Profile Portrait

We strongly recommend uploading a photo and making it a part of your profile for the following reasons:

  • It helps to make your profile more attractive.
  • It makes you stand out from profiles without pictures in search results.
  • It reassures buyers that they are working with a real person, encouraging the development of a good working relationship between the provider and the buyer.
Please note that independent providers can no longer upload logos in addition to their portraits. Only Provider Companies can add logos (in Team Admin).

You may change to your profile portrait at any time.

1. Go to My oDesk -> Profile & Settings -> User Info.




2. Press the Edit button in the 'User Information' box. More about changing the rest of your user account information.


3. Click the Upload link next to Portrait to add a picture to your profile.


4. Press the Save button at the top or bottom of the 'User Information' box to apply your changes.
