How to: Add or change a profile picture

Your profile picture shows on your portfolio, in client searches and next to your messages. A clear photo of yourself helps clients see there’s a real person behind the work.


How to add or change your profile picture


  1. Go to your portfolio while logged in.
  2. Click the camera icon on your profile picture. The Profile picture window opens.
  3. Drop a photo into the box, or click browse to choose one. Use a JPG or PNG at least 400 x 400 pixels.
  4. Click Upload photo.






Position and save your photo


Once your photo has uploaded, you can adjust how it sits in the circle:


  • Drag the photo to reposition it.
  • Use the Zoom slider, or pinch or scroll, to zoom in and out. Click Reset to undo your changes.
  • Check the Preview on the right to see how it looks on your profile, and in search results and messages.


When you’re happy, click Save photo.




Change or remove your photo


  • To use a different image, click Upload a different photo.
  • To take your photo off your profile, click Remove photo.


Use a real photo of yourself if you can. Clients tend to engage more when they can see who they’ll be working with.
