## Profile picture

You can upload, change, remove, or download your current profile picture from the Profile Widget.

Square images work best because profile pictures are displayed in a square format.

<Note>
  **Built-in profile picture cropping is coming soon.** This will make it easier to adjust non-square images directly in the editor.
</Note>

You can also enable **Use banner as profile picture** to display your banner image in place of a separate profile picture.
