# Update user profile image

`POST /users/{userId}/profileimage`

Uploads an image to the user profile.

Uploading a profile image differs from Adding an Image to a Cell in the
following ways:
  * A **Content-Length** header is not required
  * Allowable file types are limited to: gif, jpg, and png
  * Maximum file size is determined by the following rules:
      * If you have not defined a custom size and the image is larger than 1050 x 1050 pixels, Smartsheet scales the image down to 1050 x 1050
      * If you have defined a custom size, Smartsheet uses that as the file size max
  * If the image is not square, Smartsheet uses a solid color to pad the image
