In this video, YouTube coach Nathan Eswine shows you how to change your YouTube profile picture in YouTube Studio and use Canva to edit, crop, and resize your image so it uploads correctly. If your YouTube profile picture is too big or you see the “4 MB or smaller” file-size message, this tutorial walks you through a free workaround using Canva.

You’ll learn how to update your YouTube profile picture, resize it to fit YouTube’s requirements, crop it for the circle profile image, publish the change, and understand why your new profile picture may take a little time to update across your channel, videos, and comments.

This is a simple step-by-step tutorial for creators who want to update their YouTube channel profile picture and make sure it looks clean everywhere on YouTube.

Our mission here at Think Media is to help purpose-driven entrepreneurs go full-time doing what they love and making an impact through the power of video.
