Short for profile picture, PFP is the icon or image used next to a profile name. Most online services allow users who create an account to customize their profile picture to help make their account more personalized. The image of our logo is an example of a profile picture we often use.

How do I create a profile picture?

Creating a profile picture is like creating any other image, but the requirements may vary by service. For example, some services have file restrictions and may only allow GIF (graphics interchange format) or JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) images, while others may also allow PNG (portable network graphics) files. Furthermore, the file size and dimensions of the image may have special requirements so they display correctly.
