In this tutorial, we'll learn how to change your profile picture (also called PFP, or avatar) on Reddit.

To change your profile picture, follow the following steps:

1: go to Reddit and click on the circle with your current profile picture on the top-right corner to open your profile menu.

A dropdown menu with the options: View Profile, Edit Avatar, Contributor Program (0 gold earned), Dark Mode, Log Out, Advertise on Reddit, Settings, and Premium.
The profile dropdown menu on Reddit.

2: on the profile menu, you'll see the options like "View Profile" and "Edit Avatar." To edit your avatar, you need to click on "View Profile" then click on your avatar in your profile to go to your profile settings page. Alternatively, you can click on the option "Settings" in the profile menu, then select the "Profile" tab.. Or you can visit the URL below directly:

A page titled "Settings" with the tabs: Account, Profile (Selected), Privacy, Preferences, Notifications, Email. Section: "General." Options: Display name: changing your display name won't change your username. About description. Avatar: Edit your avatar or upload an image. Banner: Upload a profile background image. Social links.
The general profile settings on Reddit.

3: on the profile settings page, click on the option "Avatar: Edit your avatar or upload an image."

4: a dialog box will appear with the options "Select avatar" and "Select a new image." To select an avatar from your computer, click on "Select a new image."

5: click Save. Your avatar image will have changed.

Observation: if you upload an unsupported image format, like .ico, Reddit will silently fail.
