# Profile Picture

## What is a Profile Picture?

Your profile picture is your visual identity in Manor. It is used throughout your instance of Manor to identify you as a user. Until you upload a picture, Manor shows a circle with your initials instead.

## Opening the Profile Picture Page

1. In the top right corner, click your name or your avatar.
2. In the profile settings menu on the left, click **Profile picture**.
3. The **Profile picture** page opens and shows your current picture (or your initials if you have not uploaded one yet).

Manor displays this message at the top of the page:

> Your profile picture is used throughout this instance of Manor to identify you as a user. We value your privacy and do not share your profile picture with a third party.

## Uploading a Profile Picture

When you have no picture yet, the page shows the **Upload profile picture** button below your initials.

1. Click **Upload profile picture**.
2. Select an image file from your computer, for example a JPG or PNG.
3. Manor adds the picture and shows the **Crop profile picture** and **Delete profile picture** actions.

## Cropping Your Picture

After you upload an image, you can adjust the crop that is used for the small avatar.

1. Click **Crop profile picture** to open the crop view.
2. Drag the crop area and its handles to frame the part of the image you want to use.
3. Click **Crop profile picture** to apply the crop.

The cropped, square version is the picture used as your avatar throughout Manor.

**Tip:** Choose a clear, well-lit photo where your face is visible and easy to recognise, and remember that it is displayed as a small avatar.

## Changing Your Picture

To change your picture, upload a new image using the same steps as above and crop it again. The new picture replaces the old one.

## Deleting Your Picture

You can remove your profile picture yourself; you do not need to contact an administrator.

1. Open the **Profile picture** page.
2. Click **Delete profile picture**.
3. Confirm by clicking **Delete profile picture** in the confirmation dialog.

Manor explains that deleting your picture replaces it with your initials, and that you can upload a new one afterwards. After you delete it, the **Upload profile picture** button appears again.

## Where Your Profile Picture Appears

Your profile picture is shown:

- In the top navigation bar, next to your name.
- On your profile page.
