LinkedIn is the largest professional social network in the world; every day millions of users use it for networking and find work. Therefore, it is very important to take care of the image we are giving to our potential partners and customers. But among so many people, how can we stand out? Very easy, with a good design. The cover photo on the personal page is an element that can help us make more attractive and improve the design of our profile.

EDIT is an online editor, with which you won’t need to download any program to start editing photos. In addition it is not necessary to have any knowledge in graphic design to get pieces with professional finishes. This tool seeks to save you time and money by allowing you to create your own images. To start creating and designing cover images for LinkedIn, you don’t need to learn to use this program, because it has been created so that its use is very intuitive and learning is improved with its use.

To create a professional cover for your profile,you  just have to follow these steps:

1. Open the editor and select the option "Images for LinkedIn covers".
2. Choose one of the fully modifiable templates that we propose or start with a blank canvas.
3. Add your own background image and start editing its elements (text, objects, icons, logo ...) you can also add filters to the picture.
4. Download the creation created in seconds and …
5. Share the new cover on LinkedIn and leave a mark on the world of work.

We have to bear in mind that there are two types of bio, personal profiles and company pages. However, through the background of both cases we have to manage to transmit the values, in the first case of the individual and in the second of the company. The image we want to give to the world, a first impression that represents what we want to communicate. For example, an artist can exhibit his works, an economist can show graphics... something that helps the user who enters your profile to identify what you do at a glance. If we miss the opportunity to add a profile image we are losing the option of giving our page a more personalized touch and will help to give a good feeling and more information about us or our company to the public.

One of the most important aspects to take into account is the background's size that we design, because if at the time of uploading the image is out of square or pixelated, all  the good points that can give our background image to us will become an inconvenient. We have to take into account the suggested size to avoid technical failures like these. EDIT has preset the appropriate size to avoid problems when loading the image in the social network. You’ll only have to choose the option “images for LinkedIn covers”  when you enter the editor and automatically the measurement will be adjusted.

Here's the recommended size for LinkedIn profile background covers updated for 2018:

• Background image: 1584 x 396 pixels

If you are working in a company and use social networks to spread it, it is essential that you have a presence on this social network. EDIT helps you to follow a corporate image in all the publications since you will have an internal memory inside your profile that will allow you to access all the designs that you have created previously and from them create new ones following the same pattern. You can also access and edit all of them from anywhere with Internet access, since it is an online program that has been adapted for use on mobile devices and tablets
