This guide is for any signed-in user, viewer or creator. You add a profile photo, set the Display Name shown on your comments, claim or change your @handle, and optionally store a private first and last name. You end with a saved profile and a public URL at /@yourhandle.
Click the account menu at the top right and choose Account. You land on the Profile tab at /account/profile. The rail on the left also lists Login & Security, Privacy & Data, Payments & Support, and Notifications. Under the Account title a line shows who you are signed in as, with your name and handle, and a badge at the right of the Profile heading shows your role, Viewer or Creator.
The card holds the photo uploader, Display Name, First name, Last name, @handle, and a Save changes button that stays inactive until something changes.
Click Upload photo and pick a file. The helper text next to the buttons states the limits: JPEG, PNG or WebP, up to 5 MB. The upload saves on its own; there is no separate save for photos. When it finishes, the picture replaces the initials placeholder and the green Profile updated line appears under the form. Remove photo takes you back to the initials.
A file of the wrong type, or one over 5 MB, is refused with an inline message and nothing changes.
Display Name is public. The helper under it says so and reminds you that it appears on your comments and profile; the counter on the right shows how many of the 50 characters you have used.
First name and Last name are private. They are never shown on any public page.
@handle is your public address. Type it in lowercase. While you type, the field shows Checking availability… and then Available in green, or tells you that the handle is taken, reserved, or breaks the format rule. The line under the field previews the result as Your public profile URL: followed by /@yourhandle. If you skipped the handle at sign-up, the line reads Pick a handle to claim your public profile URL. and the field is prefilled with a suggestion from your email address; edit it or keep it.
A new handle raises a warning box, Your public profile URL will change, before you save. It explains that the handle will resolve at the new address and relabel your comment attributions once saved. Links to the old address stop working after the save.
Click Save changes. The button reads Saving… while the request runs. The green Profile updated line appears under the button, the handle indicator clears, and the new handle is live at /@yourhandle. The account menu at the top right shows it right away.
If the handle was taken between the check and the save, the form tells you and keeps your edits; pick another and save again. If the save fails for another reason, a message asks you to try again and nothing is lost.
/dashboard/profile. It adds a hero banner, a bio, an about section, tags, social links, and featured work. The hero banner is not on the Account page. The photo is shared: the same picture is used on the Account tab and on the public profile. See Become a creator and get verified.
