Upload og:image or infographic
Upload an og:image from a company blog/article or a freshly designed infographic — the same cut serves direct uploads and link previews.
LinkedIn Post Image Resize
A LinkedIn post image (1200×627px, ~1.91:1) shares its ratio with Facebook’s og:image — its biggest practical advantage. The same crop you ship as a blog or landing page og:image becomes a direct LinkedIn upload, and the auto-generated preview card for external link shares uses the same dimensions, so one image powers both moments of exposure. Unlike most platforms, LinkedIn’s native uploads tend to reach about twice as far as external link shares, so even if you push readers to an external article, surfacing some of the insight as an in-image infographic on the upload itself often performs better. Text on images needs to read at a size that survives LinkedIn’s heavier desktop traffic (about 40–50%, more than other social platforms) — bold sans-serif on a high-contrast background is the safest pattern. This tool exports a precise 1200×627px JPG while previewing both mobile and desktop readability.
How to use
Check desktop + mobile reading
Check that bold sans-serif and high-contrast backgrounds read on both mobile and desktop (LinkedIn’s desktop share runs 40–50%).
Surface insight and export
Export 1200×627px JPG. Direct uploads typically reach ~2× further than external link shares, so surface some of your key insight in the image itself.
When to use this tool
LinkedIn often surfaces native-uploaded images with about twice the reach of external link shares, so converting a blog headline into a 1200×627 infographic is one of the strongest single levers for driving inbound traffic.
