Definition

What is an avatar? This is a unique picture posted on a public page. Community administrators choose the image themselves; it is used to uniquely identify the community.

A personalized image indicates the topic of the public, contains contact information, and advertising data. There are two types of this design:

A small vertical picture is an avatar;
You can make a horizontal avatar in a VKontakte group - it’s called a cover.

The attractiveness of avatar design is based on strict rules that are worth discussing.

Changing your profile photo

If we need to edit a page that already has a profile photo, the process is not much different.

We move the mouse cursor over the block with the photo, and in the window that appears, click on the “Update photo” link. The further process is similar to that discussed above.

But this is not the only editing option. We can add effects - to do this, in the menu for the avatar, select “Add effects”. The following tools are available to you:

Add stickers or emoticons.
Inserting text.
Drawing a picture.

Apply the desired effects and save the changes.

When working from a phone, you will not be able to add effects. But you can take an instant photo by selecting “Take a photo” from the menu.

Set with profile photo, photo from phone camera

Now take a photo and save your settings.

What is an avatar

The Odnoklassniki social network was created with the goal that every user could find his childhood friends, classmates or colleagues. It is enough to enter the real name and surname of this person in the search. But there may be many people on the network with the same data. You can find what you need using a photograph.

You place your image in your account on the main page. This is called an avatar. It is better to post a photo in which the face is clearly visible. This way, friends and colleagues will be able to find you faster.

According to the rules of use of the social network, it is prohibited to post other people’s photographs or pictures from the Internet on Avatrak. For such actions, the administration may block the account. But as practice shows, users often post pictures on their pages instead of real photos and do not get blocked.

How to make an avatar from a photo uploaded to an album

By the way, this method will work for any photo that you find on VKontakte.

Open the desired image to view. In our case, we go to the “Photos” section, then open the desired album and there we click on the photo we are interested in (see how to create a VKontakte album?).

Open the picture in viewing mode. Here we expand the “More” menu, and there we select the “Set as profile photo” item. Then select the area for the main image and thumbnail. Save the changes.

But this trick won’t work from a phone. There simply isn't the right item on the menu.

Therefore, if you have found a suitable image and opened it for viewing, select “Save” from the menu. The file will be downloaded to your phone's memory card. Now you can set this photo to your avatar using the first method from this instruction.
