1200 × 627LinkedIn single image

The landscape 1.91:1 image for LinkedIn single image ads in the feed, on desktop and mobile. It sits between the introductory text and the headline, so the message in the image can stay short and direct.

Example. Noordkaap, Split Field layout. The dashed frame is the safe zone: text, logo and button stay inside it. Shown at 37% of its real size.

Design rules for 1200 × 627

Landscape. Between 1.25 and 4 times as wide as it is tall. Room for an image beside the copy, like a magazine spread.

What works

  • Split the frame: image on one side, headline and button on the other, so neither covers the other.
  • Put the subject of the image on the side away from the copy, so faces and products are never cut by text.
  • A headline and a short subline fit; keep the button in the copy column, in reading order.
  • Keep the logo small, in a corner of the copy column: the image already fills half the frame.
  • Design for a phone at arm’s length: large type and one message.
  • The platform shows your ad text and a headline around the image, so the image carries one idea.

Common mistakes

  • Centering everything, which leaves the corners empty and the copy floating.
  • Text across the busiest part of the image.
  • A logo as large as the headline.
  • Repeating the post text inside the image.
