Add profile banner image

This is real work, not a feature someone invented — it comes from real job ads and real questions people asked. Below are four ready AI prompts: get it done, make it easy for the next person to say yes to, work out the right move when you are stuck, and stop it coming back.

I need a banner that makes my profile read like a professional headline. Upload the attached 1584x396 image to my profile banner, check how it crops at desktop and mobile widths, and confirm the final crop shows my full name on the left and the company logo on the right. Do not publish until you send me screenshots of desktop and mobile previews by Friday at 5pm.

Before I add a banner image to my profile, make it communicate credibility in one glance. Move any visual focus away from empty space so my name and current title are legible at 800px and 320px widths, increase contrast if the logo blends into the background, and flag any text that will be cut off on mobile. If the attached image needs retouching, suggest the minimal crop or text reposition that preserves the logo.

I uploaded a banner and it looks fine on desktop but the logo disappears on mobile.
I uploaded a banner this morning and on desktop it shows my name and the company logo correctly; on mobile the logo is cut off. Priya in marketing will expect a polished header and I worry this looks amateur to recruiters. I don’t know whether to crop, shrink the logo, or change the alignment. What is the most reliable fix that preserves the logo and keeps my name visible, and how do I test the change quickly?

my banners keep getting rejected or look bad on mobile.
Over the last six profiles I’ve updated, banners look fine on desktop but get cropped or lose the logo on mobile and marketing keeps sending new files. I lose time back-and-forth and look sloppy to hiring managers. What routine should I adopt so every new banner is mobile-safe, requires minimal rework from marketing, and I can approve it in under 15 minutes?

Questions people actually ask

honest answers, no sign-up

Every task here was seen in the real world. Someone doing the job named it, a real job ad asked for it, or a lot of people asked about it online.

If nothing real showed a task, it is not on the page. That is the whole rule.

They are the same job approached four ways, because what you need depends on where you are.

Get it done today. Make it easy for the next person to say yes to. Work out the right move when you are stuck. Learn the pattern so the job stops coming back.

For most of these jobs it can carry the heavy thinking - draft it, sort it, check it, rehearse it with you.

It cannot sit in your chair, take the blame when a number is wrong, or notice what nobody wrote down. Let it do the first 80%. Keep the last 20% that is truly yours.

No. Copy any prompt and paste it into the AI you already use. No account, no score, no wall in the way.

Any of them. The prompts describe the work rather than naming a product, so they are not tied to one assistant.

That is also why they keep working when you switch.

Change it freely. Every prompt is a starting line, not a rule.

Put in your real numbers, your real names and your real deadline. The more you make it yours, the better the answer comes back.

The tasks come from real job ads, published job data and the questions people ask in public forums.

The steps come from LinkedIn's own documentation, with practitioner sources for the traps the manual does not mention.

Push once. Ask it to sharpen the weakest part and to say what it assumed.

Most wrong answers come from a missing detail rather than a bad prompt - tell it the thing it could not know.
