The short answer
LinkedIn suggests a square profile photo of at least 400 by 400 pixels. Add yours and the size is already set. Because LinkedIn shows it in a circle, centre your face before you resize and leave a little space above the head.
Your files stay on your device. This tool runs entirely in your browser and nothing is uploaded to a server.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use a bigger photo?
Yes. LinkedIn accepts larger pictures and shrinks them. 400 by 400 is the smallest recommended size, and a big file only slows the upload.
What makes a good profile photo?
A clear, recent face photo in good light, plain background, and neat clothes. A recruiter looks at it for a second, so avoid group shots and heavy filters.
