For those new to Steemit & interested to update their Profile Image may find that you're having a hard time using services like Imgbb, Imgur or existing HTTPS Image Hosting services

I see many of you complaining that there seems to be an issue when it comes loading the Profile image or not having image load after saving Settings

If you've tried changing your profile picture, and it still doesn't seem to work after uploading it via multiple third-party hosting services. Don't panic and stress out, as this guide will show you the fastest method to get your Profile Image up on Steemit.

You don't have to spend time by learning through trial & error because I'll show you the exact type of Link to look for via preferred third-party hosting service that will be recognized by Steemit 😎

STEP 1 - Use PostImage.com Image Hosting Service

Go to PostImage.com, this is a free image hosting service that allows you to instantly upload your Steemit Profile Image without having to go through the hassle of signing up for an Account. In fact, you can just ''Drag & Drop'' your desired Image onto the main menu to upload it

STEP 2 - Selecting the Link for the Profile Image Setting

Once upload, just Copy the second link available to you which is also titled as "Direct Link". The Format of this Link allows Steemit.com to recognize it, so you don't end up with a loading Image or get an error when saving Settings. The problem that many of you make is not using a specific Link format, that Steemit.com recognizes

STEP 3 - Set your Profile Image via Steemit Settings

From the previous STEP 2, once you have copied the ''Direct Link'' just paste that link to ''Profile Picture URL'' found at the ''Steemit Setting'' page and proceed by clicking on the Save button. Now, just refresh your Browser and Steemit.com will display your image once loaded.

You now know, how to quickly set-up & change your Steemit Profile Image! Use the ''Direct Link'' provided by PostImage as the preferred Image Hosting Service! I hope, that this guide saves you time and effort to sort out your Profile Image so you don't speed more time posting random links, wondering why your Display Picture doesn't update or loads in the first place
