First, sign in to your YouTube account and click on the profile icon. Then, choose the My Channel menu, and then click on Customize channel. Click the pencil icon. Then, select the option to Upload a new profile photo. Once you&#8217;ve completed this step, you can upload your new picture. If you don&#8217;t have an image, you can use the Placeit profile picture template.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Placeit_profile_picture_templates\"><\/span>Placeit profile picture templates<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re in the business of baking organic bread, or selling artisanal cheese, you may be interested in Placeit&#8217;s YouTube profile picture templates. Not only do these templates make it easier to create an attractive image on your profile page, but you can also upload your own logo and brand colours. Placeit&#8217;s website includes more than 50 different templates for your profile picture. All you need to do is select the one that best represents your business and you&#8217;re ready to go.<\/p>\n<p>Placeit&#8217;s profile picture templates are available for free, and all of them can be customized to fit your YouTube channel. You can choose from a wide selection of sizes and styles, and even upload your own custom logo. You can also resize an existing picture to fit the YouTube profile picture template. You can even crop an existing image and upload it as your profile picture. The best part is that these templates are 100% customizable and come with helpful tips.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTube_profile_picture_size\"><\/span>YouTube profile picture size<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve ever wanted to change the size of your YouTube profile picture, you can do so by following these simple steps. YouTube uses an 800&#215;800 pixel format for profile pictures, similar to Instagram and Twitch. If your picture is larger than this, YouTube will crop the image in a circular fashion so that it is not visible in the corners. To ensure that your picture is visible in a circle, make sure that you have an image with the correct proportions.<\/p>\n<p>You can also crop your image using the Crop tool in PicMonkey. To crop an image to the proper size, simply open it in PicMonkey and select Edits &gt; Crop Canvas. In the Crop Canvas window, select YouTube Channel Icon and position the crop frame. Click Apply and your image will be cropped to the proper size. Alternatively, you can use a software such as Pixelied. Alternatively, you can go to the site of the company and use their crop tool to edit the size of your image.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Making_a_nice_profile_picture\"><\/span>Making a nice profile picture<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to make a YouTube profile, you must make sure that your picture is not too small. It should be a large display icon as this will make the picture appear smaller on small devices. You can use a simple template to make a profile picture. If your profile picture is too small, you can crop it before uploading it. If you&#8217;re not sure how to crop a profile picture on YouTube, use a free online tool to help you.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure your profile picture is 800 x 800 pixels. This is the same size as those on Twitch and Instagram. You can easily edit the size and color by using a free profile picture maker. You can also customize the YouTube icon if you want to. If you&#8217;re a beginner, you can use Wondershare PixStudio to create a profile picture. However, be aware that you must have a good quality image.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changing_your_name_and_profile_picture_on_YouTube\"><\/span>Changing your name and profile picture on YouTube<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re sick of your current YouTube profile picture, you can change it. This is possible on mobile devices and desktop computers. To change your name, open the YouTube app on your device and tap on the &#8220;profile picture&#8221; section. From here, you can change your name, click the &#8220;edit&#8221; button, and then enter the updated name. Then, tap &#8220;OK&#8221; to save your new picture. Your new picture will now be visible to everyone.<\/p>\n<p>Changing your name and profile picture on YouTube has been made easier with the introduction of the YouTube Studio. Instead of changing the entire Google account, creators can now change their name and profile picture inside YouTube. While this is still not completely ideal, it is much better than the previous system, which forced creators to change the name icon on their Gmail account. Also, YouTube creators may want to send emails under their actual name.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" width=\"402\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/R9wgisIOgH4\" height=\"225\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Change Your Profile Picture on YouTube If you want to change your profile picture on YouTube, here&#8217;s how to do it.
