Linkin Bio

Q. Is there a recommended image size for the logo section of the link in the bio builder of the social feature?

A. For optimal display on the page:

  • Use 80px–100px tall for square or round logos

  • Use 40px–64px tall for long (horizontal) logos

The easiest approach is to upload logos at these dimensions and turn auto-width ON in the builder.

For a crisp appearance on high-resolution screens, upload images at 1.5x the display size (e.g., 120px–150px or 60px–96px tall). You can then resize them using the image width setting in the builder. For square or round logos, an image width between 18%–22% usually works well.

A. Currently, direct linking to Instagram posts via the builder isn't supported. f you are interested in seeing this feature, please click here to share your thoughts. Your feedback goes straight to our product team and helps us prioritize what matters most to you.

As a workaround, you can add an image block in your Linkin Bio and hyperlink it to your Instagram post—ideal for showcasing a few of your most popular posts.

Social Sales Tracking

⚠️ Important: Here are some key details about how social sales tracking works:

  • Social sales tracking includes orders placed within the sales tracking window, it is based on the product, collection, or promotion included in the order within the sales tracking window.

  • Post engagement is not considered for sales tracking.
