I made this quick tutorial to show how to change your Netflix profile picture — perfect if you’re tired of the default avatars or want something more personal. Watch it here:

Netflix gives you a bunch of character icons to choose from, including popular series like Stranger Things, Bridgerton, and classic Netflix Originals. In the video, I show how to browse and change your icon in a few taps.

Here’s how:

  1. Open Netflix and go to Manage Profiles
  2. Click the pencil/edit icon on your profile
  3. Tap the profile picture, then scroll through options
  4. Choose one and save

If you’re on desktop, it’s the same process — just with a larger visual layout. Sadly, you can’t upload your own image (yet), but Netflix is always updating their collection.

It’s a small thing, but it makes the interface feel more customized — especially when multiple users share the account.

Do you go for fun characters or stick to the basics?
