# POST /account/update_profile_image.json

`POST /account/update_profile_image.json`

Updates the
authenticating user's profile image. Note that this method expects raw multipart data, not a URL to
an image. This method asynchronously processes the uploaded file before updating the user's profile
image URL. You can either update your local cache the next time you request the user's information,
or, at least 5 seconds after uploading the image, ask for the updated URL using GET
users/profile_image/:screen_name
(https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1/get/users/profile_image/:screen_name).
