Change your profile picture

Updated 1 week ago by Rana Wilds

Your profile pic says a lot about you. In a sense, it's the face of your digital presence. All else being equal, it's better to like how your face looks. We can't help you change your physical face, but we can help you change your avatar. :)

There are two ways to spice up your avatar on Padlet. You can upload an image you want to use as your avatar or claim one of our homemade Little Monsters.

Disclaimer: Not affiliated with Lady Gaga but wouldn't mind a little ra-ra-ooh-la-la).

Avatars cannot be changed if you are part of a Padlet for Schools account and are assigned a Student role. You will need to reach out to the Owner (or someone with Admin permissions) to have your avatar updated.

Upload an image

Uploading an image of your avatar is slightly different depending on the platform you're using.

Using a browser

From your dashboard, click on your account name/avatar at the top-right corner of your screen. Click Settings and select Basic Info.
Next, click the current profile picture to upload a new one from your device. You can choose to upload an image, search the web, draw, use your camera or let AI draw one for you (using our AI image feature).

Using the app

From your dashboard, tap the three-dot ellipsis button (...) at the bottom-right of the screen (More).
Tap Settings > Basic info.
Next, tap your current profile picture to upload a new one.

Claim your Little Monster avatar

Little Monsters are automatically generated avatars for every registered Padleteer. New users are assigned a Little Monster upon registration. If you haven't claimed yours, click here: https://padlet.com/little-monsters while supplies last!

Just kidding, unlimited supply, I've just always wanted to say that.

Quick link: To get your own Little Monster avatar, insert /little-monsters after your domain in the address bar of your browser!

For padlet.org accounts, it will look something like this: meadowscollege.padlet.org/little-monsters

For padlet.com accounts, it will look like this: padlet.com/little-monsters

Avatars can be changed at any time and it only takes a couple of clicks! Happy selfie-ing!

Why can't I change my avatar?
