About
I help B2B founders and consultants build a LinkedIn presence that compounds. For seven years I ran content for agencies, watching great ideas die behind weak first lines. Now I work with a handful of founders at a time: positioning, a repeatable posting system, and writing that sounds like a…
A faithful mock for planning. The desktop layout mirrors how LinkedIn arranges your profile. Nothing is posted or saved.
Your profile is your landing page
Every post you publish sends people back to one place: the top of your profile. In a glance they read your banner, your photo, and the first lines of your headline and About, then decide whether to connect, follow, or move on. That first impression is worth getting right before anyone clicks through.
~2%
Only about two percent of LinkedIn members post in a given week. When your content does send a visitor to your profile, a sharp banner, photo, and headline are what turn that rare attention into a connection.
First glance
A visitor sizes up your profile in seconds, and a clear face photo carries most of that first impression — members with a photo see far more profile views and connection requests than those without one.
Treat the top of your profile like a hero section. The banner is the headline image, the photo builds trust, and the first two lines of your About are the subhead. Get those right here, on both devices, then let your posts drive the traffic.
Banner: 1584 × 396 px
A 4:1 background image, accepted as JPG, PNG, or static GIF. Upload at 3168 by 792 for crisp rendering on high-resolution displays, and keep key text centered so it survives the mobile crop.
A clear face photo
Members with a profile photo see far more profile views and connection requests than those without one. A simple, well-lit headshot does more for trust than any graphic you could put behind it.
Headline: up to 220 characters
This is your strongest searchable line. Only about the first 70 characters show in search, comments, and connection requests, so the keywords that matter belong at the very start.
About: 2,600-character story
Roughly the first 300 characters show before see more on desktop. Treat those two lines as a hook, then use the rest for the proof, the story, and a clear way to reach you.

Three quick wins
Small changes at the top of your profile that do most of the work of a first impression.
Use the banner as a billboard
The 1584 by 396 strip is the first thing visitors see. State who you help and the outcome you create — not a stock skyline. Keep words and logos centered so nothing important is cropped on mobile.
Front-load the headline
You have 220 characters, but search and connection requests show only about the first 70. Lead with the role and the result, then add proof. Write it for a stranger deciding whether to click.
Win the first two About lines
Only about 300 characters show before see more. Open with the problem you solve and who you solve it for. Save the backstory for after the fold, where the people who already care will read it.
Frequently asked questions
Is this LinkedIn profile preview tool free?
Yes. The preview is free with no signup, no account, and no card. It runs entirely in your browser, so you can adjust your banner, photo, headline, and About as many times as you like and see the result instantly.
What size should my LinkedIn banner be?
LinkedIn recommends 1584 by 396 pixels for a personal profile background, a 4:1 strip. Upload at double that (3168 by 792) for sharp rendering on high-resolution screens. The preview locks the banner to that exact ratio so you can see what gets cropped on desktop and mobile before you commit.
How long can my LinkedIn headline be?
Your headline can run to 220 characters. But only about the first 70 show in search results, connection requests, and comments, so the words people actually search for should come first. The tool counts your characters live and flags when you pass 220.
Why does only part of my About section show?
On desktop, LinkedIn collapses the About section after roughly the first 300 characters, about two lines, behind a see more link. The field itself holds up to 2,600 characters. The preview shows exactly where that cutoff lands so you can put the line that earns the click above it.
Does this tool store my photos or text?
No. Nothing leaves your device. Your banner and profile photo are read in your browser with FileReader into in-memory images, and every field lives only in the page while it is open. Nothing is uploaded or saved on a server, and a refresh clears it.
Why does the preview look different on mobile?
LinkedIn rearranges a profile on a phone: a narrower column, a smaller photo, stacked name and headline, and full-width buttons. Switch the device toggle to mobile to see that layout. If your headline and About opening read clearly in the narrow column, they will read clearly anywhere.
A sharp profile deserves posts to match
Once your banner, headline, and About are dialed in, the next job is feeding the feed. Blendin’s anti-AI writing engine helps you turn an idea into a post, carousel, or image that sounds like you wrote it — and sends people back to the profile you just polished.
