You may not be aware that larger size versions of LinkedIn profile pictures are available – that’s only if the owner had originally uploaded a higher resolution version. LinkedIn automatically resizes the uploaded pictures to a uniform “thumbnail” size of 60 pixels x 60 pixels, but the original is also made available for anyone to view.
Here’s how to view yours or anyone’s:
- Hover over the profile picture.
- A “magnifier” tool image appears in the bottom right of pic.
- Click on the “plus” in the magnifier and the full-size picture will appear in a pop-up window.
If there is no larger picture available the tool does not appear.
Privacy tip: Resize your picture before uploading. 200 or 250 pixels maximum is big enough for a contact or potential contact to know it’s really you.
