Medium Profile Photo size at a glance
Medium profile photos appear as small circles next to your articles, in author bios, and in response threads. A 500×500 source keeps it sharp across all contexts.
Why 500×500 matters
Your profile photo is your byline visual. Regular Medium readers associate your face/logo with your writing, building audience loyalty.
What happens when the size is wrong
Low-res images look unprofessional next to polished articles. Non-square uploads get awkwardly cropped into a circle.
Best practices
- Use a professional headshot or clean logo.
- Center the subject with padding for the circular mask.
- Consider recognition at small sizes — Medium shows tiny avatars in response threads.
