Set your profile photo and name
Upload a profile photo (cropped to a square and compressed automatically) and change your display name in settings. Where they appear, the name rules, and how to change them in the Android app.
Your profile photo and name are how other people recognize you: member cards in study rooms, contacts in Messages and shared spaces all show them. The top bar of the website and Me in the mobile app use your photo too.
Change your photo
- Sign in, click your avatar in the top-right corner → Settings → Profile.
- In the Profile photo card, click Upload photo (Change photo if you already have one), or click the round photo itself.
- Pick a photo (JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 20 MB). Drag to position it, zoom with the scroll wheel, two fingers or the slider, and rotate by 90° if needed. The preview shows it in three sizes.
- Click the save button. The photo is cropped to a square and compressed to a few dozen KB on your device before upload; the original is never uploaded.
To go without a photo, click Remove and your initial is shown instead.
Change your name
Type a new name in the Nickname card and click Save.
- Up to 24 characters and it can't be empty; spaces at the ends and line breaks are removed.
- Other people see your name in study rooms, Messages and shared spaces, so it goes through a content check. If it contains words that aren't allowed, you'll be asked to pick another one and nothing is saved.
- You can change it up to 20 times an hour.
In the Android app
Open the app → Me → tap the account card at the top. The same Profile page opens and works the same way. Go back to Me and pull down to refresh to see your new photo and name.
Your personal page photo
Your personal page (/me) has its own photo and name, set while editing the page. When you first create it, it starts with your account photo.
Where to find the version number
The website doesn't show a version number. The app version is under Me → About → Version, and the browser extension's version is at the bottom of its settings. If you contact support, long-press Version in the app to copy the full details.
