How Can I Get Pictures From the Internet & Put Them on My Facebook Profile Picture?

The social networking website Facebook allows you to share a wide variety of information with your friends, including your age, location, education, employers and pictures of you, your friends and family. Your Facebook profile picture is your main picture that appears in several locations throughout Facebook and you can change this picture at anytime. Although your profile picture is generally a picture of yourself, you can change it to your favorite animal, sports team or a scenery image. If you find a picture on the Internet that you would like to have as your Facebook profile picture, you must save the picture to your computer and upload it to the Facebook website.

Instructions

1. Locate a picture on the Internet that you want to add to your Facebook profile.

2. Right-click the picture and click "Save Picture As." Select a destination on your computer and click "Save."

3. Log in to your Facebook account and click "Profile."

4. Click the "Photos" link located in the left column of your profile, under your profile picture.

5. Click the "Upload Photos" button in the upper right corner of your screen.

6. Click "Select Photos" and navigate to the location that you saved the picture.

7. Double-click the picture and a dialog box with the picture's upload progress appears on your screen. Enter an album name in the "Name of Album" field and location of the picture in the "Location" field.

8. Select whether you want the picture visible to Everyone, Friends of Friends or Friends only, and click "Create Album" when the upload is complete.

9. Click the picture to enlarge it on your screen.

10. Click the "Make Profile Picture" link below the picture. Facebook removes your previous profile picture from your profile and replaces it with the new picture.
