If you want to delete it, you can follow the steps below. First, open the settings page for your profile. If the picture you&#8217;d like to remove is displayed, click the x icon in the right corner. If you don&#8217;t want to delete it, click the x icon again. Facebook will then display the default picture placeholder. If you have a picture that you want to keep, you can click the arrow to the left of the placeholder.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Defaults_to_blank_profile\"><\/span>Defaults to blank profile<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When your friend deletes their account or blocks you, Facebook will set the default profile picture to a blank white silhouette. The default image does not open or change, nor does it open up to a larger size when you click on it. In addition, if you delete your own account or block someone, Facebook will display a blank picture for your profile as well. To fix this, you should first check the settings for your browser.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to remove your profile picture from Facebook, there are two main methods. You can either delete it entirely or make it invisible to others. If you wish to remove it, you must edit your privacy settings on Facebook. This is the easiest way to delete your profile picture without deleting your main picture. This method is recommended for those who do not want to show their face to the public. If you do not want others to see your profile picture, you can choose to show it only to friends.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_be_changed\"><\/span>Can be changed<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t like the image currently displayed on your Facebook profile, you can change it by hovering over it. Hovering over the camera icon will display the &#8220;change image&#8221; link. Click on the link and choose the photo you want to change. The image you choose must be at least 170 pixels wide and high in order to display correctly on Facebook. You can reposition the picture as well, by dragging the circular portion to the section you wish.<\/p>\n<p>Changing the profile picture is not difficult. Once you&#8217;ve logged in to Facebook, you&#8217;ll see a box that asks you to choose an image. Click on the photo to zoom in and crop it. You can even choose to make it temporary &#8211; it&#8217;ll only be displayed on your profile for a set period of time. You can also add text or stickers to your profile. This option is great for those with visual impairments, as the text will be visible to them.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_be_deleted\"><\/span>Can be deleted<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Regardless of whether you use Facebook as your personal or professional social media network, there are a few ways to delete your profile picture. Rather than deleting your entire profile, you can delete your profile picture individually. First, you&#8217;ll need to log in to your account. Next, navigate to your profile page. Click on the See All Photos option. Once there, search for the photo you want to delete. Once you find it, tap on the More Options link under the image to view the photo rotation options or delete it.<\/p>\n<p>To delete your profile picture, open the Facebook mobile app. If you&#8217;re using a desktop, the process is slightly different. To remove a single picture, open the photo that you&#8217;d like to delete by clicking on the three dots located on the bottom navigation bar. From here, click Delete This Photo. Once you&#8217;ve done this, you&#8217;ll need to confirm the deletion before it takes effect. Then, select the picture you wish to delete from your profile.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_be_hidden\"><\/span>Can be hidden<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One way to view a person&#8217;s hidden profile picture is to click on the Photos tab, which is found below the cover photo. Clicking on the picture will open a list of all your pictures. Click on the picture you want to hide. Make sure the photo is in the Profile Pictures album. A pop-up window will appear with information about the picture and comments that were posted on the photo. Then, click the tiny globe icon located beneath the user name to view more privacy settings.<\/p>\n<p>You can hide your profile picture from people who don&#8217;t know you. This way, you can prevent your friends from viewing your private images. The only time these photos are visible to others is if they&#8217;re tagged in your posts. However, this feature only works for friends. Anyone else that checks out your friends&#8217; photos will see your hidden photos. And if you&#8217;d like your hidden profile picture to be hidden from everyone else, just remember to turn on the setting to make it visible again.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_be_hidden_without_deleting\"><\/span>Can be hidden without deleting<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Are you wondering if you can hide your profile picture in Facebook? If yes, then you will find that it is possible. You can easily change your privacy settings to hide your profile picture. The privacy settings on Facebook are the default &#8220;Everyone&#8221; or &#8220;Friends of Friends.&#8221; You can also change your privacy settings to &#8220;Only me&#8221; or &#8220;Customize.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>You can hide your profile picture by selecting &#8220;Hide&#8221; from the drop-down menu below your cover photo. This will allow you to hide your profile picture without deleting it. Moreover, this option will not affect your DP. It will only hide your profile picture from your friends, but it will remain on your profile. You can download and re-upload your profile picture by logging into Facebook.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Remove Profile Picture in Facebook You can delete, hide, or change your profile picture in Facebook.
