What the sizes here come from

LinkedIn Help, Photo won't upload to your profile for the upload limits: 400 x 400 to 7680 x 4320 pixels, 8 MB, PNG or JPG.

LinkedIn Help, Settings for profile photo visibility for who can see a profile photo, and the default of Anyone.

LinkedIn Help, Add or change your profile photo for how to add a profile photo. It gives no size.

ScrapeCreators, LinkedIn profile for the signed 200 x 200 and 400 x 400 files. A third party: the data source the tool calls. We could not check the sizes on LinkedIn ourselves.

The example pictures on this page are Selzee's own mascot, drawn at the sizes LinkedIn hands out.

The short answer

A LinkedIn profile picture downloader takes a linkedin.com/in link and gives you the profile photo as a file. It gets the file LinkedIn shows to people who are not logged in. In the documented example of the data source the tool calls, that file is 200 x 200 pixels. Other members in the same example show 400 x 400.
LinkedIn Help asks for an upload of at least 400 x 400 pixels, so the file you get is smaller than the original. When a member has no photo, or hides it from the public, the tool says there is no profile picture.

How to download a LinkedIn profile picture

Paste the profile link

A linkedin.com/in link from any country site, with or without tracking parts, or only the name part after /in/. A linkedin.com/company link gives the company logo.
See the public photo

Our server asks for the public profile and shows the photo LinkedIn gives to people who are not logged in, with its pixel size.
Save the file

One click saves the file named after the profile. Download another clears the field for the next link.

As the face of a post

Here Selzy is the round photo at the top of a text post. At this size the face has to read at a glance, as it does on a LinkedIn comment.

In the background of a bigger idea

Selzy sits on a screen in the shop window while a person holds the offer. The same character, a few pixels high, still says whose ad it is.

Real faces, personal data and fair use

Most LinkedIn photos are real faces of real people, and many of them are not public figures. A face is personal data in many countries. This tool only gets a photo that the member lets the public see: LinkedIn Help lists who can see a profile photo, from 1st-degree connections only to anyone.

Treat what you download with care. Your own photo is yours to use. Someone else's photo is for reference only, for example in your own notes before a sales or a hiring call. Do not put it in an ad, a post, a list or a product, and ask the person before any other use. This is not legal advice.

Why you get 200 or 400 pixels, not your upload

The address LinkedIn gives for the photo is signed and carries an expiry. A change to the size in that address breaks the signature, so the tool cannot ask for a larger file. It downloads the file as given, which the ScrapeCreators example shows as 200 x 200 for the profile asked for and 400 x 400 for five other members.

LinkedIn Help sets the upload at 400 x 400 pixels or more, so the original is at least as large as either file. A copy scaled up from 200 x 200 has more pixels and no more detail.

LinkedIn profile picture downloader: FAQ

How can I download someone's LinkedIn profile picture?

Copy the link of their profile, the one with /in/ in it, paste it into the tool above and press View profile picture. When LinkedIn shows the photo to the public, press Download to save it. For ads that look like your brand, start free with Selzee.

What size is the LinkedIn profile photo I get?

The file LinkedIn gives to people who are not logged in. In the documented example it is 200 x 200 for the profile asked for and 400 x 400 for other members. The tool prints the size of the file you got. For ads in the sizes each feed needs, let Selzee make them from your store URL.

Why does it say there is no profile picture?

The member has no photo, or the photo is not set to be seen by the public. LinkedIn then sends its grey placeholder, and the tool says so instead of saving it. Members choose this in their photo visibility settings. When you are ready for ads, paste your store URL into Selzee.

Can I see a LinkedIn profile picture without an account?

Yes, when the member shows the photo to the public, which LinkedIn Help names as the default. The tool asks LinkedIn without a login, so it sees only what a logged-out visitor sees. After the research, the ads: Selzee makes them from your store URL.

Does it work with a company page or a post link?

A company page, yes: paste linkedin.com/company/ and the name, and you get the company logo. A personal profile works as linkedin.com/in/ and a name, from any country site such as uk.linkedin.com. A post link is refused, because it does not name the account. For posts and ads your company owns, start free with Selzee.

Can I use a LinkedIn photo of someone else?

Keep it for reference, like a note before a call. It shows a real person, so ask before you publish it or reuse it anywhere. This is not legal advice. For pictures you can publish freely, let Selzee make your ads.

What size should my own LinkedIn profile photo be?

LinkedIn Help asks for 400 x 400 to 7680 x 4320 pixels, a PNG or JPG file of 8 MB or less. Upload a square photo of at least 400 x 400, since LinkedIn shows it as a circle. Running LinkedIn ads? Selzee makes them from your store URL.

How we checked

Last checked: 25 October 2026. We could not measure LinkedIn ourselves: most profiles need a login, so we did not download real member photos. The sizes come from the ScrapeCreators documentation for the endpoint the tool calls, and from LinkedIn Help on adding a profile photo, on a photo that will not upload and on photo visibility.

The documented example: the profile asked for comes back as shrink_200_200, 200 x 200.
Five other members in the same example come back as shrink_400_400, 400 x 400.
Every way to write a profile link, country sites and tracking parts included, is in one test file that the page and the server both read.
The download comes from our server, which only fetches a stored address on media.licdn.com. It never takes an address from you.
A file over 5 MB, a redirect or a file that is not a picture is refused.
