Add or change your profile photo

Whether you're a guest who reserved the perfect stay, experience or service, or a host welcoming guests, a clear and recognizable profile photo can help establish credibility and authenticity.

Guided photo capture helps you get your best profile photo

When selecting a profile photo, our guided photo capture experience will locate your face and give you AI-powered tips to help ensure it’s clear and visible.

Tips may include:

• Centering your head in the frame with auto-zoom
• Zooming in on yourself if your photo has multiple people in it
• Suggesting that you provide a photo where your face is facing the camera
• Letting you know if your photo is too blurry to use
• Recommending against adding a photo without you in it—like photos of landscapes or animals

These tips are optional—you can bypass the recommendations and add the photo of your choice, just make sure it meets the standards of our content policy.

Note: Additional photo requirements apply for co-hosts to be displayed on the Co-Host Network.

When photos are shared with hosts

While host photos are always visible on Airbnb, guest profile photos aren’t shown until after the host has accepted the reservation. Additionally, while a profile photo is recommended for all Airbnb users, it’s not mandatory for guests.
