Free LinkedIn & X Banner Maker

Design an on-brand LinkedIn banner or X header and download it free — no design skills needed.

Your LinkedIn banner is prime real estate that most profiles leave blank or fill with a stretched stock photo. This tool builds a clean, on-brand banner sized correctly for LinkedIn's cover photo dimensions, right in your browser, with no design software required.

What makes a banner actually work

A good LinkedIn banner reinforces your headline rather than repeating it, uses your actual brand colors instead of a generic gradient, and stays legible at the small size most visitors see it at on mobile. It should support your profile, not compete with your headshot for attention.

How to use it well

Pick colors that match your existing brand or personal palette, keep any text short since space is limited, and preview at a smaller size before downloading to make sure it reads clearly on mobile where most profile views happen.

Mistakes this avoids

Stretched stock photos, illegible small text, and banners that clash with a profile photo are the most common banner mistakes. Building directly at LinkedIn's correct dimensions avoids the cropping and stretching that ruins most manually uploaded banners.

Using the output

Download the PNG and upload it directly to your LinkedIn profile. Pair it with the Profile Photo Maker for a headshot that shares the same color treatment.

Example outputs

Personal brand banner

Input: Clean banner with a name, role, and accent color matching a personal website.
