- Go to your profile
- Click on the default profile image on the left-hand side
- Choose a photo from Google's image search of your name or click the Upload new photo button to upload one yourself

Note: Images must be at least 180x180 pixels and no larger than 4MB. We support *.jpg, *.jpeg, *.gif, or *.png, and we suggest you use a photo that will fit inside the square.
Don’t forget: As ResearchGate is a professional network your profile photo and account should reflect this. Please don’t add a photo of anyone (or anything) else.
