- To change your profile picture on Microsoft Edge, open profile settings, choose “Edit,” click “Change picture,” click the “Change photo” option in your Microsoft account, and upload the new image.
UPDATED 1/8/2024: On Microsoft Edge, you can change the profile picture in two ways, and in this guide, you will learn the steps to complete this configuration. On the default browser for Windows 11 or 10, there are two ways to create a profile. You can create a profile using a local account or set up a profile with a Microsoft account, which is the preferred method if you want to synchronize settings and data across devices.
However, depending on the method, the profile will get a default image. If you use a local account, then you will get a generic icon, and if you use a Microsoft account, then your account picture will appear in the profile. If you prefer to see a different image, you can use the Microsoft Edge profile settings to change it.
In this guide, I will teach you the steps to change the picture of your Microsoft Edge profile.
Change profile picture on Microsoft Edge
To change the profile picture on Microsoft Edge, use these steps:
-
Open Microsoft Edge.

Click the Settings and More (three-dotted) button on the top-right corner.
-
Select the Settings option.
-
Click on Profiles.
-
Open the Settings (three dots) menu and click the Edit option.
-
Change the Change picture option.
Quick note: If you’re not using a Microsoft account in the browser, select the icon you want to use and click the Update button. -
Click the Change photo button.
Quick note: If you don’t want to have any in your profile, click the “Remove photo” option. -
Select the new image to apply to the profile.
-
Click the Open button.

Click the Save button.
Once you complete the steps, the profile image will be reflected across the Microsoft Edge browser. If you’re using a Microsoft account, then the new picture will be available across all your devices and services connected to the account. If you want to create multiple profiles, use these steps.
