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. In terms of size on the page, it is recommended to use 80px to 100px tall for square/round logos, and 40px to 64px tall for long logos. The easiest option is to upload the images that are this size and then turn auto-width 'on' in the builder.

If you want the logo to look crisp on high-resolution screens, the actual image should be 1.5x the screen size (so 120px to 150px or 60px to 96px). You can then resize the image on page using the image width in the builder. For square/round logos, an image width of 18% to 22% should do the trick.

A. Currently, there isn't a feature that will allow you to link Instagram posts via the builder. If this is a feature you are interested in, please reach out to our support team and let them know of your interest. In the meantime, if you'd like to have a small selection of your most popular posts visible, you could add an image block with the link to your social post.


Q. Can I sort the Linkin bio reporting by date?
