How to download an image from a LinkedIn post

Can you save a LinkedIn image?

Yes, when the post is public. LinkedIn shows the picture to anyone who opens the post, so a browser can save it like any other image. The picture belongs to its author, so keep it for personal use and give credit if you share it.

ReelGrab saves LinkedIn videos from a link. Images are different, because LinkedIn does not offer a public file link for them, so the steps below use your own browser or phone. A multi-image post can hold up to twenty pictures, and each is saved one at a time.

On a computer

Open the post in your browser and click the picture so that it opens in the full-size viewer. Right-click the picture and choose Save image as, pick a folder and confirm. The picture in the viewer is larger than the one in the feed, so you get a better copy. If the right-click menu has no such option, try another browser.

For a post with several pictures, move through them with the arrow keys or the on-screen arrows and save each one the same way. Name them clearly, since downloaded images often arrive with long codes for names.

On iPhone

Open the post in Safari, tap the picture to enlarge it, then touch and hold it until a menu appears. Choose Add to Photos. In the LinkedIn app, tap the image, then the three dots, and look for a save option, which is not always offered. If it is missing, copy the post link and open it in Safari instead.

If you want to keep the picture in a particular album, move it from Recents after saving.

On Android

Open the post in Chrome, tap the picture to enlarge it, then touch and hold it and choose Download image. The file lands in your Downloads folder and appears in Gallery or Google Photos soon after. If you cannot find it, open the Files app, choose Downloads, and move it to a folder you can find easily.

Carousels, documents and slides

A LinkedIn carousel is often a PDF document that you swipe through, not a set of separate pictures. Open the post and look for a download icon if the author allows it. If it is not offered, save each slide as an image with the steps above, or open the document in full screen and capture it as a last resort. Screenshots lose quality, so use them only when nothing else works.

Documents that you download as PDF can be viewed offline, searched and printed, which is often better than saving separate pictures.

Checking the quality you got

LinkedIn stores pictures at limited sizes. A typical post image is around 1200 pixels wide, and some are smaller. You cannot make a picture larger than the original without losing sharpness, so judge by the full-size viewer: what you see there is what you will save.

Charts and text screenshots look best when saved from the viewer and kept as PNG or JPG without further compression. Avoid sending them through apps that shrink pictures automatically.

If the post has a video

Copy the post link, open the LinkedIn page of this site, paste the link and press Download. When the post is public you get the video as an MP4 with its sound. Our guide to LinkedIn videos covers this in more detail, including quality and troubleshooting.

Rights, credit and why saving can fail

Posts from private profiles, connection-only posts and deleted posts cannot be opened without logging in, so they cannot be saved. Check that the post opens in a private window. If it does, it is public.

Pictures belong to their authors. Using a saved chart in a presentation, an article or a course without permission can cause complaints. Credit the author, link to the original post and ask first when the picture matters to your work. Never save or share pictures of private individuals without their consent.

Quick answers

Can this site save a LinkedIn picture from a link? Not at the moment. It saves LinkedIn videos. For pictures, use the browser steps above.

How many pictures can a post hold? LinkedIn allows several pictures in one post, and each can be saved separately.

What is the best format for charts and text? Keep them as PNG or JPG at full size and avoid apps that reduce picture quality when you send them.

Can I download a document carousel as one file? If the author allows it, the document has a download icon and saves as a PDF.

Tips for using saved pictures

If you plan to share a picture, write down the author's name and the post link as soon as you save it. That gives you what you need to credit them. If the picture shows data, check the date, because numbers in charts can go out of date quickly.

For accessibility, add a short description when you reuse a picture in your own post. People who use screen readers rely on it, and it also helps when a picture fails to load.

Common mistakes to avoid

The most common mistake is saving the small picture in the feed instead of opening the full-size viewer first. The viewer gives you a larger, sharper copy. Another mistake is taking a screenshot of a carousel, which captures buttons and borders and lowers quality. If the author allows a document download, use it. A third mistake is pasting an image post into a video downloader and wondering why nothing is found. Images are saved with your browser, and only videos use the link tool. Finally, do not reuse pictures of other people's slides or charts in presentations without asking. Credit and permission take only a minute and protect your reputation.
