Tag people in your photos

Last updated: 3 years ago
Tagging people in your photos encourages engagement with your images. Tagging people notifies those members that your photo might be relevant to them and these tagged photos become linked with the associated members’ profiles. Viewers can click on connection names to navigate to their profiles. After you tag someone and finish your post, that person will receive a notification and an email letting them know they were tagged, unless they turned off this notification setting.

To tag someone in a photo:

  1. At the top of your homepage, click Photo in the share box.
  2. Select images you'd like to upload. You can select up to nine images for your post. Photo requirements are:
    • The size limit for an upload is 5 MB.
    • We recommend the image be at least 552 (w) x 276 (h) pixels. Small, low-resolution photos may appear low-quality.
    • Image frame ratio ranges from 3:1 to 4:5 (width/height). If the ratio is larger, the image will be centered and cropped.
    • Uploaded images can't be resized.
  3. Click Tag in the Edit your photo pop-up window, and then click anywhere on the photo.

  4. Type the name of the member you want to tag, and click on the name to add the tag.

    • Repeat these steps to tag more people. You can tag up to 30 people per photo.
    • For multiple photos, scroll to each selected image in the Edit your photo pop-up window.
  5. (Optional) Click Add alt text to describe the contents of your photo.

    • Adding alternative text makes your photo more accessible.
  6. Click Done to preview.
  7. (Optional) Type the content of your post in the What do you want to talk about? field in the Create a post pop-up window. The character limit for a post is 3000 characters.

    • Note: The change in character limit for a post will be gradually rolled out and may not be available to you at this time. If you don’t see this yet, please check back in the coming weeks.
  8. Select who you want to share the post with.
  9. Click Post.
Notes:
  • LinkedIn members don't need to be your connection for you to tag them.
  • As an author, you can remove tags after you post.
  • As a tagged member, you can remove tags of yourself on a post.
