A great personal touch to your profile is a portrait photo. For it to appear as its best, the recommended dimensions for the picture are 272 x 272 px.

By adhering to this guide, your portrait will blend in harmoniously with your profile. It is however, advisable to select a picture in which you are facing front and centre or looking toward the right hand side.

2. Can I use my company logo as a profile picture?

If you come from a studio or collective, and prefer to use a company logo as opposed to a single portrait, you can of course, choose to go down this path instead. Make sure that the lettering is legible and centred, and that the photo is good quality.

In addition, don't be afraid of white or negative space around the text. Make sure that the name of your company isn't too long, so that it displays correctly on smartphones and tablets.

4. How can I select my cover photo?

You can select any image from the projects you've already uploaded to homify to be your cover photo. Simply hover your mouse over your current cover photo and the option "Change cover" will appear.  Once clicked, you will be asked to choose which project you'd like to take the photo from. From here, you can choose the image you like best. You can also change your profile picture by hovering your mouse inside the circle.

If you are not happy with how the photo looks, don't stress - this is not a permanent or final choice! You can repeat this process until you find the image that not only looks best, but reflects your brand in the best possible light.
