## Introduction

**Article** and **event** covers on LinkedIn crop differently in the feed versus detail views—and mobile can trim edges further. Without a **safe zone**, headlines and logos get clipped and campaigns look inconsistent. This article covers sizing discipline, brand alignment, and a simple production workflow.

## Dimensions and safe area

LinkedIn updates recommended sizes periodically—check the [LinkedIn Marketing Solutions help center](https://www.linkedin.com/help/lms) before publishing. General rules:

* Keep critical text and logos inside a **center-weighted** safe rectangle; leave padding from top, bottom, and sides.
* The logic in our [vertical safe area](/blog/vertical-safe-area-prevent-text-and-elements-from-being-cut-off) guide applies here too.
* If you reuse one master across **article**, **event**, and **ads**, preview each crop—not all surfaces use the same mask.

## B2B consistency

Align covers with profile and company visuals; see [visual usage for brand identity](/blog/visual-usage-guide-to-strengthen-your-brand-identity). When links are shared, validate previews with [Open Graph debugging](/blog/open-graph-twitter-card-preview-debugging).

## Workflow

1. Design at high resolution with guides for safe margins.
2. Test exports with [crop](/crop) across aspect ratios.
3. Export final pixels with [resize](/resizer) to match current LinkedIn specs.

## Conclusion

Treat LinkedIn covers as **multi-crop assets**: center your message, respect safe zones, and re-verify whenever LinkedIn updates layout guidance.
