Profile photo tips
LinkedIn shows your photo as a circle, often under 100 px across. Crop so your face fills about 60% of the frame, with a little space above your head. The circle preset exports a transparent-cornered PNG, but a square JPG works just as well because LinkedIn applies the circle itself.
