Editing your Profile Picture

James
  • Updated

    You can add an image as your user avatar from Profile Settings.

    The maximum file size is 1 MB. We recommend JPEG format and at least 512×512 pixels. Other formats will be converted to JPEG, so transparent avatars will not work as expected.

      For our readers experiencing latency?

      Short answer:
      Be patient and wait eventually this will get added to your Sketchfab account, may take nearly 3-5 minutes when it feels like an eternity for the avatar to change

      Long answer:
      Back in 2017 I signed-up and today i've decided to change my avatar using the recommended 512x512 + JPG under 1MB and all i was getting is a spinner for nearly 5 minutes with a JPG = 48KB which feels like an eternity for the avatar to change

      Tried using a Mac BookPro running High Sierra and Apple iMac running Yosemite

      Google Chrome
      Version 67.0.3396.87 (Official Build) (64-bit)

      Firefox Quantum
      57.0.1 (64-bit)

      and then after writing this comment I see my updated avatar - woo hoo!

      Could be a number of things why this happened

      • The server is bogged down
      • Time of day
      • Cache on the server is backed up
      • Memory on the server
      • Traffic is high

      Your guess is as good as mine. For those experiencing latency all I can recommended is give the upload some time. If this didn't work for you add a comment and maybe someone has a different experience to share with the community!
