As of January 2026, neither CapCut Web or CapCut Desktop (PC/Mac) supports changing your profile picture. This functionality is exclusively available on the CapCut Mobile App.
Below is a platform-by-platform clarification:
CapCut Desktop (Windows / macOS) – Not Supported
You'll notice that clicking the avatar only shows basic info (e.g., account name, "Sign Out") but no option to edit your profile picture.
Why?
The desktop version is optimized for creative workflows, not social or account features. Profile management—including avatars—is intentionally delegated to the mobile app, where user identity and community features are centralized.
📍 Workaround:
- Change your profile picture using the CapCut Mobile app.
- Once updated, restart CapCut Desktop or wait a few minutes—the new avatar will automatically appear in the desktop interface due to cloud syncing.
CapCut Mobile App (iOS / Android) – Supported
- Step 1: Open the CapCut app on your phone.
- Step 2: Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner of the home screen, locate personal settings.
- Step 3: In the personal settings, select the "Edit profile".
Step 4: Choose "Change Photo" → select from your gallery or take a new photo.
Step 5: Crop and confirm. Your profile picture will update instantly and sync across all devices linked to your account.
📍 Note: Mobile is the only official channel for managing your CapCut identity, including profile picture, display name, and account settings.
CapCut Online– Not Supported
- Although you can view your profile picture after logging in (top-right avatar),
- There is no "Edit" or "Upload" option for the profile image.
- You can see the prompt on the official website indicating that changing your profile picture can only be done via the mobile app.
📍 Note: Even if future updates add limited account controls, as of now, profile picture changes cannot be made on Web.
We appreciate your understanding as we continue to streamline roles across platforms: Mobile for identity, Desktop/Web for creation.
