How do I update my avatar?
You can use any picture you've uploaded as your avatar by:
- Visiting the picture you wish to use as your avatar
- Selecting "Options" below the picture
- Selecting "Set as Avatar" (in a picture set, swipe to the picture you want and select "Set Current Picture As Avatar")
- Moving and resizing the square to choose which part of the picture shows as your avatar
- Selecting "Set as Avatar"
Your original picture won't be changed. Only your avatar uses the part you chose.
Setting a new picture as your avatar while uploading
- Visit the picture upload page here: https://fetlife.com/pictures/new
- Choose your picture
- Check "Use as Avatar" (if you're uploading more than one picture, check "Use selected picture as avatar" and tap the picture you want)
- Finish the upload as usual
- Move and resize the square to choose which part of the picture shows as your avatar
- Select "Set as Avatar"
Changing how your current avatar is cropped
- Open the picture that is your current avatar
- Select "Options" below the picture
- Select "Adjust Avatar Crop"
- Move and resize the square
- Select "Save Avatar"
If your avatar is part of a picture set, select "Set Current Picture As Avatar" on that picture instead to choose a new crop.
Good to know
- Your avatar is always visible to all FetLifers. If you choose a picture that is limited to friends or to friends and followers, its privacy changes to "FetLifers."
- Your avatar always shows first in your picture gallery, so it's easy to find from your profile.
- Avatars can't be scheduled or archived.
