How to Delete / Remove Profile Picture on Pinterest (Simple)
If you’re looking to remove or delete your profile picture on Pinterest, you may have noticed that there isn’t a direct option to do so. However, there is a simple workaround to achieve the same effect. In this video, you’ll learn how to replace your profile picture with a default image that makes it appear as if it has been removed.
To start, open the Pinterest app and go to your profile by tapping on the profile icon at the bottom right of the screen. Tap on your profile picture, and you’ll see options to "Change Profile Picture" or "Download Pin Code." However, Pinterest does not provide a direct "Delete" option. The trick to removing your profile picture is to replace it with a default image, such as an initial-based avatar.
If you want your profile to look like it has no picture, you can search online for a default avatar with your first initial. For example, if your name starts with "B," you can search "B initial default profile picture" and download a simple image. Once you have the image, return to Pinterest, tap on "Change Profile Picture," and upload the downloaded default avatar. This will make it appear as if you no longer have a custom profile picture.
While this isn’t an official deletion, it effectively removes any personal image from your profile. If Pinterest ever adds an option to remove profile pictures directly, you may be able to delete it instead of replacing it.
