How to Change Your Picture on Facebook

Your Facebook profile image displays as part of your profile in the site's search results, as well as beside any comments you post and in the corner of your profile page. Change the profile picture to showcase a new self-portrait or event, or just to freshen up your page. Your picture can come from your computer, your webcam or a Facebook photo album.

Instructions

1. Launch a new tab or window in your browser and navigate to your Facebook page. Click the link below your profile picture to edit your profile.

2. Click "Profile Picture" in the menu bar on the left-hand side of the screen.

3. Select "Browse" to upload an image from your computer as your profile picture. Navigate to the picture and select it. Click "Take Picture" to take a picture with your computer's webcam, if it is equipped with one. To use a picture that's already on Facebook, navigate to an image in a photo library, click "Tag this Photo" to tag yourself in the image, then select "Make Profile Picture."

4. Drag the crop square to the location on the image that contains the section you want for your profile picture, then choose "Done Cropping."
