LinkedIn sizes are commonly recommended values. Banners crop differently on mobile, so keep important content centered.

Why LinkedIn images need resizing for Pinterest
LinkedIn images are often charts, slides, quote cards and event graphics, many in a wide link share shape. Those graphics usually contain text right up to the edges, so cropping them for Pinterest is risky. Resizing a LinkedIn image for Pinterest is mostly about framing it nicely in a taller canvas.
Color fill places the full graphic in the center of a 2:3 pin on a clean color, which keeps every word readable and looks professional. For square and portrait posts, blur fill or a light crop works too. Use your brand color for the fill to make a consistent series of business pins.
Tips for converting LinkedIn images
Keep text graphics whole
Most LinkedIn graphics have text near the edges. Use color fill so nothing is cut off.
Carousel slides become pins
Document carousel slides are often square or 4:5. Convert each slide to 2:3 and pin the strongest ones individually.
Pick a calm fill
A navy, charcoal or white fill keeps the professional tone and leaves room for a short title.

LinkedIn to Pinterest FAQ
How do I resize a LinkedIn image for Pinterest?
Upload the image, choose Standard pin, pick color fill and your brand color, and download. The full graphic stays visible in the middle of the pin.
Can LinkedIn carousels be pinned?
Yes. Export individual slides as images, convert each to 2:3 here and pin the most useful ones. A strong first slide often works best as a standalone pin.
Should I crop a LinkedIn banner?
No, banners are very wide and usually contain text. Use color fill and treat the banner as a strip within a taller pin.
