## Profile Picture

The business profile picture is set with [Update User](/docs/apis/user/update-user) via
`profilePictureUrl` and returned by
[WhatsApp Business Profile](/docs/apis/user/whatsapp-profile) as `profile_picture_url`.

<ul class="custom-bullets">
  <li>Supported formats: JPEG and PNG.</li>
  <li>Max file size: 5 MB.</li>
  <li>The image must be square.</li>
  <li>Minimum dimensions: 192 px x 192 px.</li>

  <li>
    Maximum dimensions: none — a larger image is accepted and scaled down by WhatsApp, which
    stores a 640 px maximum edge.
  </li>

  <li>Recommended dimensions: 640 px x 640 px.</li>
</ul>

An image that is not square, is below 192 px x 192 px, is over 5 MB, or is not a JPEG or PNG
is rejected with a `400` naming the problem, before anything is sent to WhatsApp.

<Tip>
  WhatsApp displays the profile picture cropped to a circle, so keep important content — a logo,
  a face — centered and out of the corners.
</Tip>

<Warning>
  A PNG with a transparent background is rendered by WhatsApp with a black background. Flatten
  the image onto a solid background before uploading if that is not what you want.
</Warning>
