  1. Hover over You | click Photostream.
  2. Hover over your Profile Photo and a pencil icon will appear | click on the pencil icon.
  3. You will be given the option to upload a new photo from your device or select an image from your Photostream or Albums.

Note:

  • 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.
  • Profile photos must be safe, and 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.
