subject: 3 Fantastic Steps For Changing Your Facebook Profile Photo [print this page] If you have been using Facebook for any amount of time then you will know how important it is to have a Facebook profile picture. Not only does it mean that when people go to add you as a friend, they can be sure it is you, but it also just brightens up your profile page and makes it more interesting! This article will show you how to change your Facebook profile picture in 3 super simple steps.
Step 1
Before you start, make sure that you are signed into your Facebook account. Then, from the primary Facebook page, you can select 'Edit my profile' which is a blue link on the left hand side. Next, click on 'Profile Picture', from the list.
Step 2
You are then presented with two choices - you can either decide to 'Take a picture' or you may like to 'Choose file'. As such, you can either take a picture using your laptop or webcam or you may like to choose an image or photo file which you have previously saved on your computer. When you have either taken your photo or selected one on your computer, Facebook will tell you that it is 'Uploading Photo'. Be careful not to click on anything at this time and make sure that you do not try to go to another page on Facebook or the upload may fail.
Step 3
Your image will be shown on the screen as soon as it has been loaded up onto Facebook. You can then adjust the thumbnail of the image - this means that when a smaller version of your picture is produced on Facebook, users will be able to see the most relevant part of it.
If you have followed these steps, you will have now changed your Facebook profile picture - well done! If you click on 'View my profile', you will be able to check that the changes have actually been made. You will be taken to view your profile where you can see that everything is as you want it.
