How to Decorate Your WhatsApp Profile Photo for Christmas

Although some more than others, it is almost impossible that the Christmas spirit does not invade us during the final stretch of each year. The streets are filled with lights, the supermarkets set up entire sections to fill them with nougats, polvorones and marzipans and on TV the advertisers of perfumes and sausages make (paradoxically) their August.

If you are one of those who lives Christmas so much that in April you are already buying lottery, surely you will love to decorate everything with motifs of these important dates. And when we say everything, we talk about decorating even your profiles in each and every one of the social networks and instant messaging applications.

WhatsApp Profile Photo for Christmas

Well, if you are thinking of giving a festive air to your WhatsApp profile, we recommend that you keep reading because we are going to tell you how you can decorate your profile picture with all the Christmas decorations that you can think of.

How to decorate your profile picture

Next, we are going to give you three options to decorate your profile photo with everything you can think of: reindeer, Santa Claus, snowflakes, little angels … You can do it from a mobile app, from a website and from Facebook .

With this website

The first of the options that we propose is to use the web fotoefectos , a site that offers you different ways to decorate the photo of your WhatsApp profile. The first thing you should do is choose from the large catalog that a Christmas frame offers. On the right side of the screen you have the entire list and in the first place of all you have the “Christmas postcards” section highlighted. Click on it to see all the available frames and choose the one you like the most. Keep in mind that your image will go where it says “your photo here”.

Once you are clear about which frame you want, click on it and another screen will open where you must click on “Upload my photo”. This will open the files on your phone, tablet or computer for you to select the image in question.

Choose it and indicate by checking the boxes if you want to add text, automatically adjust or add a filter. Once you have the settings ready, click “Next”. In this new window you can choose if you want to crop the photo and what part of it. When you finish, click on “Finish”.

Finally, the web allows you to add stickers to this photo with a frame (Christmas included) or to write something about it. If you think you already have it ready, you just have to click on “Download image”. Now you have it ready to upload as a WhatsApp profile photo.

With this app

If instead of a website you prefer to opt for a mobile app, we also have something for you. It is the Photolab application that is available for download on both Android and iOS. Once you have installed the application on your mobile you just have to open it, create an account and among all that it offers, choose a filter or a frame that is dedicated to Christmas.

When you have selected the one you want, you only have to choose an image on your mobile and the application will apply the corresponding edition. The last step is to click on the save button and it will be ready for you to upload it to your WhatsApp profile.

From Facebook

Another thing we can do to get a photo with a Christmas frame for free is to take advantage of Facebook frames and then reuse the image on WhatsApp. To do this, open Facebook on your computer or mobile device and click on your current profile photo to modify it. You will have to choose the option “Update profile photo”.

Next, choose the option “Add frame” and you will see how an editing menu opens with your photo and in the left column you will have all the available frames. It is possible that among the first you already see Christmas frames because we are on those dates and Facebook highlights them, but you can search for many more.

To search for frames, type in the search box located above the list of all the frames related words such as “Christmas”, “Santa Claus”, “Christmas” etc, and you will see how many frames appear. Click on them to apply them to your photo and see how they look. You can make your image smaller or larger within the frame by sliding the button with the minus and plus symbols on it. If you slide to the right the image will be larger and if you slide to the left, smaller.

Once your photo is to your liking, press “Save changes” and wait for it to be established as your Facebook profile photo.

Now that we have it, click on it again and among the options that appear click “View profile photo”. Your photo will open and from here you can download it. To do this, click on the photo with the right button of the mouse if you are on the computer and click on “Save photo” and click on the screen if you are on your mobile to save it.

Now that you have your Christmas photo exported from Facebook, you just have to open WhatsApp and change your profile photo to this new one. If you want to remove it from Facebook, just click on it again and among the options that appear click “Change to the previous photo.”

How to change your profile picture on WhatsApp

Now that we know how to make any photo Christmas, we are going to explain how to upload it to WhatsApp. You just have to open the messaging application and click on More options> Settings on Android or “Settings” on iOS. Now touch your profile picture and click on “Edit”. Choose “Select” photo to open the gallery of your phone where you have saved your Christmas photo that you just edited with any of the above options. Once you have it, adjust it so that it looks good and finally you just have to press “Select” to set it as an image.
