How we calculate this
Methodology and source handling
We convert physical sizes to inches, multiply by the selected DPI/PPI value, and round to whole pixels.
Quick answer
Copy-ready answer
LinkedIn Document ads are not one fixed pixel canvas. Use a consistent standard page layout such as Letter or A4, keep the document under 100 MB, and prefer under 10 pages unless the campaign needs a longer document.
Dimensions and specs
| File types | PDF, DOC, DOCX, PPT, PPTX | |
|---|---|---|
| Max file size | 100 MB | |
| Recommended length | Under 10 pages | |
| Layouts | Vertical, horizontal, square |
Formula
How to calculate this size
210 mm x 300 PPI = 2,480 px wide.
Use this when the artwork stops at the finished edge.
Add 0 mm per side before calculating pixels when artwork reaches the edge.
Common mistakes
Avoid these linkedin document ad size and specs problems
Ad platforms can use different specs for feed, story, banner, and display placements.
Export a clean, compressed file before upload so text and logos stay sharp.
Keep logos and copy away from crop-prone edges and UI overlays.
