Why is my LinkedIn profile picture blurry?

Make your Linkedin profile picture perfectly square, not less than 400×400 pixels, not less than 75KB, and make sure it’s crisp before uploading. I’ve never encountered a blurry profile photo following those steps.

Common reasons for persistent problems

• Your original picture is too large. Don’t rely on Linkedin’s backend system to resize a large image to give you a clear thumbnail. Use something like Photoshop instead.
• You’ve uploaded a picture from a mobile device. Try from a desktop instead.
• You’re viewing a cached version of your profile page.

Linkedin’s official guidelines:

• Maximum file size is 8MB.
• Profile photo: Pixel size is between 400 (w) x 400 (h) pixels and 7680 (w) x 4320 (h) pixels.
• File type must be PNG, JPG or GIF.
