This preset resizes any image to exactly 1200 × 627 px. The output is a landscape (wide) 1.91:1 frame of 752,400 pixels in total (0.75 megapixels), which counts as a medium-sized image by photo standards.
The preset is named for LinkedIn. It outputs exactly 1200 × 627 px; platforms change what they recommend from time to time, so confirm the current figure in LinkedIn's own help pages if exact compliance matters.

Fitting a photo into 1200 × 627 px
Resizing to a fixed width and height only gives a clean result when the photo has the same shape as the target. A shape mismatch has two outcomes: the picture is stretched, or part of it is cropped. Crop first, then resize, so you decide what is cut. This is how much of each common photo would be lost to fill 1.91:1:
| Starting photo | Cropped away to fill the shape |
|---|---|
| Phone photo (4000 × 3000, 4:3) | About 30% of the image |
| DSLR photo (6000 × 4000, 3:2) | About 22% of the image |
| Video frame (1920 × 1080, 16:9) | About 7% of the image |
| Portrait phone photo (3000 × 4000, 3:4) | About 61% of the image |
Size, quality and file weight
752,400 pixels saved as a JPG at web quality typically weigh about 73.48 KB to 220.43 KB, depending on how much detail the picture contains. Flat graphics and screenshots saved as PNG compress very well when colors are simple, and poorly when they contain photographic gradients.
For photos, JPG or WebP are good choices; for logos, text or transparency, PNG keeps edges clean.
How large can it be printed?
These figures follow from the pixel count: print size = pixels ÷ DPI. Going above the 300 DPI row gives no visible benefit; going below it looks softer.
| Quality | DPI | Print size |
|---|---|---|
| Screen-resolution draft | 72 | 16.7 × 8.7 in (42.3 × 22.1 cm) |
| Acceptable for posters | 150 | 8 × 4.2 in (20.3 × 10.6 cm) |
| Photo quality | 300 | 4 × 2.1 in (10.2 × 5.3 cm) |
About the LinkedIn preset
ResizeAny sets the output to 1200 × 627 px and nothing else. It does not know which placement or account type you are using, and LinkedIn may crop, recompress or re-scale an upload on its side. Keep important content away from the edges, and check LinkedIn's current guidelines for the placement you are working on.
How to resize an image to LinkedIn article cover
- Add your image. Select a photo or drag it onto the box above. JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, HEIC and BMP files are accepted, and the file stays on your device.
- Crop to 1.91:1 (recommended). The output is 1200 × 627 px, a 1.91:1 shape. Cropping to that shape first with the built-in Crop tool decides what stays in frame and avoids distortion.
- Confirm the size and format. The preset fills in 1200 × 627 px. Choose JPG for photos or PNG for graphics with sharp edges or transparency.
- Download the resized image. Click resize and save the file. The result uses Lanczos-3 resampling, which keeps edges clean when scaling down.
