Changing the profile picture to take advantage of any initiative that is trending is the most common thing we usually do on social networks. But in order not to repeat the same photo, Facebook has developed a tool that allows you to customize your own avatar without losing the essence. How? We explain it to you.
Personalized profile photos on social networks
Users, we have turned social networks like WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram or Twitter into the main source of information, both transmission and reception. And this has its positive and negative points.
That is why, and because of the time we spend on them, many of us personalize our profile picture on networks to support causes of many kinds: from avoiding catastrophes, announcing events or even making something known. The problem is that you have surely found several users with the same avatar while browsing any of these web pages. And, in the end, that confuses when navigating between user profiles.
Support a cause with your profile picture on Facebook
Facebook wants to avoid this without preventing us from using its service to support any movement and, therefore, it has developed a personalization section for our avatar . With this solution, we can continue to maintain our photography without having to become another user in a movement, thus avoiding becoming unrecognizable people. In addition, it is a perfect solution for those who do not master the use of editing applications such as Adobe Photoshop, since you will have many templates available created by other users.
For example, if within this tool you search as children, animals or the #QuedateEnCasa itself that is being used so much, you will find many options of people who have already developed their framework to promote the movement. Once the “model” that we want is chosen, we can adjust the design to our photography. It is also possible to select the time that this modification will remain in our profile before we return to the previous version, the original.
Now you will continue promulgating the message that is currently trending and, in addition, all those who want to locate you on Facebook will do it more easily.
How to create your own design
If you are one of those more creative users and you are wondering how you can develop your own quiet custom framework , the workers at Mark Zuckerberg have also published a section to upload your creations .
The operation is very simple. You have an interface in which you must load your own bet but, yes, following three guidelines:
- The template must have symmetrical dimensions (square).
- If you want everyone to see it correctly, you must respect the circular margin of Facebook avatars.
- The final extension of the file you upload must be .png for the background to be transparent.
Once the template is created, the instructions that this tool will give you are simple. Remember that both the template name and the keywords you use must be easily locatable terms, or if not, no one will ever be able to use your frame.
When you finish the process and Facebook analyzes your proposal, it will be available so that everyone can use it in their profile picture.
