Problem uploading profile picture

Hi there,

I am trying to create a profile but am unable to upload a profile picture. I  have tried several, but having problems with uploading all pictures. Are you able to help with this?

Thank you.

Kind Regards,

Abi

Hi Abi,

 

Can 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 it meets those requirements and you still can't upload it then please try clearing your cache and cookies and using a different browser to check if the problem persists.

 

Thank you!

Hi Bojan,

 

Thank you for your help. I used a different browser and that worked. Much appreciated.

This is still a problem.  Maybe just fix it on your end, I cant complete my profile, I can't do anything because the face recognition software you have is awful

Hi Will,

 

I checked your account and it looks like you were able to successfully upload your profile photo. Could you please clear your cache and cookies or log in with another browser to check if it's showing on your end?

 

Let us know if the issue persists.

 

Thank you.

Apologies, but I am having the same issue. I have tried clearing my cache, stripping the EXIF data, changing the image size and type, to no avail. It clearly shows my face. Please let me know what else I can do. I've attached the image so you can see what it looks like.

Hi Llywelyn, 


I can see why there may be issues with uploading your photo. When uploading a profile photo to Upwork clear, headshot-style photos work best. Just the same, I'll share your account information with the team so that they can reach out to you and assist you with your concern.

What is 250px x 250px, and how to I determine my photo matches this criteria? Unfortuantely, I am not a graphic designer and have no idea what this means or how to find this out, much less ensure the picture meets this critera.  I am able to determine size, but this does not appear to be a mb or kb measurement.

Hi Jessica,

 

It looks like you were able to upload your profile photo. You can check this help article for the tips for choosing a great portrait photo.

Hi!

I also have the same problem where i cannot upload my profile picture. I have tried with different photos but none of them worked even though the photos only contain my face and nothing else. 

Is there a chance you can upload the image I have put below as my profile picture. 

Kind Regards.

Hi,

 

I have a profile image I wish to have on my account but it won't accept it because it can't detect my face. the photo clearly shows my face so I was wondering if you would be able to help me out?

Hi Aaron,

 

Can 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.

Hi,

The file is the correct size and format because it allows me to upload and crop the image but when I continue to add it says that it can’t find a face. I have also tried different browsers and cleared my cache but it still isn’t working.

Would you be able to override it and upload it to my profile as it meets the regulations?

Thanks

Thank you for following up, Aaron.

Hello, 

I'm having trouble uploading my profile picture. It says it can't detect my face though it clearly shows my face on a neutral background. I've tried using a different browser but it hasn't helped. Please let me know if someone can assist with this. 

 

Best, 

Kokie 

Hi Kokie,

 

Your profile picture should accurately reflect who you are, and it should look like you. It should be a close up image with a focus on your head and shoulders, and clearly show your full face. As you are having issues with uploading your image, could you please try clearing your cache and cookies or using a different browser? Let us know if the problem persists after trying that so that we can assist you further.

 

Thank you.
