Uploading and Editing Photos

Adding photos to your Roommates.com profile is entirely optional, but we highly recommend it, as it can increase your chances of connecting with the perfect roommate. As such, we make uploading, editing, and deleting photos a snap on Roommates.com!

When you first create your Roommates.com profile, you'll be prompted to upload a photo of yourself (which serves as your profile photo), as well as photos of your place (if you're offering a room as a "Have a Room" user). If you skip uploading photos while setting up your account, you're always free to upload photos at a later point using the procedure outlined below.

Uploading Photos

  1. Login to your account.
  2. Click on your circular profile picture on the top right-hand corner of your account.
  3. Choose "Profile" in the Notification Menu below. 
  4. Click the "Edit Profile" option that appears just below your profile picture. 
  5. Click on the "Photos" tab. 
  6. Click on the "+ Upload" button within whichever section you want to upload photos to.
  7. Select the photo you wish to upload, and click Save/Done.

Please noteRoommates.com accepts the following photo file types: .jpg, .jpeg, .gif, and .png. Additionally, photos must not exceed the following size parameters: 

  • Max image file size - 40MB
