SoundCloud recommends a square profile image of at least 800×800 pixels in JPG or PNG format, with a 2MB limit. Profile avatars display as circles, unlike square track and playlist artwork.
- •Upload a square JPG or PNG at 800×800px or larger, within the 2MB limit.
- •Center the subject so the circular avatar crop does not cut it off.
- •Check the image at small sizes, where fine lettering and thin lines may disappear.
What you need to know
SoundCloud recommends a square profile image of at least 800×800 pixels and caps the file at 2MB. JPG and PNG are the recommended formats. The larger square master helps the image remain sharp as SoundCloud displays it at different sizes.
Profile avatars display as circles to distinguish them from track and playlist artwork. SoundCloud does not publish a numeric inset for that crop, so keep a face, logo, or symbol centered and leave the square corners free of essential detail.
Profile images and headers are managed independently, so updating the avatar does not replace the wide header. Design both as a pair when the profile needs a consistent identity.
