LinkedIn video sizes
LinkedIn video is watched in a scrolling feed on a phone more often than people expect. Square at 1080 x 1080 takes noticeably more screen than 16:9 while staying neutral enough for a professional context.
Landscape 16:9 still makes sense for anything demo-shaped: a product walkthrough, a screen recording, a webinar clip. Vertical 9:16 works for talking-head clips and short updates.
Autoplay is silent here too. Captions do more for completion rate on LinkedIn than any framing decision.
Feed (square)
Feed (vertical)
Landscape / demos
| Placement | Aspect ratio | Frame size |
|---|---|---|
| Feed (square) | 1:1 | 1080 x 1080 |
| Feed (vertical) | 9:16 | 1080 x 1920 |
| Landscape / demos | 16:9 | 1920 x 1080 |
Cropping is not resizing
Cropping changes what is inside the frame by cutting the edges away. Resizing keeps the whole frame and changes how many pixels it is drawn with. Going from a landscape recording to a vertical post is a crop, and something has to leave the picture.
If your video is already 1:1 and you only need it at a different resolution, use the resize tool instead, it is free too and linked below.
crop for linkedin: questions
What size should a LinkedIn video be?
1080 x 1080 square for feed posts, or 1920 x 1080 landscape for demos and screen recordings.
Does LinkedIn support vertical video?
Yes, 9:16 plays fine in the feed and is a good fit for short talking-head updates.
Is cropping for LinkedIn free?
Yes. Crop and preview for free, then create a free account to download the result.
Do I need to install anything?
No. It opens in any browser, so you can crop for LinkedIn from a phone as easily as from a laptop.
Does cropping reduce quality?
The kept area is cropped at source resolution and re-encoded at high quality, so it stays sharp. Cropping deep into a low-resolution source is what makes video look soft, not the crop itself.
What if my subject is not in the middle?
This tool crops from the centre, so it keeps the middle of the picture. If the subject sits to one side, open the clip in the full REQO editor, move the picture inside the new frame and export from there. That is free too.
