How to Download Images From a LinkedIn Post (Full HD)
6 min

LinkedIn hides its images behind a slideshow viewer, and there is no download option for anything except your own uploaded documents. If you want the full-resolution copy of an image from a post — an infographic, a chart, a photo, a piece of design work — you have to fetch it around the app. Here is how to save individual or multi-image LinkedIn posts as clean JPG or PNG files.

Why LinkedIn hides the download option

LinkedIn shows images through a lightbox viewer that lets you pan and zoom, but does not offer a right-click Save option or a Download button. This is a deliberate product choice: LinkedIn wants people to stay in the platform, not lift assets to reuse elsewhere. The images themselves are ordinary JPGs and PNGs stored on LinkedIn's CDN, though — a downloader that reaches those files directly can hand you the original.

02

The direct-fetch method

SnapFetch's LinkedIn Image Downloader works from a public post URL. You paste the link, and the tool retrieves each image in the post — one file, or every image if it is a multi-image post — at the original resolution the poster uploaded. No LinkedIn login, no app, and it works the same on any device.

03

Step by step

Find the LinkedIn post with the images you want. Click the three-dot menu at the top-right of the post and choose "Copy link to post." Open your browser, go to the SnapFetch LinkedIn Image Downloader, paste the link, and click Fetch. The tool lists each image in the post separately with a Download button under each. Save the ones you want; each downloads as an individual JPG or PNG in the original resolution.

04

Multi-image posts

This is where the tool really helps. LinkedIn posts with several images — infographic sets, before-and-after design comparisons, event photo galleries — show up in the viewer one at a time, and screenshotting each one at high quality is tedious. The downloader lists every image at once so you can grab them individually, or select all and download in one go. That saves a lot of clicking.

05

Quality

You get the original file the author uploaded. LinkedIn does compress images to some degree during upload, so the "original" is what LinkedIn stored, not necessarily the raw file that was on the author's computer. But it is dramatically better than a screenshot — sharp text, proper colours, correct aspect ratio. For infographics and charts, this is a night-and-day difference from screen captures.

06

Profile and banner pictures

The same approach works for LinkedIn profile pictures and banners. Paste the profile URL instead of a post URL, and the tool retrieves the full-size version of the profile picture (much larger than the small circle in the interface) and the header banner if there is one. Useful for confirming an identity, saving your own for backup, or getting a proper look at a company's branding.

07

Practical uses

People use this to save infographics for later reference, build reference decks from screenshots-that-are-actually-images, keep a copy of important company announcements, or archive their own posts.

Recruiters save candidates' portfolio images; designers keep reference boards; consultants archive their own posts for use in decks. The through-line is: LinkedIn has good visual content and no good way to keep it, so you route around the app.

08

When it will not work

Private profiles and members-only groups are the main block — only public posts and profiles work.

Text-only posts obviously have no images to fetch, and posts with only videos or documents will not return images either (use the video or carousel downloader for those). And if the link you copied is to a profile rather than a specific image post, the tool will treat it as a profile and try to fetch the profile picture rather than post images.

09

Get the images cleanly: open the LinkedIn Image Downloader, paste the post link, and download at full quality.
