in the lower half, to background.
2. **Assume the sides will be cut on phones** The app shows a narrower slice of the banner. Keep words between about 500 and 1900 pixels across.
3. **Leave top and bottom margins** Hold text between about 60 and 320 pixels down. Type that touches the edge of a strip this thin looks cut even when it isn't.
4. **Check both views** Upload, then look at the page on a laptop and in the app. Adjust and upload again if anything sits under the logo or off the edge.

## What to put on a company page banner

With only 382 pixels of height, you have room for one line of meaningful text. Choose it carefully. The page already shows the company name, the logo, the tagline and the follow button, so the banner should add something, not repeat it.

### Avoid

- Your company name again, next to the logo
- A paragraph of services
- Phone numbers, addresses and URLs
- A wide photo with a busy centre
- Text pushed to the far left or right

### Do

- One line that says what you do or for whom
- A current message: hiring, a launch, an event
- Your brand colours at full width
- Calm space where the words sit
- Words in the central band

Four kinds of line tend to earn the space, each short enough to set large on a strip this thin:

- **Who you serve:** "Accounting for independent architects."
- **What you promise:** "Kitchens fitted in ten working days."
- **What is happening now:** "Meet us at stand 42, Retail Expo, 3 to 5 March."
- **What you believe:** a short line from your mission, if it is specific enough to be yours.

Banners are a cheap place for a timely message. While you're recruiting, "We're hiring engineers in Leeds" earns its space; afterwards, go back to the evergreen line. [Job announcement posts](https://gradiently.design/guide/we-are-hiring-story) pair well with a temporary banner.

## How to compose a very wide banner

A 6:1 strip doesn't behave like a normal canvas. Centred, symmetrical layouts look static at this width, and a gradient that runs evenly from one end to the other feels like a stripe. What works is direction: light that comes from one side, colour that gathers somewhere and fades, and a line of text placed where that light is calmest.

- Deep to bright, left to right: `linear-gradient(90deg, #0b1d2e 0%, #12395a 45%, #2f7fa6 80%, #8fd0e0 100%)`
- Warm light, centre right: `radial-gradient(ellipse 60% 140% at 70% 50%, #f2c38b 0%, #c4663f 45%, #3a1c1a 100%)`
- Pale paper to lilac: `linear-gradient(90deg, #f4efe6 0%, #e9e1f2 55%, #b9a7dd 100%)`

Three backgrounds for a wide strip. Each darkens or calms at the left, where the logo sits, and has a clear area in the middle for one line of type.

Notice that the lower left end of each one is quiet. That helps the logo stand out instead of fighting a bright patch of colour. For more backgrounds that suit LinkedIn's tone, see [LinkedIn background photo ideas](https://gradiently.design/guide/linkedin-background-ideas).

## Keeping the banner consistent with your posts

Followers see your banner once and your posts every week. When the two share colours and type, a post in the feed is recognisably yours before anyone reads the name. [LinkedIn post image size](https://gradiently.design/guide/linkedin-post-image-size) covers the formats your posts will use, and [consistent branding across social media](https://gradiently.design/guide/brand-consistency-across-platforms) covers the system behind it.

This is where a Gradiently Mark helps. It is a living gradient background that only you can export with once you claim it, and it renders fresh at any size, so the same look fills a 2256×382 banner and a 1200×1200 post without stretching. The Mark also moves its calmest area behind your words, which matters on a strip this thin.

## FAQ

### What size is the LinkedIn company page banner?

2256×382 pixels, which is twice LinkedIn's 1128×191 guidance and keeps the banner sharp on high density screens.

### Is the company page banner the same as a personal LinkedIn banner?

No. A personal profile banner is 1584×396, a 4:1 shape, while the company page banner is 2256×382, closer to 6:1.

### Where does the logo sit on a LinkedIn company banner?

Around the lower left of the banner. Keep that corner free of text and bright detail so the logo stands out.

### Why is my LinkedIn company banner cut off on mobile?

The app shows a narrower slice of the banner than desktop. Keep text roughly between 500 and 1900 pixels across so it survives the crop.
