How to use the Article Header and Pin

  1. 1

    Write the title

    Type the article title and an optional label such as the topic or "New article". Add your name or website for the footer line.

  2. 2

    Add a photo and pick a style

    Drop in a photo or keep the sample gradient. Pick photo with overlay, split or framed style, then set the background and accent colors and the font.

  3. 3

    Download the pair

    Download the header, the pin or both in a ZIP. Use the header as the article cover and pin the tall image with a link to the article.

Every LinkedIn article and blog post needs a wide cover image, and every post you want found on Pinterest needs a tall pin. Making them separately means two designs that drift apart. This maker draws both from the same title, photo, colors and font, so the header on the article and the pin that sends people to it clearly belong together.

Choose the 1920 × 1080 size for LinkedIn articles, newsletters and most blog themes, or 1200 × 627 for link previews. The pin is always 1000 × 1500. Download each image or both in one ZIP named after your title. Your photo is drawn in your browser and never uploaded.

Why the header and the pin should match

When someone clicks a pin and lands on an article with the same image and title at the top, they know they are in the right place. That continuity keeps people reading instead of hitting back. It also makes your work recognizable: after a few posts, readers start to spot your style in the Pinterest feed.

The two images share a title, colors and font, but the layout adapts. On the wide header the text sits beside or over the photo; on the tall pin it sits below or over the lower half, where it reads well on a phone.

Tips for article cover images

LinkedIn and many blog themes crop the edges of a cover image on small screens, so keep the title away from the edges. The layouts here keep a wide margin for that. Short titles of six to ten words read best at both sizes.

Article Header and Pin FAQ

What size is a LinkedIn article cover image?

LinkedIn recommends 1920 × 1080 pixels (16:9) for article and newsletter covers. This maker exports that size, plus 1200 × 627 for link previews when you share a post URL.

Can I use the header for my blog too?

Yes. 1920 × 1080 works as a featured image in most blog themes, and 1200 × 627 works as the social sharing image. Both keep the title away from the edges so cropping does not cut it.

Do I need a photo?

No. Without a photo, the sample gradient in your background color is used. With a photo, choose the overlay style for a bold look or the split and framed styles to keep the photo clean.

What size is the pin?

The pin is 1000 × 1500 pixels, the 2:3 ratio Pinterest recommends. It uses the same title, colors and font as the header.

Are my images uploaded?

No. The photo is read and both images are drawn in your browser. Downloads are made on your device, with no sign-up or watermark.
