LinkedIn Video Size: Resolution, Aspect Ratio and File Limits

Updated September 2026 · By Joseph Pugliese, founder of Linklay

Last verified: September 7, 2026

LinkedIn accepts a broad range of video sizes rather than one required canvas. Current Help Center guidance allows resolutions from 256 × 144 through 4096 × 2304 and aspect ratios from 1:2.4 through 2.4:1.

Quick answer

LinkedIn video resolution can range from 256 × 144 to 4096 × 2304 pixels, with aspect ratios from 1:2.4 to 2.4:1. LinkedIn lists a 5 GB maximum file size, up to 15 minutes of video, frame rates from 10 to 60 FPS and bitrates from 192 Kbps to 30 Mbps.

What should you use?

There is no single “LinkedIn video size” because LinkedIn supports landscape, square and vertical video. Choose the aspect ratio that fits the content and how you expect it to be viewed rather than resizing every video into one template.

How LinkedIn handles this

Keep important text and logos away from the edges. LinkedIn explicitly warns that interface elements can overlap the outer portions of the video and recommends respecting safe zones. This matters most for subtitles and calls to action near the bottom of a vertical frame.

Practical guidance

Export at the highest quality your chosen ratio allows, keeping the resolution inside LinkedIn's 256 × 144 to 4096 × 2304 range and the file under 5 GB. If a video runs longer than 15 minutes, split it into parts rather than compressing it further, and add captions, because many LinkedIn videos are watched with the sound off.
