Hello Michael,

 

To add a profile portrait, you may go to your Settings, select My Info and then in the Account area, kindly hover your mouse to the default profile photo and the click it. A window will pop up in your screen where you can upload your profile photo. Please see screenshot attached. Thank you!

It doesn't work for me either, unfortunately. I've tried all the fixes and a new browser. If anyone else has ideas, that would be great.

This is an issue for me too!

Hi Scott,

 

Are you having issues accessing the My Info section in Settings? Could you please try clearing your cache and cookies or logging in with a different browser to see if the issue persists?

 

Thanks!

All the admins keep posting the same fix here even though numerous users have said this doesn't work. It's the same for me. The image is not clickable on any browser with cleared cache and cookies. Can you suggest something else?

Hi Ronn,

 

We certainly understand why you're upset. However, it looks like you were able to get a hold of the team via a phone call and a support ticket has been set up as well. We highly suggest you continue coordinating with the team through the same ticket here so that they can assist you accordingly and more efficiently.

It doesn't work. 

Hi Helena,

 

Do you mean you're not able to add your profile picture? Could you please check if the image you're trying to upload is in .jpg, .jpeg, .gif, .png format and at least 250px by 250px? Also, make sure that it's a clear photo of yourself, not a long shot and your face is clearly visible. If you still can't upload it after checking that, then please try clearing your cache and cookies and using a different browser and see if the problem persists.

 

Thank you,

The image you are showing is not what we are seeing.

Please, why can’t I add my photo to my profile 

Hi Gideon,

 

Could you please try using a different browser or the incognito mode of your current browser? You may also try clearing your browser’s cache and cookies.

Hello Sherill,

 

Once you click add photo on your profile settings page, choose a file, adjust and drag the circle to crop the photo to your face then click Save. You can refer to this help article for more information.

 

Thank you.

Hello,


Thank you for the reply.


It worked in Safari but was still stuck on Firefox. It was not possible to click on the blank picture.


Anyway, solved now. Thanks again

Same here. Clicking on the profile info prompts name, email, password and security question editing, but no profile picture. Same in Firefox and Chrome.

When I do that either with the Account section or the Company section I get the attached window only.

Hello Anita,

 

Thank you for your message.

 

You may update those additional details to add extra layers of security to your account before you add a profile photo. If you continue to receive that windown, could you please try again after clearing Cookies and Cache on your browser? You can also try using a different browser. Feel free to message us if problems persist.

 

Thank you.

I had the same problem. The profile icon was not clickable until I added two-step security features to my account i.e. a new password and security questions. Once i did that, the profile image icon become clickable and I could upload a headshot. To get the image rightsixed for upwork 250 x 250 requrirement I used the following image converter site: https://convert-my-image.com/ImageConverter

My profile photo shows up fine in my freelancer section, but then when I go to my client section and to settings, it also shows that same picture, but the picture to me looks blank. I can't see anything in the client side.

Hi Jeff,

 

Please go to Settings > Company Details section of your client account and click the round image to add your company logo or a real photo of yourself. 

 

Thank you!

This whole thread cries for better service design. You are getting in the way of your own users with those stupid and needless security questions. I wonder how such a thing can exist on a big site like this. I haven't used a platform before where I had to Google for a solution to upload my picture. Also the company details could show the uploaded pic by default if the user doesn't want to upload a logo.
