What size should a LinkedIn profile photo be?

LinkedIn recommends a profile photo between 400×400 px and 7680×4320 px, under 8 MB. However, for fast loading and crisp display, 400×400 px at under 500 KB is the sweet spot. This preset outputs exactly that.

Can I use this for a CV or resume photo?

Yes. A 400×400 px JPEG under 500 KB is a universally accepted size for CV and resume headshots across email, PDF, and ATS systems. Most recruiters and HR portals accept photos in this range.

Should I use a square crop for LinkedIn?

LinkedIn displays profile photos in a circle but stores them as squares. A square 400×400 px crop ensures nothing important is cut off when the circle mask is applied.

Is my photo stored anywhere?

No. Compression runs entirely in your browser via the HTML5 Canvas API. Your image is never uploaded to any server, never stored, and never transmitted anywhere. Once you close the tab it is gone.
