ACCEPTED SOLUTION

Obviously, on closing the account, your image will be deleted as profile doesn't exist.

Upwork always ask the user's to upload the clear image on which the bot can easily focus. So better to upload a clear image, otherwise, it won't work.

I have the same issue at the time of registration.

this umage have to be removed..

Hello, 

so as I understand it, the only way to remove the image is to close the account, right?

Thanks

You can replace your current photo with a different acceptable photo.

Hi Yaniv, 

 

Let Someone from UW answers & resolves this for you. 

 

Just keep in mind that if you Delete your profile you may not be able to create a profile again. 

 

Good Luck!

 

Oh why?

I also have an issue and I was considering deleting my profile and make a new one to resolve it.

Hi Mina,

 

I sent you a PM. Thanks!

If you want to have a freelance account on Upwork, then you are required to use a photo of yourself. It doesn't matter if you want to or not. It's a requirement.

re: "Please, answear me why I've recieve a message from an active account without profil picture if it's a requirement as you said."

 

What kind of message did you receive?
From who?

Upwork freelancers are required to have profile photos.

Not everybody who uses Upwork is a freelancer. Many Upwork users are not required to have profile photos.

 

Is it possible for there to be an active freelancer without a profile photo?
Yes, for historical and technical reasons that may be possible. But Upwork has algorithms which actively check freelancer profiles. And if a freelancer account is found without a profile photo, its access to the Upwork system will be limited or blocked until the photo is in place.
