Threads profile pictures are 320×320 pixels in a 1:1 square format, displayed as circles. By default, your Threads profile picture syncs with your Instagram account. You can set a different image for Threads, but any change on Instagram will also update Threads unless you've manually overridden it.
- •Upload at 320×320px minimum — Threads will display it as a circle at various sizes.
- •Your Threads profile picture syncs from Instagram by default — set it manually if you want them different.
- •Use a simple, high-contrast image that reads clearly at 32px (the smallest display size).
What you need to know
Your Threads profile picture is linked to your Instagram account by default — when you create a Threads account, it imports your Instagram profile picture automatically. If you change your Instagram profile picture, your Threads picture updates too. You can override this by manually setting a different image on Threads, but the Instagram-to-Threads sync is one-way.
The profile picture displays as a circle throughout the Threads app: next to your posts in the feed, in comment threads, in the follower/following lists, and on your profile page. Like Instagram, it appears at various sizes — from about 32px in comment threads to 80px+ on the profile page. Keep your design simple and high-contrast for readability at small sizes.
Upload at 320×320px minimum for the sharpest result. Higher resolution images are accepted but will be downscaled. Use PNG for logos or graphics with hard edges, and JPG for photographs.
