| Placement | Size | Ratio | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Personal profile banner | 1584 × 396 | 4:1 | A 4:1 strip. The profile photo overlaps the lower-left on desktop. |
| Company page cover | 1128 × 191 | 5.91:1 | Much shorter than the personal banner — the two are not interchangeable. |

| Company logo | 300 × 300 | 1:1 | Displayed at 60×60 in most surfaces. |
| Post image | 1200 × 627 | 1.91:1 | The 1.91:1 link-preview ratio. Square 1200×1200 takes more feed height. |
| Sponsored content | 1200 × 627 | 1.91:1 | Same as an organic post image. |
