Body

I just want to change my profile picture but can't. No matter what image I try I always got the same error message.

Also just noticed by topic it shows the image I wanted to change it to but in the right upper corner its still the old and if I click on my profile it still shows the old.

Hey @TheMarci, ensure your new profile picture is in either one of the following formats:

1. Png
2. Jpg
3. Gif

It must also be less than 1MB in size and less than 3000 pixels by 3000 pixels.

Once re-uploaded, it takes a while (usually a few minutes) before the new profile picture is in sync across the GitHub platform

For more info, you can refer to https://docs.github.com/en/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-github-profile/customizing-your-profile/personalizing-your-profile

Hope this answers your question 😃

Thanks for your help. I read the docs and resized the image to 500x500 and it worked.
