data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">YouTube accepts JPG, PNG, BMP, and GIF files. Animated GIFs are not supported; only the first frame will display.<\/span><\/li>\n<li>The maximum file size is 15 MB, YouTube compresses and crops your upload to 98\u00d798 pixels and displays it as a circle.<\/li>\n<li>Use a square aspect ratio (1:1) to avoid awkward cropping. High-contrast images with a centered focal point work best because fine details disappear at small sizes.<\/li>\n<li>Your profile picture must follow YouTube Community Guidelines. Avoid nudity, violence, hate symbols, or misleading brand impersonation. YouTube may remove non-compliant images without notice.<\/li>\n<li>Changing your YouTube profile picture affects your entire Google account. If you update your <span style=\"text-transform: initial;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">photo<\/span><span style=\"text-transform: initial;\" data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> through YouTube Studio, Gmail, and Google Drive, it will reflect the same image.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Change_Profile_Picture_On_Desktop\"><\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">How to Change Profile Picture On Desktop<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Desktop users access profile picture settings through YouTube Studio.

Pair it with a custom banner image that reflects your content niche and a recognizable channel name. Consistent branding across all visual elements makes your channel easier to find and remember. High-contrast profile photos perform better in search results and suggested video thumbnails.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> Use a centered face or logo with bold colors that stand out at small sizes. Avoid text overlays because they become unreadable at 98\u00d798 pixels. Profile picture updates sync across your entire Google ecosystem. When you change your YouTube image, the same photo appears in Gmail, Google Drive, Google Calendar, and any other Google service linked to your account.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q1Why_does_my_old_profile_picture_still_show_on_some_devices\"><\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Q1)Why does my old profile picture still show on some devices?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Your old YouTube profile picture may still be appearing due to sync delays.
