Questions

What size is a LinkedIn banner?

1584 × 396 pixels (4:1). On a phone the profile photo covers the left side and the sides are cropped, so keep text in the middle.

What is the best LinkedIn post image size?

1200 × 627 for landscape or 1200 × 1200 for square. Square and 4:5 images take up more of the feed on phones.

What is the maximum résumé size for LinkedIn Easy Apply?

2 MB, as a PDF, DOC or DOCX. A text PDF is usually far under that; a scanned one may need compressing.
