Things You'll Need:
- Twitter account
- Your image in GIF, JPG or PNG format
-
Step 1
Log in to your Twitter account. Enter your username and password on the Twitter.com page so you are looking at your profile page.
-
Step 2
Select "Settings" from the top menu bar. "Settings" is located in the top right corner and is the fourth option in the menu bar.
-
Step 3
Select the "Design" tab from your account management options. This page will show you a grid of pre-designed themes and give you the option to change your background image.
-
Step 4
Select "Change background image." This button is located directly under the themes section. Once selected, a new area will pop up below the tab.
-
Step 5
Upload your image. Use the "Browse" feature to upload your selected image into the system. This process will take a few seconds.
-
Step 6
Decide if you want to tile the image. Checking the "Tile background" box will create a series of duplicate images across your profile page. This works well for some designs, but not for all of them; if your background image is formatted correctly, it may look better in full size directly behind your Twitter updates page.
-
Step 7
Select "Save changes" to confirm the modifications. This button is located directly below the uploading section; once you click this, the background image will update automatically.
