Hey I just wanted to share how to change your profile pic in case you did not know how!

First find your picture online and right click.

Then you will click on Settings.

After that you will paste that link in your Profile Picture URL

Hope this helps some people.. Thanks for checking out my post!

@chinyong your photo shows up for me. 🤘

Posted using Partiko iOS

yeah very useful, I can't believe someone below mentioned it didn't work for them. Thanks guys.

Sometimes this doesn't work unfortunately . I have tired this. I've actually had to put into dropbox and then use dropbox's link creator on their affiliated site to get to appear on my steemit account.

I am still trying to get my dtube and steemit profile pictures to link. My profile pic shows up on my steemit account, but not on my dtube account. I'm still having problems. lol

Well, i revoke my previous comment. I went to my youtube and copied the link to my profile picture, and it WORKED!

@felipesuarez and @stealthtrader

@guidov4 I actually did this and it linked my steemit and dtube profile picture. This picture is from my youtube and i just copied the address on the picture.

Figured since you were looking for the answer too, i would point you to this thread.

Thanks again @stealthtrader !

Awesome glad to hear it!

sorry been out of pocket for a minute and just seen yall were looking on how to fix profile picture. This is what I did. Hope it helps.

How long does it take before it takes effect because I placed my instagram url and nothing still

A useful guide :)

Thank you 🤘 😄

Thanks so much!! I've been fighting with this! : )))

Wow. Upvoted this great content. This really helps. It's such a nice feeling when you got questions and somehow you feel some Steemian would already have the answer you'll be looking for. This is like Next Level Googling. :)

ahahaahahh SO true :D

I saw your comment on a post. I was shocked when I saw your profile picture because you are the first one who is using profile picture. Thanks for this short tutorial.

:D

RS and UV for you, this helped me out a ton!!! TY very much!!!!!!!!

thank you!
you just made that very easy :)

thank you, very easy to do that :)

I am new and was trying to find a way upload the profile picture directly. You cleared things up for me. Thanks.

Hey! Thanks! Any idea how to get it to fit the placeholder? To reduce the dimensions so that the entire picture is visible.. ?

How long does it take for your propic to be visable. I don't even have a generic one now.

same problem how did u fix it?

Google photos doesn't work. I forget which hosting site I used.

Well i have tried with this link: but its not working Brother can you please guide me or somebody help me out with this ?

Or may be it takes time to show ??
Waiting for your response thanks.

Thank you so much! I have been on this platform for a few days and went looking online to find out how to do this correctly cause for some reason nothingggg worked for me.

This did! Thank you!!!

Wow, thanks so much bro👍👍When you are new sometimes you don't want to ask about the simple things.

Yesss it worked! Thanks @stealthtrader

I was trying it with Photobucket because I already had that but it work. I tried Imgur and it worked right away. :)

How can i put my picture online

@stealthtrader Thanks a lot! I kept copying the link that Imgur gave me instead of right clicking and copying image address lol. Fundamental stuff like this is extremely helpful for new Steemians!

Thank you. Had the same problem, it's not easy to find a solution for this :D

Thank you very much! :)

Easiest explanation so far. Thanks!

Nice simple post! Works well you can grab your pic right off Face Book I had a Photobucket setup and it kept defaulting out.

Finally! 🙏🏾

Great! It really worked dude. Thanks

Glad this is still helping people!

Thanks! I'm brand new – setting up my account right now – and I had NO IDEA how to do this.

It was so helpful for us who are novice, thank you! :)

This helped a lot dude thank you!

Never works for me. I have tried hundreds of times.

thanks for Sharing ,please look at my post ,i am just starting out and have just shared my first post on my adventure to Aftica burn south Africa;s burning man ,with some great photographes ,please like and follow Regards Graham

I was trying several times but its just too easy to follow your instruction. Thanks

Muchas gracias!!

Thank you so much, easily explained how to update my profile pic.

THANK YOU!!!

straightforward super easy and it worked. I tried three other ways on my own and reading some posts in here but yours is the only one that worked. thanks

Thanks! Exactly what I was looking for!

Thank you! This was very useful and the best: it works :)

And if the pict is in your hard disk?

Thank you so much. I was going to a picture of me on Facebook, highlighting and copying the URL, and pasting that in the Profile Pic window and that would not work.

Thanks a lot :-)

Thanks stealthtrader, so simple (yet difficult for noobs like me!)
Could you offer a tip of how to upload a picture from my computer or phone that is not online?

thanks it works and you have been followed and upvoted

@stealthtrader , thanks for your help.

Thanks for the info, you helped me.

Thanks, it shoud be easy, but i couldnt do it, until I read this post... ;)

Thanks a lot, that was a very useful tip :)

Thanks for the info! it worked!

Thank you

Thank you, I'm so new to Steemit and this really helped. I'd been copying my Google Drive image links for 2 days and getting frustrated. Again, Thanks!

Anytime.. Hope all is well!

Better than Google! Thank you so much!

Thank you!!!!

@stealthtrader thank you so much for this post :) ! I was struggling to add a profile picture and this worked

Thanks. I keep on staring at PROFILE PICTURE URL wondering, What does that even mean? You made it simple enough.

thank you very much

that was excellent quick help

Thanks @stealthtrader! that helped me quick and easy. nice to see at #2 on google search too :-)

@stealthtrader, very usefull! Thanks.

commenting in part as a test. I have added links from various sources using various guides and all I end up with is a blank space. Does it take awhile to show up or something?

To answer my own question. It takes awhile to show up. It took about ten minutes for me!

Thank you so much!! so glad that I found your post!!

thanks so much,, its really helpful. :) coz im new here :D

Great post! I see comments from people using links away from steemit, and that is great if you already have an image hosted elsewhere that you want to use.

If you want steemit to host the image, first make a post here on steemit with an image, and publish the post. Then copy the image link as described above.

thank you :3

Thanks for this info i didnt know how to do it

Thank you for this good explanation. I am totally new at steemit and this info is a good help to setup my account.

Was trying tons of different links. Can't believe it was something as simple as an imgur address....thanks though!

Thanks, worked from Facebook, I was trying from old photo hosting sites and some like Photobucket limit it. Crazy. Tried imgsafe.org and got nothing to upload, not sure what's up with that.

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Perfect thank you.

To reiterate for others, the image he is right clicking on is hosted on Facebook.

Thank you for this. I "followed" you. I am am new here so I will really appreciate it if you follow me back. Thanks!

This wasnt working for me. Fixed by signing out and in again. Have a great day ! :)

I uploaded my image to imgur.com hours ago, and linked to the address provided for that image, and it still has not posted. (https://imgur.com/a/32mz6) The image is only about 50kb so that should not be the issue. Maybe imgur.com will not work as an upload location. I also went to imgsafe.org and the site did not load the upload button, on either Chrome or Firefox. Maybe I should try the Youtube link suggestion.

Its been 24 hours now and my image still has not loaded. What's Up?

Update - I added .jpg to the end of the imgur.com address, and now the images uploaded.

Sorry, for the dumb question. But I have nothing of me online yet. No profile pics, no nothing. What to do now?

I suppose you upload one somewhere else (Facebook perhaps) and use that?

... or I would suppose that if your post hadn't been 29 days ago and you clearly hadn't already solved the problem :( :D

how can this be done on mac with a pic which is on the hdd?

Very very helpful, I knew it would be easy, I just needed it spelt out for me. Thank you!!

Thanks for this!! Super clear and helpful :)

I put in a valid url (to a picture of my on my travel blog) and not only did the picture not upload, but the very option to edit my profile is now gone. I have no idea what's going on.

You're a life saver! Thank you so much!

Hi my dear Steemians,

Can someone please help!! I have been steemit for almost 3 months now, I am struggling with time in uploading my profile pic and a cover image.

I tried 4 different sites, none of them seem to work. I think this must be the hardest job in the world, trying to upload a profile pic!! Why can't this be as simple as uploading a profile pic to WhatsApp!!

Please kindly assist.
