Follow this three-step approach to change your profile picture on Rippling:

Step 1: Locate Your Profile Icon And Access Your Profile

  • Once logged in, locate your profile icon in the top right corner of the dashboard and select it to open a dropdown menu
  • From the dropdown options, click on ‘My Profile’. This will take you to your personal profile page where you can edit various details

Step 2: Upload Your New Profile Picture

  • On the profile page, click the three-dot menu (⋮) in the top right corner to access additional settings. Choose the ‘Change Profile Picture’ option to continue

Troubleshooting Common Issues

  • Missing 'Change Profile Picture' Option: Rippling’s configurable profiles allow admins to customize employee profiles to align with business needs. This means the ‘Change Profile Picture’ option might be moved, renamed, or hidden. Check under alternative tabs or dropdown menus or ask your admin if it's enabled
  • File Upload Errors: Ensure your image meets Rippling's requirements, such as supported format (JPEG, PNG) and file size limits. Resize and convert your image using an editor if needed
  • Changes Not Saving: If your new profile picture does not save, refresh the page and try again. Clear your browser cache or switch to another browser if the issue persisted
  • General Technical Issues: For platform glitches, such as freezing or failed uploads, try waiting a few minutes before retrying

On the whole, updating your profile picture on Rippling is a straightforward process. However, you might encounter some difficulties if you are unfamiliar with the Rippling interface, have trouble locating the profile setting, or find the instructions unclear.
