It&#8217;s a pain and confusing, but you&#8217;ll be glad you did it once you know how! Continue reading to learn how to change your profile picture on Facebook!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Its_currently_impossible_to_make_private\"><\/span>It&#8217;s currently impossible to make private<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve been wondering about the ability to make your profile picture private on Facebook, you are not alone. The social media platform has made it difficult to create and share private profile pictures. Previously, you could only make your profile picture visible to your friends and close circle of friends. But recently, Facebook changed the default privacy setting without telling anyone. Now, even strangers can see your full profile picture. That means you can no longer do sketchy things with your profile picture!<\/p>\n<p>To make a photo private on Facebook, follow these steps. First, open the settings tab and choose &#8216;Private&#8217;. Then, click the privacy icon at the upper-right corner of the photo. From here, you can choose whether it should be private or not. You can then adjust the privacy to only yourself, or all of your Facebook friends or a list of people you create yourself. Once you have chosen the privacy settings, you can modify your photo.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Its_a_pain_to_change\"><\/span>It&#8217;s a pain to change<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve ever wanted to change your profile picture on Facebook, you&#8217;ve probably noticed that the upload window is a pain to use. But don&#8217;t worry: there are a few easy ways to change your profile picture in Facebook. After all, you&#8217;re on Facebook, and the last thing you want is to be embarrassed about your appearance. And if you do end up changing it anyway, at least you know you&#8217;re not the only one. You can edit any of your profile information, including your profile picture, so you&#8217;re able to make any changes you want.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Its_confusing\"><\/span>It&#8217;s confusing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There&#8217;s no doubt that Facebook has changed the way profile pictures look for a number of its users. While they used to be a large square, they&#8217;ve now shrunk to a circle of 132 pixels, making them inaccessible to all but the most sophisticated users. Additionally, Facebook&#8217;s system automatically crops any image to fit within this circle when displayed on the site. So, if you&#8217;re frustrated by the size of your profile picture, don&#8217;t worry. It&#8217;s still possible to change it to a smaller image if you want to.<\/p>\n<p>The first step in changing your profile picture in Facebook is to upload a new one. Facebook automatically crops your picture into a circle and rounds off its corners, leaving you with a square image of 40px by 40px. Then, you can edit your image by selecting &#8220;change profile picture&#8221; under &#8220;picture&#8221; in the left hand column. After selecting your photo, go to &#8220;Change Profile Picture.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Its_a_pain_to_hide\"><\/span>It&#8217;s a pain to hide<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve decided to change your profile picture but don&#8217;t want people to see it, there are a few steps you can take. To start with, your profile picture is public by default. That means anyone who clicks on it will see the full-sized version. However, if you&#8217;d like to change this setting, you need to change each individual profile picture and photo album individually.<\/p>\n<p>First, you need to know that the new profile picture upload window does not have a Skip Cropping option. Instead, Facebook has changed the settings so that the main profile picture is clickable by anyone. Previously, only strangers could see the 160-by-160-pixel version of your profile picture, and this was sufficient to tell if you were friends with your profile picture or not. It was an awkward situation, and you wanted to hide the profile picture.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"201\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4SSChBUZbY4\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"360\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Change Profile Picture in Facebook If you&#8217;ve ever wondered how to change your profile picture on Facebook, you&#8217;re not alone.
