A considered background for your profile
Prepare a 1584 × 396 personal-profile background image. Its 4:1 shape is much wider than most camera photographs, so choosing the right crop matters more than simply shrinking the file.
Get a better result
Leave room near the profile-photo overlap and keep key words away from the outer edges. Use the focus controls to move your subject into the visible area. Organization-page banners use different layouts.
A quick workflow
- Choose an original image with enough detail for your destination.
- Review the preset. Use Fit to retain the whole image or Fill to crop the edges.
- Pick the file format and quality, process, then compare the result before downloading.
Continue this workflow with Image resizer, Image cropper, Instagram post resizer. Browse the Resize tools to compare other options.

Presets are practical starting canvases, not promises of platform acceptance. Supported sizes, crops and upload limits can vary. Review the destination’s current guidance and upload preview.
