### <center>How to change the Steemit Profile Picture? </center>
<i> <b>This is probably going to help only the beginers, but if you are here on Steemit community for sometime then please feel free to comment and give me your insights. </b></i>

As I was changing my <b><i>Steemit profile and cover picture</i></b>, I got the very weird looking profile and cover.
![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmf94r8eH4msUKMJyQxDbaPbuVJ9417ptSGCeyd5La7bsR/image.png)

I was very surprised to see that even after pasting the image URL why I was getting those weird profile and cover pictures.
Suddenly after few seconds, I noticed that I was actually copying the image address from the address bar, but not the image address.

I guess it was my <b><i>Steemit Excitment</i></b>.  I am not sure if you have made the similar mistakes before or not, but I hope I am not the only one. :p

There are few things that I noticed while setting up the profile and cover picture which I would like to share with you today, so you could save some time. 

<i><b>So</b></i>

## <b><i>What's the size of Steemit profile picture?</i></b>
Since Steemit can change the profile picture dimensions at any time, I would like to show you how you can find out yourself if you ever need to change, update or add it for the first time. <b>Note: </b> <i>This will work even if you are reading this post after a couple years from now :=) </i>
</i>
```sh
You will need Google Chrome Browser or Firefox Browser to perform this.
```
### Right click on the Steemit profile picture and Click on the Inspect or the Inspect Element. 
![What's the size of Steemit profile picture?](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWXLEEBufSuRskqZk5A6HAw7uVrD9siMnHRbnLaL1pLTC/image.png)

You should see something like this. Click on the Computed or Layout on the right side after you see this.

#### And there you go, That's your <b><i> size of the Steemit profile picture / image </i></b>
##### Let's repeat the same steps with the cover image. 

Right click on the cover image and click on inspect element.

You can use PhotoScape X if you want to edit offline. ( It has free features which are all we need) to crop and resize your image.) 
![How to crop and resize the image for Steemit? ](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYrxazDREncsooZJ37X3rz1dbBSqka6SuPbPFHF1dfq8K/image.png)
<b> OR </b>
You can use Canava to edit your image online.
![How to use Steemit?](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdmcSnoALSFwZr5GEephsCigrc5bsUuVoN8dejFLCs2g7/image.png)

Once you are done editing your images. Go to Setting.

<b> LIke this</b>
![Steemit Setting](https://steemitimages.com/DQmUSXUWGtvTsdRXYfmpHX4LQFcBUjkgYaQxKnpUWzLeBgn/image.png)

<b> or Like that</b>

Then you will get here :

Now, We need to get the Image Address, not from the image bar like I did once upon a time. :P
You can find your picture online then right click on it and Copy Image Address 
![How to find Image Address?](https://steemitimages.com/DQmbeKGRga7ArYPbuKNiFrmmdHdRJppTREuaCusH9v7mnQy/image.png)
 
Paste on the Profile Picture URL box on the setting and Hit Update to see how it looks.

Since this is exactly what I wanted I will repeat the same for the cover image.
![How to change the Steemit profile picture? ](https://steemitimages.com/DQmbKxF8ggmVM83vHH5YT5ihBgyooJqz3PJjgiCpnz11yVY/image.png)

Since I edited my cover image from Canva, I can directly copy the image address from there as well. 
![How to copy image address from Canva?](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSmYfAAgNbGAxy6yoKTjQdktb8vyzvTavYxNLY1MSUeGg/image.png)
Come to the Setting, Paste it and HIT that Update Button.

I know this cover image is not that good, but I am okay with it for now until I design something that I really like. 
# Quick Set Up Tips: 
You can google some solid color for the cover image and use it as well.
