How to Change PFP on Xbox App? Detailed Guide

How To Change PFP On Xbox App

If you wish to customize your Xbox spaces, we’re showcasing how to change PFP on Xbox App. Sadly, the app is limited in customizing your image, so the process requires using the console.

The Xbox Windows has a set of default images you can use as profile pictures. Yet, you can select your own in various ways. Regardless of the method you choose, you need to accomplish various requisites for the task:

  • You must have the latest version of the Xbox App
  • You must be at least 18 years old
  • The profile picture must be at least 1080×1080
  • The file formats the Xbox supports are .jpg, .png, or .bmp.
  • You must agree to the Terms of Use for Xbox, Microsoft Service Agreement, and the Code of Conduct. If the company finds the images inappropriate, Microsoft could remove your PFP or ban your account. 

How to Change PFP on Xbox App?

change PFP on Xbox App

There’re various ways of changing the Xbox App profile picture. However, the app’s options are limited, so we’re looking for external ways to do it.

When you change the picture through the Xbox console, you’ll see the result on the app as well. It happens because you’re changing the Xbox account profile picture itself.

So, in essence, here’re the two ways to change PFP on Xbox app:

  • The Xbox app has built-in pictures you can use on your profile, which are preset avatars. Currently, the app doesn’t offer the choice of uploading an image from the gallery, although it did before.
  • Alternatively, you can use a custom Gamertag, but you can only select it through the Xbox console. You can either upload an image with a USB drive or find an image with the Edge browser (or Bing). There were additional ways of customizing your Xbox PFP, but, currently, these are the only reliable methods.

The Xbox Gamerpic will represent your account across Xbox Live services, including any app or console you use with your account. That also includes your profile, in-game profiles, and the Xbox app.

Consider customizing your Gamerpic with an external photo editor like Adobe Photoshop. That would require uploading the image to the Xbox with a USB drive or a USB cable with your phone.

Let’s see each method, step by step:

Changing Your PFP Through the Xbox App

Here’re the steps to change the Gamertag through the app:

  1. On your PC, open the Xbox App
  2. Click on your profile picture at the top left xbox app change profile picture

Select a Custom Avatar Through the Xbox via the Edge Browser

If you want a custom avatar, you’d have to use the Xbox console. Moreover, you’d need to use the Edge browser to find and choose an image, like selecting a background Xbox wallpaper.

Upload a Custom Image to the Xbox

The next option includes a bit more steps. You would have to browse for an image on your PC, save it on a USB drive, and then plug the drive into your console to use the picture.

Here’re the steps:

  1. Plug a USB drive into your console.
  2. Browse for an image you like on your browser.
  3. Save the image on your USB drive. It should be a supported file format.
  4. Plug the drive on the console.

The changes you make here will appear on the Xbox app. However, the Xbox may fail to upload the image if it’s too small or large. Remember: use 1080×1080 images.
