Netflix is a Streaming service where we pay on a subscription basis to get those services. It allows the paid member to watch TV shows and movies without commercials on their preferred internet-connected device.
When we subscribe to Netflix, we will have a unique username, pin, and profile that we can manage. They, by default, give you a smiley face profile picture when you first time purchase the service. Each user has a unique profile.
It allows you to change or modify your profile on their website. You can’t change your Profile on Netflix App, iOS, Android, Roku, or Xbox.
It allows us to change or modify our profile picture but only from the available list of icons, or we can use the characters of the shows/ movies available on Netflix.
In my research, I have found out that we can also customize Netflix profile pictures using the Chrome extension, but it only works on browsers where the extension is applied. This custom profile picture will not appear on other devices.
There are two ways to change your profile picture on Netflix; let’s learn them:

Step 4:
Click the edit icon on the lower-left corner of the profile. Then choose a profile icon screen that appears. You will see a row of classic icons offered by Netflix that you can use on your profile. You’ll also see rows associated with characters from some of the most popular Netflix shows, we can choose a character and set it as our profile picture.
Step 5:

Step:5
Select the Profile you need to change the shape for and click on the image. An upload box will appear where we can choose any custom image we want to use as our Profile. As shown, I have used my photo. We will select the image and click on open.
