Profile photo tips

  • Use a professional headshot with good lighting.
  • Smile naturally — LinkedIn is more relaxed than passport photos.
  • Dress professionally.
  • Upload a square image (400×400 px minimum) — LinkedIn crops it to a circle.
  • Resize with PhotoResizer.in for exact dimensions.

What is the ideal LinkedIn profile photo size?
