If you share a Netflix account with household family members or friends, using distinctive profile images can help each user quickly identify their own profile. Changing your Netflix profile picture is also a fun way to present your favorite shows, movies, and characters, or add a fresh touch to your Netflix experience.

Netflix offers a vast selection of profile icons for you to choose from. These Netflix-approved avatars include characters from popular Netflix originals like The Crown, Stranger Things, Squid Game, and The Witcher, as well as adorable characters from Sonic Prime and Gabby’s Dollhouse for kid profiles.

However, Netflix does not currently allow users to customize their profile images. If you want to personalize your viewing experience with a custom profile picture, you’ll need the assistance of browser extensions.

In this article, we’ll guide you through the process of changing your Netflix profile picture within the Netflix avatar library, both on your phone and desktop. Additionally, we’ll show you how to set a customized profile image using Chrome extensions.

How to Custom Profile Picture for Netflix

While you cannot directly upload your own image as your profile avatar on Netflix, there are several Chrome extensions that can help you set up a custom Netflix profile picture.

Before you proceed, please keep in mind that these Chrome extensions are not developed by Netflix but by independent developers. Profile pictures customized by these extensions will only show up on your browser and are NOT synced to your Netflix account. As a result, when you sign into your Netflix account on another device such as your phone, you cannot see the customized profile picture on it.

Here are the steps to customize your Netflix profile picture with the Chrome extension.

Step 1. Visit the Custom Profile Photo for Netflix extension page on the Chrome Web Store. Click the Add to Chrome button and the Add extension button to start the installation of the extension.

Step 2. After installation, click the Custom Profile Photo for the Netflix extension icon.

If you don’t see the icon, click the Extension button on your Chrome and select the little pin next to the extension. The extension icon will show on the top right of your browser.

Step 3. Select the profile you want to change the profile picture. Click the Select Image button and upload your picture. You can see the profile picture has changed to your customized image.

How to Download Netflix Movies and Shows to MP4?

Netflix allows users to download TV shows and movies through the Netflix app. However, the downloads can only be played within the app, and once a subscription is canceled, these downloaded titles become inaccessible.

With Pazu Netflix Video Downloader, you can easily transfer the downloaded files to any compatible device of your choice. This means that even after canceling a Netflix subscription, you can still access and watch your favorite Netflix titles offline.
