Do you post images with your LinkedIn status updates? I share a lot of excerpts from my best-selling books, Ultimate Guide to LinkedIn for Business and Ultimate Guide to Twitter for Business.

I have the posts scheduled in Sendible with the text version of the excerpts plus an image with the same text. In the past, I had more views and likes when I include an image but I'm testing some text-only posts based on a case study I recently read.

I was including 800x800 images and they looked fine on LinkedIn until recently. 

See how the image is cut off?

Today I created a new image using Canva 's LinkedIn Post Header image size and it looks great. The correct image size is 700x400 so make sure you use this when you post status updates on LinkedIn.
