Does anyone the pixel size of zoom profile pictures? The specs say 2mb, but how many pixels?

Best answer by jon

I have had the best luck with using 267 pixels by 267 pixels.

I'm trying to resize my profile picture. Can you tell me how to do that? What's a good size for a profile pic? Some people on this forum recommend 267x267 pixels. But how do I ensure that it will be smaller than 2M?

This warning when I want to change Profile Picture always confounds me: "Please select a jpg/jpeg, gif or png image file with size smaller than 2M to upload and crop an image to be your profile picture." Help! Thanks

I finally figured this out so posting it to help others. I clicked on the image I wanted to use and opened it fully. Then Right click on the mouse and choose Resize image. Then I changed the image to 80% height and 80% width and saved it as a new image, with new name and I closed it. Then I went back to my Zoom profile and uploaded it and it worked 🙂 Took bloomin ages to figure this out, so I thought I'd help others with this post.

I don't have right and left click with this iMac. I will have to find a "resize image" tool.

In an image editor application, create a new, blank image with dimensions of 267 x 267 pixels. Bring in your original image and resize it to fit within the workspace. Center the resized image at 133.5 (the center of 267 x 267) on the x-axis and y-axis. Export or save it as a PNG or JPEG file.

Hey, everyone.

I decided to play with some sizing and see what happens. First of all, always create it square if possible. Next, taking a small-format image (267x267) and expanding it to larger (1080x1080, for example), will create a grain appearance. If you have a larger format image and down-size it, that's less of a problem.

I created a 1080x1080 image (composed of a pencil drawing made by a friend of my son, and a professionally-made pseudo-signature), and it was only 780KB. Here's how it looks on-screen when I'm the only person in the meeting with a full screen view:
