## FAQs
**What file types and sizes are allowed?**
JPG and PNG images up to 500Kb.

**How do I go back to just initials?**
Open the **Change Avatar** window, click **Remove avatar**, then **Save**. The person's initials show in place of a photo.

**Why isn't my image uploading?**
Check it's a .jpg or .png and under 500Kb. Larger files or other formats won't be accepted.

**Owners** and **Admins** can change any person's profile photo. **Managers** and **People Managers** can change the photo of people who report to them. **Content Managers**, **Instructors**, **Employees** and **Restricted** users can only change their own profile photo.
