Desktop vs Mobile Crop for LinkedIn Cover Photos

LinkedIn displays your banner differently across screens. On desktop computers, your profile picture overlaps the lower-left corner. On mobile phones, the avatar shifts toward the center-left, and the banner edges are cropped horizontally. Designing with key text and logos positioned on the right ensures your branding stays visible on all screens.
