Frequently Asked Questions
What should I put on my LinkedIn banner?
One clear message: what you do and who you help, your services, a call to action like your website, or what you're looking for. Two or three short lines is plenty.
How does this tool create banner ideas?
It builds the wording from what you type — your role, who you help, what you help them do, your skills and any proof — and shows each idea as a live banner preview. Missing details appear as [placeholders].
Can I edit and download the banner?
Yes. Click “Open in Banner Maker” on any idea to load its text and colours into the Banner Maker, where you can change everything and download a 1584 × 396 PNG or JPG.
What are good LinkedIn banner ideas for job seekers?
Your role and top skills, the kind of role you're open to, and an email or portfolio link. Choose the “Find a job” goal for these.
What about freelancers and consultants?
List your services and one clear next step, like a booking link — or lead with the outcome you deliver. Choose “Win clients”.
Should I put my achievements on my banner?
A credible proof point (a certification, a notable client, a book) can help — but only use claims you can back up. The tool adds a credibility idea only when you type real proof.
What size is a LinkedIn banner?
LinkedIn recommends 1584 × 396 pixels (4:1). The Banner Maker creates that size and shows where your profile photo will sit.
Where should text go on a LinkedIn banner?
On the right. Your profile photo covers the bottom-left on desktop and sits in the middle on the phone app, so right-aligned text is safest — every idea here is right-aligned.
Is it free?
Yes — free, no sign-up and no watermark.
