How to change the profile picture on your Mac computer for a customized display

  • To change your profile picture on a Mac, go to System Preferences.
  • You can pick between photos stored on your Mac, a photo taken with Photo Booth, and system defaults.
  • The Mac photo selection screen also offers limited photo editing options.

Customizing your Mac, by doing things like changing your desktop background or profile picture, can be a fun way to make it feel more familiar and comfortable.

Here's every step you'll need to take to accomplish the task.
