Change your Flickr profile photo

Your Flickr profile photo is the main image that represents you across the platform, it's what others see when they visit your profile or interact with your content. You can update it any time to keep things fresh and personal.

Things to keep in mind

  • 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.
