Default User Profile Image

I have been trying to add an image to my User Profile and the upload keeps failing. I have resized the photo and it is within the required specifications but it still keeps failing. I have tried this several times now. Can anyone help?

If your resize is close to the requirement it may still be too large. example, a photo your software calls 1mb may be just over. A 'best for web' size might be only a hundred KB or less, and still have plenty of resolution in the size displayed.

Hope this was helpful

Default User Profile Image

I have been trying to add an image to my user profile but after several attempts have been unsuccessful. I have resized the photo down to less than 90 x 90 pixels (within the reqired specifications) but the upload does not work. I have also tried this with more than one photo. Can anyone help?

Hi, Bob!
It depends on which place you are trying to place the photo. The Profile Photo is only visible if someone visits your profile. The Avatar is the the photo that shows up next to your name in a post.

The Profile Photo has to be 100 pixels by 100 pixels or 64KB, whichever is smaller.

Avatar Photos must be 80 pixels by 80 pixels or 19.5KB, whichever is smaller.

Claude
