Three most recent viewers from the last 90 days, when your own viewing option displays your name and headline. Private viewers remain unidentified.
Window: Last 90 days · three most recent viewers
Your full name, headline, and photo. They get a clear 'so-and-so viewed your profile' entry. This is the strongest soft signal you can send a prospect.
Genuinely anonymous viewers. If someone browses you in full private mode, no plan, browser extension, or "profile viewer" app can reveal them. Tools that promise to are either guessing or harvesting your login. Do not connect them.
A profile view is context. Public engagement is evidence.
Embers monitors supported public engagement, matches people to your ICP, and explains which signals deserve a manual follow-up. It does not identify anonymous profile viewers.
No payment for the audit. No LinkedIn login. You decide who to contact.
Can you see who viewed your LinkedIn profile?
Yes, but only inside LinkedIn, and how much you see depends on your plan. LinkedIn keeps the "Who's viewed your profile" list on their own site. No outside website, browser extension, or app can read it for you. What changes is how far back the list goes and whether private viewers are named.
Free / Basic
A capped recent list
Free accounts see only a limited number of their most recent viewers, not the full history. Viewers who browsed in private mode appear anonymously. It is enough to notice a pattern, not enough to track everyone.
Premium & up
The full 90-day list
Premium, Sales Navigator, and Recruiter show every non-private viewer from the last 90 days, with search and filtering. Anyone who chose full anonymity still shows as "LinkedIn Member".
Private mode: the trade-off most people miss
Your "Profile viewing options" setting controls what others see when you visit their profile: your full identity, just your title and industry, or a fully anonymous "LinkedIn Member". The catch is that going private is a two-way switch. The moment you browse anonymously, LinkedIn turns off your own "Who's viewed your profile" list. You cannot watch your viewers and hide from them at the same time.
Why "LinkedIn profile viewer" tools are a trap
Search results are full of sites promising to show "who viewed your LinkedIn" or to unmask anonymous visitors. None of them can. A genuinely anonymous viewer is anonymous to LinkedIn's own Premium product too. These tools work one of two ways: they invent plausible-looking names, or they ask you to log in with your LinkedIn credentials so they can act as you. The second kind breaks LinkedIn's User Agreement and can get your account restricted. If a tool asks for your LinkedIn password, close the tab.
A profile view is a signal. Here's how to use it.
A known profile view can be useful context, but it is not proof of buying intent. The useful move is not to unmask everyone. It is to combine supported public engagement with ICP fit and recent context before deciding whether to follow up. Embers does not identify anonymous profile viewers. It reviews supported public signals, explains why each person surfaced, and keeps the final action manual. Request a free Signal Audit to see that workflow using the public evidence available for your market. Pair it with the LinkedIn SSI Score Checker to raise how often the right people land on your profile in the first place. A clear headline helps those visitors understand fit quickly: generate LinkedIn headline options when you need a new one, then score your current headline before you publish it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I see who viewed my LinkedIn profile with this tool?
No, and be careful with any tool that says it can. Only LinkedIn can show who viewed you, inside their own site under 'Who's viewed your profile' when you are logged in. This checker explains exactly what your plan and privacy settings let you see, so you know what to expect before you open LinkedIn.
Can free LinkedIn accounts see who viewed their profile?
Partly. Free accounts see only a limited list of your most recent viewers, not the full 90-day history, and anyone who browsed you in private mode shows up anonymously. LinkedIn Premium shows the full list of non-private viewers from the last 90 days.
Do any third-party LinkedIn profile viewer tools actually work?
No legitimate one can reveal a viewer who chose to be anonymous. Tools that claim to show 'who viewed your LinkedIn' are either guessing from unrelated data or asking for your LinkedIn login, which violates LinkedIn's User Agreement and puts your account at risk. Do not connect them.
Does LinkedIn tell someone when I view their profile?
It depends on your browsing mode. In public mode they see your name, headline, and photo. In semi-private mode they see only your job title and industry. In anonymous mode they see 'LinkedIn Member' with no identifying detail. The trade-off: while you browse privately, LinkedIn also turns off your own list of who viewed you.
How do I see who viewed my LinkedIn profile?
On LinkedIn, click 'Who's viewed your profile' from your dashboard or go to linkedin.com/me/profile-views. Free accounts see a capped recent list; Premium accounts see the full 90-day list minus anonymous viewers.
Is a profile view a buying signal?
A known profile view can be useful context, but it is not proof of buying intent. Embers does not identify anonymous profile viewers. It monitors supported public engagement, matches people to your ICP, and explains which signals may deserve a manual follow-up.
