LinkedIn Banner Image: What to Put There

An underused space that can reinforce your professional identity.

1. A simple graphic stating your value proposition or area of focus works well for most professionals.
2. Avoid generic stock photos (handshakes, city skylines) — they add little.
3. If you have a personal brand or portfolio, a banner directing people there can be effective.
4. Keep it clean and readable at thumbnail size, since that's how most people will see it.
