Institution prepares profile photos with a centered square crop and displays the result in a circular avatar. A wide image can lose content near its edges, even when the original file meets the size limit.
Choose an image with the face or other intended subject near the center. If needed, make a square copy in an image editor, leaving enough space around the subject for the circular display. Upload that copy from Profile settings.
Check the result after Profile photo updated. The same image can appear at smaller sizes in messages and team lists, so fine text and detailed logos may be difficult to read. Keep the photo simple enough to remain recognizable in a small avatar.
If the crop is unsuitable, use Change photo with a newly prepared image. Removing the photo is also available if you prefer the account’s initials. A profile photo is personal to the account; company branding belongs in the relevant company logo control. Do not include confidential document text in an avatar merely because it is hard to read at the small display size.
