Your Flickr profile photo is the primary icon that displays when others view your account.
How to change you profile photo on a web browser
There are two methods to change your profile photo when using a desktop web browser.
Account Settings
1. Click Settings.
2. Under the Profile section you will see your current profile photo. (Note: If the profile photo has never been changed, there may be a default camera icon in its place.)
4. Click the profile photo icon. You will be given the option to upload a new photo from your computer or select a new image from your Photostream or Albums.
The Profile Photo will be a small portion of the original image, so it’s best to select a photo that can be cropped to fit inside the circle.
Logged in from any Flickr page
1. Mouse over You | Click Photostream.
2. In the top left, click the profile photo icon. You will be given the option to upload a new photo from your computer or select a new image from your Photostream or Albums.
Note: Profile photos must be safe, acceptable to a global, public audience. If you choose to upload a photo that is not suitable for all members of the Flickr community it will be removed, and your account may be subject to deletion.
