Common mistakes
| Mistake | Symptom | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Using the wrong LinkedIn asset | A Page cover design is uploaded to a personal profile. | Pick the asset type first: personal profile cover and Page cover use different recommended sizes. |
| Edge text | Taglines or URLs get cropped on narrower screens. | Keep important details centered and limit text density. |
| Soft banner | The uploaded banner looks blurry. | Use a larger source image and avoid repeated compression before upload. |
