How do I change my avatar?
All profiles come with a default avatar in one of three colors.
Avatar images can only be .JPG, .PNG, or .GIF file types, and should be 100 pixels by 100 pixels in size. The file size limit for .JPG and .PNG files is 20 KB, and the limit for .GIF files is 100 KB.
To change your avatar:
- Visit your Profile and click your avatar at the top left of the page. (A “Change” option will appear when you hover over the icon.)
- A box will appear prompting you to drag and drop your desired image file into the box. Alternatively, you can click “Select a file.”
- After you upload the image you want, you will be prompted to use a selection box to choose what part of the uploaded image you want to display for your avatar.
- Once you’ve finalized the area you want to use, click “Confirm,” and your new avatar will appear.
Be sure to review DeviantArt’s policies regarding avatars before uploading a file.
