How it works — 3 quick steps

Design, preview, and download — the maker guides each step with prompts and visual hints.

  • 1) Choose a template by role or industry (e.g., Job-seeker, Recruiter, Executive).
  • 2) Add brand assets and edit text — headline suggestions and layout variants are provided.
  • 3) Preview desktop & mobile crops, run contrast checks, then export the correct file for LinkedIn.

Guided prompts for common roles

Prompt-driven templates and samples

Select a prompt cluster, provide a few inputs, and get ready-to-use headline options, layout notes, and image suggestions. Below are sample prompts and the kind of outputs the maker shows.

Executive profile

Inputs: role (CFO), industry (fintech), tone (authoritative, approachable), include headshot? yes

  • Headline options: “CFO — Scaling Profitability in Fintech” / “Finance Leader | Strategy, Capital & Growth”
  • Background: abstract gradient or subtle cityscape; use headshot on right to preserve left-aligned copy
  • Layout note: heavier font weight for headline, subtle subline for one-sentence bio, CTA for About section

Job-seeker banner

Inputs: target role (Product Manager), keywords (roadmapping, PM-led growth), accent color

  • Short headline (30–60 chars): “Product Manager — Roadmaps that Drive Growth”
  • Supporting subline in bullets: “Roadmaps • GTM • Cross-functional leadership”
  • Image suggestion: workspace or abstract shapes; use centered composition for mobile-safe cropping

Recruiter / Talent acquisition

Inputs: company size, hiring focus, tone (friendly), logo upload

  • Layout: logo on left with ample padding, “We’re hiring” CTA on right
  • Sample CTA: “Hiring Product & Design — Message me”
  • Alternate: simplified layout for company pages vs personal profiles

Freelancer portfolio promo

Inputs: service (UX design), top skill tags, preferred imagery

  • Headline options: “UX Designer — Product & Research for Startups”
  • Crop guidance: keep portfolio thumbnails inside a protected area so they remain visible after LinkedIn crops
  • Export checklist: add portfolio URL to About, include portfolio link in headline subline if space allows

Brand kit-driven templates

Inputs: logo upload, primary & secondary hex colors, font family

  • Output: three composition variants that respect logo safe-zones and contrast requirements
  • File naming suggestion: companyname-role-linkedin-banner.png for consistent asset management
  • Download: PNG for LinkedIn, SVG for other brand systems

Quick resize & accessibility check

Inputs: base design, change CTA, check contrast

  • Tool provides desktop and mobile previews and a contrast score for overlay text
  • Includes alt-text suggestions and safe-zone overlays for text and logos
  • Output: mobile-safe variant with recommended text size and placement

Keep banners on brand

Brand assets, exports, and file guidance

Upload logos, paste hex codes, and reference fonts so templates match your visual identity. Exports are prepared for LinkedIn and for other uses in your brand system.

  • Supported asset types: SVG and PNG logos; paste primary and secondary hex colors; enter font family names for layout guidance
  • Recommended export for LinkedIn: PNG or JPG at the correct pixel dimensions (see FAQ); keep a high-resolution PNG for best clarity
  • SVG export is available for vector use outside LinkedIn (e.g., in presentations or on your website)
  • Suggested file names: role-platform-date (e.g., cfo-linkedin-2026-03.png) to avoid overwriting brand files

Readable on every device

Accessibility & device-safe previews

The maker removes guesswork by showing how your header will crop on desktop and mobile and by running contrast checks for overlay text.

  • Mobile-safe layout overlays and protected margins to avoid side cropping
  • Contrast guidance flags low-contrast text and suggests color swaps or overlays
  • Alt-text suggestions for accessibility and light SEO benefit when you link the banner image elsewhere

For professionals and small teams

Who this helps

Templates and prompts are tailored to the needs of job seekers, recruiters, executives, founders, sales teams, freelancers, and small design teams managing client profiles.

  • Job seekers: short value-driven headlines and portfolio callouts
  • Recruiters: logo-first layouts and hiring CTAs
  • Executives & founders: brand-consistent headers with professional photography or abstract composition
  • Freelancers & agencies: portfolio-focused layouts and export-ready files for client delivery

From draft to LinkedIn

Typical workflow examples

Export a PNG/JPG, preview on LinkedIn, and iterate. If you use a design tool like Figma or Canva, import the exported file and continue refining in your preferred workflow.

  • Quick publish: pick template → add logo & headline → run preview → download PNG → upload to LinkedIn profile
  • Design-for-delivery: export SVG for client brand systems, provide PNG/JPG for social upload
  • Team handoff: include the color palette and font recommendations alongside exported files for consistency

FAQ

What are the recommended LinkedIn banner dimensions and how does the maker handle desktop vs mobile cropping?

Recommended canvas dimensions for LinkedIn profile headers are 1584 × 396 pixels. The maker uses that canvas and shows desktop and mobile crop previews — mobile commonly crops the left and right edges, so the tool overlays a mobile-safe guide and suggests center-aligned compositions or protected margins for logos and text.

Which file formats can I download (PNG, JPG, SVG) and which is best for LinkedIn?

For LinkedIn, PNG or JPG are the safest choices; PNG preserves sharp text and logos while JPG can reduce file size. SVG is available for vector use in presentations or brand systems, but LinkedIn does not reliably accept SVG uploads, so use PNG/JPG for profile headers.

How do I upload and apply my brand assets (logo, colors, fonts) so banners stay consistent?

Upload a PNG or SVG logo, paste primary and secondary hex color codes, and enter font family names (for layout guidance). The maker applies those assets to templates and offers composition variants that respect logo safe-zones and the color palette.

Are stock images included and what are the copyright or attribution requirements?

The maker offers royalty-free background options from embedded stock libraries for use in banners. Always check the specific image license shown in the image picker before exporting; many stock assets included are cleared for social and profile use without attribution, but some may require attribution or have restrictions — the creator panel lists license details.

How can I ensure my banner text remains readable on all devices (contrast checks and safe zones)?

Use the preview toggles for desktop and mobile, enable the mobile-safe overlay to protect important text, and run the built-in contrast check. If contrast is low, the tool suggests color swaps, semi-opaque overlays behind text, or bolder font weights to improve legibility.

Can I edit or re-download a banner after creating it?

You can download your banner immediately after creating it. To edit later, save or export your project from the maker — saved projects can be re-opened for adjustments and additional downloads. If you need to continue work in another editor, export a PNG/JPG or SVG and import it into Figma or Canva.

What headline and CTA style works best for job seekers vs company pages?

Job seekers benefit from short, results-focused headlines (30–60 characters) with a single supporting subline highlighting key skills. Use CTAs like a link to a portfolio or contact line. Company pages and recruiters should prioritize logo visibility and simple CTAs: “We’re hiring — contact us” or “See open roles” with clean, high-contrast layouts.

Is the tool free and are there any paid features to unlock?

The banner maker is free to use for creating, previewing, and downloading export-ready headers. If any premium features are offered (such as team asset management or advanced templates), they are clearly labeled in the interface and linked to pricing information.
