Profile settings - change your name and photo
Your profile is what teammates see next to your tasks and comments: a name and a photo. You can change both in a minute. Your email is shown too, but it is read-only.
At a glance
| What it is | Your name, email and avatar |
| Where to find it | Avatar > Settings > Account & Personal > Profile |
| Who can use it | Everyone |
| Plan | All plans |
How do you change your name?
- Open Settings > Profile.
- Edit the Name field.
- Click Save Changes. The button reads Save until you change the name.
| Rule | Detail |
|---|---|
| Required | You cannot leave it empty |
| Minimum | 2 characters |
| Maximum | 50 characters |
If the name matches the saved one, clicking the button does nothing.
How do you upload a profile photo?
- Click the dashed square. It says + Upload when you have no photo.
- Pick a PNG, JPG or JPEG file.
- In the Crop Profile Picture window, drag and zoom until the framing looks right, then confirm.
The photo saves as soon as you confirm the crop. You do not need to click Save. Your new avatar replaces the old one in the navbar straight away.
How do you remove your photo?
- Click Remove photo. It is red and appears only when you have a photo.
- In Remove profile picture?, click Remove.
Worklenz then shows your initials instead.
Why can’t you change your email here?
The Email field is greyed out. This page has no way to edit it, and there are no fields for job title, phone or bio. If your email must change, contact support.
The grey footer shows Joined and Last updated dates. Hover over them to see the full date and time.
Best practices
- Use a clear, face-forward photo, because your avatar appears on tasks and comments and small images get tiny.
- Crop tightly before you confirm, since the cropped image is what must fit under 200 KB.
- Use your real name, since teammates search and assign by name and your email cannot be edited here.
