Profile pictures

You can upload up to five profile pictures to your digital portfolio — choose one to appear as your default picture. Your pictures must be between 16 × 16 and 1,170 × 1,170 pixels in size.
Note: For your image to look good on your profile, the recommended size is 100 × 100 pixels.
The profile images that you want to upload to your digital portfolio must be available on your computer. Choose one image at a time to upload. You can also give each image a title.
