Why 1200 × 627, and when to go square instead

1200 × 627 is LinkedIn's recommended size for an image in a post and for the card generated from a shared link. It is the Open Graph ratio again — 1.91:1 — so an image built for a Facebook post or a link preview drops straight in.

For a native image post rather than a link, a square at 1200 × 1200 occupies noticeably more vertical space in the feed, and on a phone that is the whole argument: a taller image pushes the surrounding posts off the screen. The trade is that a square does not match the link-preview shape, so if the same asset has to do both jobs, 1.91:1 is the one that works everywhere.

Text on LinkedIn images is common and mostly survives, because the feed renders these at a decent size. It still gets re-compressed, so flat-colour graphics and charts are better uploaded as PNG while photographs stay JPEG.

How to resize an image to 1200 × 627

1. Drop your image on the panel above — or paste it, or drop several at once to do a batch.
2. The width and height are already set to 1200 × 627, and the aspect lock is off so both numbers are honoured exactly.
3. If your source is a different shape, crop it to 1.91:1 first — resizing a different ratio straight to these numbers stretches it.
4. Pick an output format. JPEG for photographs, PNG for flat colour, text and anything needing transparency.
5. Download. Nothing was uploaded at any point — the resize ran on your own machine, in this tab.
