How to make a LinkedIn banner

The size, and the safe zone that actually matters
The LinkedIn cover is 1584 x 396, a 4:1 strip. On desktop and mobile the profile photo overlaps part of it, so keep text and faces toward the center and right of the canvas and preview both views before you upload.

It reads the pixel size of your file in the browser, draws it on a canvas, crops it to the shape you pick and re-encodes it at the exact export size. There is no upload request, and metadata such as EXIF location is not carried over.
