Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Uploading a tiny image: LinkedIn will stretch it and it will appear pixelated
• Wrong aspect ratio: LinkedIn crops non-square images for profile photos — use 1:1
• Text at the edges of cover photos: Cropped on mobile devices — keep text in the centre
• Using a PNG for photos: JPG is smaller and loads faster for photographs
