LinkedIn video size
A LinkedIn video should be 1080×1350 px (4:5) or 1080×1080 px (1:1) or 1080×1920 px (9:16) or 1920×1080 px (16:9). Keep text and logos 60 px from the top, 135 px from the bottom, 60 px from the left and 60 px from the right; that leaves 76% of the frame open for text. Recommended length: 15–45 seconds; maximum: 15 minutes.

Tips for LinkedIn
- Put the main message in the first frame: a scrolling viewer should read it in half a second.
- The video must make sense with the sound off; music and effects should support the message, not carry it.
- Keep text in the middle of the safe box; feed and profile-grid previews crop the edges.
- Choose the cover frame yourself: a big, readable headline in your brand color.
