A profile photo is the first thing a recruiter or client sees. LinkedIn crops non square uploads automatically, which frequently cuts off the top of a head, so cropping to 1:1 yourself keeps the framing under your control.
LinkedIn requires a minimum of 400 x 400 pixels. A square between 400 x 400 and 800 x 800 gives the best result on high resolution screens.
A non square photo is cropped automatically to fit the circular frame. Crop to 1:1 first and centre your face with a little space above your head.
Aim for your head and shoulders to fill roughly sixty percent of the square. Too far away and your face is unrecognisable at small sizes.
No. Company page logos are 300 x 300 pixels and are shown as a square rather than a circle.
