My pfp will not change! I have the standard 500 by 500, I even tried stuff like, 399 by 399. And I wasnt taking up so many pixels either! Plz help with this.
Also please tell me if Im using this discussion thingy right. Any ideas to why my pfp wont change? Ty for the help if you do comment!!

Keep in mind that there's a max of 512 KB

is it under 512 kb? is it a png or jpg or gif or jpeg? is it under 500 pixels?

edit: had to change my wording

Try compressing the image with tinypng.

Is that website safe?

Scratch's costume size is always half of what it will be before exporting, if that makes sense. So, you'll have to limit yourself to 250x250 editor pixels. I would recommend exactly 180x180 (90x90 in the editor) as the website shows images at 32x32 for the account dropdown and 60x60 or 90x90 everywhere else, as far as I know, and never shows images above 90x90, as far as I know. Making a 180x180 perfectly resizes to the sizes that you see most commonly around the website.

What I do is make a PFP that is 180x180 in the editor so it's 360x360, and then I use the Paint app (the one built into Windows, but also not Paint 3D, just good ol' Paint) and scale it down to 180x180 (because 1 editor pixel turns into 2 when exported).

Just try checking the size of the resulting picture (the one you're trying to upload) and see if the dimensions are under 500x500. If that's the case, you should be good to go… hopefully.
