Resize Video for LinkedIn

16:91920 × 1080Letterbox

LinkedIn accepts video in a wider range of aspect ratios than consumer platforms, but the feed algorithm clearly favors three: 16:9 landscape at 1920x1080 for executive announcements and thought-leadership content, 1:1 square at 1080x1080 for feed engagement, and 4:5 portrait at 1080x1350 for mobile-first storytelling. The 16:9 landscape format is native for LinkedIn Live, Events, and Learning, which makes it the safe default for professional content meant to be repurposed into those surfaces later.

Resizing for LinkedIn in detail

LinkedIn videos can run up to 10 minutes long, which is an order of magnitude more than TikTok or Reels. That changes the editing equation: audiences who watch on LinkedIn expect more context and fewer cuts per minute. A clean 16:9 1920x1080 with readable title cards and a quiet intro outperforms the rapid-fire pacing that works on short-form platforms. This tool resizes any source to the 16:9 landscape frame so the final output matches the platform's visual expectations.

Processing runs in your browser. For regulated industries like legal, healthcare, and finance, keeping the raw source on the device through the resize step is a meaningful compliance benefit.

Customer testimonial recordings in 16:9 with two-camera cross-cuts that rely on the landscape format to preserve composition.

Professional tutorials

Up to 10 minutes of screen capture with voice-over, resized to 1920x1080 so screen text stays readable.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best aspect ratio for LinkedIn video?

For professional and executive content, 16:9 landscape at 1920x1080 is the LinkedIn-native format. For maximum feed engagement on mobile, 1:1 square at 1080x1080 or 4:5 portrait at 1080x1350 occupies more vertical space as users scroll. Most teams use 16:9 as the master and produce a 1:1 variant for feed drops.

What is the LinkedIn video size limit?

LinkedIn caps feed videos at 5 GB per file and 10 minutes of duration. Company Page videos follow the same limits. LinkedIn Live streams have their own policies that depend on your account type, but direct uploads from the share composer stay under those ceilings comfortably.

How long can a LinkedIn video be?

Feed videos can be up to 10 minutes long. LinkedIn Stories have a 20 second cap per segment (now retired on most accounts). Sponsored video ads run up to 30 minutes under paid placements. For most organic posts, 1 to 3 minutes is the sweet spot for completion rate.

Does LinkedIn support vertical video?

Yes. Vertical 9:16 and 4:5 uploads work, and LinkedIn increasingly surfaces vertical content in the mobile feed. For maximum vertical impact, 4:5 portrait at 1080x1350 balances vertical space with feed consistency. Pure 9:16 1080x1920 is supported but gets letterboxed on desktop.

What is the best video format for LinkedIn?

MP4 with H.264 video and AAC audio at 1080p resolution and a bitrate between 5 and 10 Mbps. That gives clean playback after LinkedIn's server-side transcode and uploads quickly. This tool outputs that combination for the landscape preset by default.

Should I add captions to LinkedIn video?

Yes. 85 percent of LinkedIn videos play without sound in the feed, so burned-in captions or an uploaded SRT track noticeably improves watch time. LinkedIn also auto-generates captions with decent accuracy, but manual SRT upload is more polished for anything branded.

Can I upload a 4K video to LinkedIn?

You can upload up to 5 GB, which accommodates short 4K clips. LinkedIn downscales playback to 1080p in most viewers, so 4K source is usually overkill. Uploading at 1920x1080 saves bandwidth and gives LinkedIn's transcoder less work to do, producing a cleaner final stream.
