My profile pictures are always blurry.

As the title says, whenever I set a picture for my profile, it appears blurry/pixelated.

Is there any specific method I can use to make them clearer?

Sometimes if your profile picture isn't the right size, it won't look right. I would recommend a 500x500 pixel profile picture, because it's a square that fits and it's the biggest size you can use for a profile picture. If you drew it in the paint editor, save the image and use an image editor to make it 500x500 pixels. Also, make sure that the file size isn't over 512 kilobytes (KB). If you took an image from the Internet, edit that the same way you would with the paint editor.

I hope I helped.

I’m not exactly sure what I’m doing wrong, because this is the same thing I’ve been doing for a while and it hasn’t really been working.

Is the image a JPEG file? If so then I suggest making it a PNG, which tend to be higher quality.

Thankfully, I got it to work! Finally.

I think what I was doing wrong was that I had it slightly under 500 pixels (roughly 460x460) and that somehow made it look gross.

But hey, at least it’s better now, lol.

Thank you! I’ll be sure to use that method from now on.
