The right video format for LinkedIn

LinkedIn accepts videos between 1:2.4 and 2.4:1. In the feed, a square video at 1080 × 1080 pixels works best – at the same width it is twice as tall as landscape.

On LinkedIn people scroll through the feed, mostly on their phones. A landscape video stays a narrow strip there; a square video fills the full width and much more height – and is more likely to catch the eye while scrolling.

A 16:9 video becomes a square when you place a 1:1 crop around the subject. If two people speak at the edges of the frame, the whole picture can stay in with a filled border at the top and bottom.

As of 12 October 2026. Lengths as stated by the platforms; they change often, and the app is what counts. No figure where the platform does not confirm a limit. "Free of app elements" are guide values from FrameJet’s preview – no platform publishes its overlay exactly.

Covered edges at 1080p

Only 65 px at the bottom edge are covered. The rest of the picture stays clear.

None of the other common formats uses 1:1.

What matters

Square instead of landscape

1:1 takes up more space in the feed than 16:9. It is the format FrameJet uses for LinkedIn.

Little overlay

LinkedIn places hardly anything over the video, just the playback bar at the bottom (about 65 px).

Length

Up to 15 minutes for regular posts. Short videos are watched to the end more often in the feed.

Your own thumbnail

LinkedIn accepts its own thumbnail as a file – a still frame at the start of the video is not needed.

Frequently asked questions

Which aspect ratio works best for LinkedIn videos?

For the feed, 1:1 at 1080 × 1080 pixels. LinkedIn accepts formats from 1:2.4 to 2.4:1, so landscape and portrait too.

How long can a LinkedIn video be?

Up to 15 minutes in a regular post.

How do I turn a landscape video into a square one?

With a 1:1 crop around the subject, or with the whole picture and a filled border at the top and bottom. FrameJet does both, and you pick the other formats in the same run.

Does FrameJet add subtitles for LinkedIn?

Not yet. FrameJet reformats the video; subtitles currently need to be in the video beforehand.
