Photo won't upload to your profile

Last updated: 4 weeks ago

Adding a photograph to your profile helps your current and potential connections recognize you. You can use an illustration, caricature, or other artistic rendering of yourself, but your profile photo must reflect your likeness. 

If you’re unable to upload a photo to your profile, please ensure that the photo file meets these specifications:

  • Maximum file size is 8MB.
  • Profile photo: Pixel size is between 400 (w) x 400 (h) pixels and 7680 (w) x 4320 (h) pixels. We recommend adding a photo that won't require much cropping. You can adjust the photo after it has been uploaded.

  • Background photo: Recommended pixel dimensions are 1584 (w) x 396 (h) pixels.

  • File type must be PNG or JPG.

    Note: We don’t support GIFs.

If it still won't upload, try again using a different browser. If that doesn't work, you can try compressing a photo, on your system and then upload it to your profile.

Also please ensure that the photo complies with the profile photo guidelines and conditions.
