Fix Blurry LinkedIn Headshots (Best Format)
You look professional, but your photo looks pixelated. LinkedIn's compression is aggressive. Here is the format to beat it.
1
The 8MB Trap
LinkedIn allows files up to 8MB, but if you upload a huge file, their server crushes it aggressively. The secret is to upload a smaller, pre-optimized file.
2
The Perfect Specs
Resize your photo to **400x400 pixels** (or 800x800 for Retina). Save it as a **JPG** with 90% quality.
3
Avoid PNGs
LinkedIn often converts PNGs badly, resulting in dark or washed-out colors. Stick to sRGB JPGs for consistency.
