Add a Canvas Profile Picture
There are three ways you can select a profile picture to use throughout Canvas:
-
Upload a Picture from your computer
-
Take a Picture using your computer's camera (not supported when using Safari or Internet Explorer)
-
Import from an existing Gravatar account (this feature may be restricted by your institution and only G-rated images are supported)
Tips for profile pictures:
- Choose an appropriate picture to represent yourself. EWU has the right to remove pictures that are not appropriate for a classroom setting.
- Images should be square in size to prevent your picture from being resized or distorted.
- Files can be any type (.jpg, .png, .gif) or size as long as you have room in your user files to store the file. Canvas recommends that your profile picture be as small as possible.
- Your personal files quota is enforced when uploading a profile picture. If you do not have enough storage space in your personal files, you will not be able to upload your profile picture. Create more space by removing some files in your personal files.
