LinkedIn is the web’s premier social networking site for business and professional contacts of all kinds. Whether you’re a hiring manager, an entrepreneur building a business, or a job seeker looking for new opportunities, a well-designed profile that showcases your brand is key to success on LinkedIn. But you don’t need to hire the services of a designer to create that professional look. With Adobe Spark Post, you can create your own custom LinkedIn banner or LinkedIn background image — even if you’ve never designed anything before.

How to make a LinkedIn banner
-
Pick a size and shape
To create your banner, select the “Start from Scratch” option at the top of the Templates screen. That opens a new set of templates that includes “Banner” and “LinkedIn Background.” Select “Banner,” and the editable template appears in your projects window, presized for display on LinkedIn.
-
Choose a theme
Adobe Spark Post includes a long list of themes that you can access from the drop-down menu in your projects window. When your selection appears on the canvas, click inside it to edit.
-
Personalize with images
Themes come with backgrounds that can be edited in many ways. You can select a solid color, add an image from your own files, or search for free Creative Commons images from anywhere on the web to add LinkedIn background photos, free LinkedIn background images or LinkedIn cover photos to your design.
-
Describe with engaging text
To add new text to your banner, select “Text” from the design tool drop-down menu and begin typing in the highlighted text box. Change fonts and styles by highlighting the text and selecting a new choice from Post’s font menu.
-
Download, share, or print
Once you’ve finished your banner, select Post’s “Share” option. Spark will generate a unique link that you can copy and paste to your LinkedIn profile or share anywhere on the web — or download and save your design to your computer for printing or posting.
Customize your LinkedIn banner
Adobe Spark Post makes it easy to extend the reach of your LinkedIn banner. All the projects you create in Spark are saved to your project gallery so that they can be used in projects you create with other Spark tools. And with Spark’s “Resize” option, you can adjust the dimensions of your banner for other uses, such as a header for your Twitter or Facebook profile.
