4. If cropping is OK, click the "Resize" button.

5. The new image appears, click on "Save". Save it under a new name so you do not overwrite the original image.

6. Use this image as an avatar photo.

If you do not have a suitable panoramic picture, you can crop it on standard format picture (4/3 or 16/9).

Here's how to proceed:

1. Go to the site convertimage.net.

2. Go to part 1: "Choose the output picture format :".

Click on the icon "JPG".

Here's an online method to do this:

1. Go to Compressor.io.

2. Click on "Select files" and choose the pictures you want to compress.

This is the panoramic image that appears at the top of your profile page.

It is on this image that your slogan is written if you have one.

The presentation image can represent a landscape that you like or that you know well, one of the activities that you propose on the site, etc.

If you have a panoramic image you can use it as is.

If you take a picture in a standard format (4/3, 16/9 or other), only a center strip will be displayed.

And if you want to crop a picture better, go to the question "How to crop your introduction panoramic picture?" of this FAQ.
