    • Supported formats: JPG, PNG, GIF (max 5MB).
    • The image will be previewed in a circular cropper.
    • Adjust the crop area and zoom as needed for best results.

  5. Upload and Save

    • Click Upload to save your new avatar.
    • Wait for the upload to complete. You’ll see a success message if the upload is successful.
    • Your new avatar will appear on your profile and throughout the platform.

Avatar Requirements

  • File types: JPG, PNG, or GIF
  • Maximum size: 5MB
  • Recommended dimensions: At least 256x256 pixels for best quality
  • Content: Use a clear, professional image. Inappropriate images may be removed by administrators.

Troubleshooting

  • If your image fails to upload, check the file type and size.
  • If the new avatar does not appear immediately, try refreshing the page.
  • If you see an error, try a different image or contact support.
  • If you remove your avatar and still see the old image, try clearing your browser cache.

Removing Your Avatar

  • To remove your avatar and use the default image, hover over your avatar and click the trash/delete icon.
  • The default avatar will be restored immediately after removal.

Tip: For best results, use a square image and center your face in the crop area. The uploader will crop your image to a circle.
