If you want to put a bright flashing picture there then better not do it. 🙂

Hello Hassan, I am facing the same issue. I have seen that some freelancers have uploaded GIFs, but when I try to upload one, Upwork rejects it.

Wow. Good to know. Finally Upwork banned those flashy GIF images as profile picture?

Hello Hassan and everyone,

I want to clarify that we do not currently support files with .gif extensions. The file you are trying to upload must have either a .jpeg or .png extension. Please see this article for some best practices when choosing a profile photo.

Some freelancers have a GIF profile picture and why I not?
