13. Event Ad

Other
16:9 — JPGPNG — 1 High confidence — confirmed in the official documentation

Notes & best practice

Event Ads promote a LinkedIn Event or an off-platform event.

By default the ad uses the Event's cover image, or you can upload a custom ad image instead.

LinkedIn Help requires 16:9 for the event cover and the off-platform ad image, such as 1280x720 px, with a minimum width of 480 px.

LinkedIn's marketing spec page still shows an outdated 4:1.

Set the Event banner before launching.

Event details like date, time, and the registration button render automatically.

Introductory text is limited to 600 characters.

LinkedIn Help does not list a file size limit for the event image.
