Google’s made it relatively easy to change your Chrome avatar picture. If you don’t want to create your own avatar from scratch or aren’t interested in using a custom picture from your computer, you can choose one of the preloaded image options Chrome offers. You can do this from the settings menu, and while you’re at it, you should consider changing a few other settings to keep your browser safe and working its best.
Follow these steps to change your Chrome avatar using built-in options:
- Open the Chrome browser on your computer.
- Go to the top right-hand corner of the browser and click the three vertical dots.
- Select Settings from the drop-down list.
- From the Settings page, click Customize your Chrome profile under You and Google.
- Pick a theme color and an avatar of your liking.
Once you’ve completed these steps, there’s nothing more to do. The changes should take effect immediately; if not, try closing and reopening Chrome. While this is the easiest way to change your avatar, Chrome doesn’t offer many premade options. So, you might want to use an avatar maker to design your own. Many options are available in the Chrome Web store.
