Backgrounds for profile pictures

82 designs picked for this job, 11 free.

A profile picture is cropped to a circle and displayed tiny, so the background is reduced to little more than a colour. Choose a plain or softly graded backdrop that contrasts with your hair and clothing — anything detailed simply turns to mush at that size.
