Profile Name Conditions

Your name and initial of your last name will be used instead of your username in public areas, for example the Freelancer directory.

Profile Logo

Your profile picture should be a high quality profile image of yourself. The recommended resolution is 280x280 pixels and the maximum file size is 2MB.

Profile Summary

The summary should include a brief introduction of yourself, your skills and qualifications, and what you can offer or guarantee to potential clients for projects you’d like to complete.

You can personalize your profile page by using a cover photo that complements your personal style. This can added only by users who are on a paid membership plan. The cover picture must be between 1920 and 3840 pixels, with a height of at least 550 pixels.
