Twitter profile pictures are the images that people will see not only on your profile, but also as thumbnail-size images next to each of your tweets. Since these pictures are so highly visible while using Twitter, users may want to change out pictures now and then, or upgrade to pictures that work better on the social networking site. Some users also like to change out profile pics according to the seasons, holidays, or special events.
This page will explain the process for adding or changing your profile image on Twitter. Or, if you choose to do so, these instructions will also help you to know how to delete your profile image altogether.
In order to add, change, or delete a profile picture, you must first be logged into your Twitter account. Whatever picture you would like to upload to your Twitter account should already be saved somewhere on your computer as either a jpeg, gif, or png formatted item.
