Your profile picture is the first impression that new followers will get of both your profile and what you post on the app.
Whether used to showcase a logo, to present a great image of yourself, or to drive home a specific message or market that you operate in, your profile picture should be representative of you and the content that you want to create and share.
But how do you change your profile picture – and what makes a good profile picture for TikTok?
3 Steps to Change Your Profile Picture
- Head to your profile page on the TikTok app
- Click on ‘Edit Profile’ – the grey button underneath your image but above your bio
- Click on your profile photo circle in the ‘Edit Profile’ screen and then select ‘Change Avatar’ from the pop up menu
You will automatically be taken to your device camera roll to choose a new profile picture, or you can snap a photo using the camera button.
Once you’re happy, selecting the back arrow to exit the edit screen will save your new profile picture.
Tips to Choose a Great Profile Picture
Before we let you loose on your profile, a few tips on how to choose a great profile picture.
Your profile picture, as mentioned earlier, needs to be representative of you and your content. If you’re running a business account then a logo is the obvious choice – but if you want to appear personable and build a community of authentic and loyal followers, then a photo of yourself is the best choice.
As your profile picture is always presented in a circle format, make sure it compliments this shape and layout.
Finally, make sure that your profile picture is clear! There’s nothing worse than a blurry or pixelated photo – it makes your profile and content look amateur before you’ve even posted anything!
We hope this helps. Your profile picture is a great place to set the tone for your TikTok content, so be sure to keep it high in quality.
