LinkedIn infographic and carousel size, 2026

By the InfographicHQ team · 8 October 2026 · Updated 10 October 2026

Make a LinkedIn infographic as a 4:5 portrait image, 1080 pixels wide or more. LinkedIn's help centre says: "The photo's aspect ratio can range from 3:1 to 4:5 (width:height). If the ratio is larger, the image will be centered and cropped to fit the max ratio." InfographicHQ makes its LinkedIn infographics at 4:5, 1568 x 1960 pixels.

LinkedIn's help pages were read on 8 October 2026. LinkedIn showed its photo page as last updated 2 years ago, its documents page 3 years ago and its media file types page 2 weeks ago. Each figure below names the page it comes from.

What size should a LinkedIn infographic be?

Make a LinkedIn infographic 4:5, 1080 pixels wide or more, and no larger than 5 MB. That is our advice, built on LinkedIn's photo help page: 4:5 is the tall end of the range it allows, 1080 pixels is the width it recommends, and 5 MB is its upload limit.

Sample infographic, LinkedIn Content That Wins Clients: five numbered cards in two columns on a blush background, each with a coloured heading band, an italic line, two ticked points and a paper-textured illustration, and a banner underneath — Layouts shown: grid, stacked and timeline. Every one of these came out of the product, down to the words. Try it below.

Sample infographic, 7 Habits of Scaling Leaders: seven numbered cards stacked down an ivory page, each with a bold heading, one italic line and a small flat icon on the right, and a green summary banner underneath — Layouts shown: grid, stacked and timeline. Every one of these came out of the product, down to the words. Try it below.

What is the LinkedIn carousel size?

A LinkedIn carousel is a document post, usually a PDF. LinkedIn limits the file, not the page: 100 MB and 300 pages. Its document help page lists no page size in pixels. InfographicHQ makes carousel slides at 1080 x 1350 pixels, which is 4:5.

Limit	LinkedIn says	LinkedIn Help page
File size	100 MB	Upload and share documents on LinkedIn
Pages	300	Upload and share documents on LinkedIn
Document file types	PPT, PPTX, DOC, DOCX, PDF	Upload and share documents on LinkedIn
After posting	The document cannot be changed or edited	Upload and share documents on LinkedIn
Page sizes	"PDFs with multiple sized pages must be fit to the same page size."	Upload and share documents on LinkedIn

How many pages can a LinkedIn carousel have?

LinkedIn allows up to 300 pages in a document post. An InfographicHQ carousel has up to 12 slides: the infographic, a slide for each card and a closing slide. Starting with a title page makes 13.

What aspect ratio does LinkedIn crop images to?

LinkedIn says a photo's aspect ratio can range from 3:1 to 4:5 (width:height), and: "If the ratio is larger, the image will be centered and cropped to fit the max ratio." A 4:5 image sits at the tall end of that range. In a post with several photos, LinkedIn says: "Images will render a max ratio of 4:5 (e.g., 640 (w) x 800 (h) pixels) and the post will have a greater visual emphasis on the first image."

JPG or PNG for LinkedIn?

LinkedIn's media page lists both JPEG and PNG. Its photo page sets a 5 MB upload limit, and a JPG is the smaller file. InfographicHQ downloads as either.
