A LinkedIn cover photo is an image that people put up on their LinkedIn profiles. This is also known as a LinkedIn background photo or LinkedIn profile banner. When a person creates a LinkedIn account, he/she needs to put his/her image to make the account identifiable. Your LinkedIn background photo is a way to represent your brand and your personality. When you use it correctly and wisely, your LinkedIn cover photo or background photo helps new contacts and hiring supervisors get a sense of your brand and get to know you well.
