How to Download Your LinkedIn Profile as a PDF (and Check It)

Save your profile as a PDF in three clicks

If you can't find the button, check you're on a computer and not the app, and that you're on your own profile page rather than the home feed.

• Click the Me icon at the top of your LinkedIn homepage, then View profile.
• In the introduction section under your name and headline, click Resources. On some profiles the button is called More.
• Choose Save to PDF. Your browser downloads a file, usually called Profile.pdf.

What the PDF contains

The export is a plain, text-based version of your profile: your name, headline and location, contact details, your About section (labelled Summary), experience, education and a short Top Skills list, plus sections such as languages and certifications when you have them.

Images aren't part of it, so there's no photo or banner, and it doesn't show your Featured items or your full skills list. Check those on the profile itself.

Why a PDF instead of your profile link

Many tools ask for your LinkedIn URL, but LinkedIn shows profiles to automated visitors behind a sign-in wall, and its User Agreement doesn't allow scraping. A tool that claims to read your profile from a link is either asking you to sign in to it with your LinkedIn account or working from incomplete data.

The PDF comes from LinkedIn itself, contains exactly what you wrote, and you decide who gets it.

Use it to score your profile

Upload the PDF to the free Jobeefy LinkedIn profile checker. It reads the sections, scores your headline, About, experience and skills against the role you want in Canada, and lists the fixes that matter most. Then tick the things the PDF can't show, such as your photo, banner and Open to Work setting.
