69 alternatives to the default Facebook profile picture

Mar 8, 2010 332 comments
If you have changed the default Facebook profile picture and uploaded your own, it’s fine. But if not, then why not replace that boring picture of the guy with a wisp of hair sticking out of his head with something different and funny?

Default Facebook silhouette is boring

Someone called David has created a bunch of alternative Facebook profile silhouettes - from Albert Einstein to Frankenstein, Batman to Darth Vader. These are free to use in your Facebook profile. Have fun!

Update: Inspired by David's work, I have created additional profile pictures which are being added regularly. Check back often for new pics.

Note: The profile images has been replaced by previews, since this page is making too many connections to Picasa's server. To download the entire set, click on the download link at the bottom.

Included in the collection is a large number of real, fictional and cartoon characters such as Alien, Audrey Hepburn, Bender, Betty Boop, Bob Marley, Chef, Cloud Strife, Cyberman, Darth Vader, Abraham Lincoln, Bart Simpson, Batman, Boba Fett, Buddha, Che, Clint Eastwood, Doc Brown, Einstein, Elvis, Fez, Frankenstein, Gandalf, George Washington, Gollum, Homer Simpson, Jabba the Hut, Jolly Roger, Kermit the frog, Legolas, Lisa Simpson, Lyle Beaker, Maggie Simpson, Marge Simpson, Michael Jackson, Mickey Mouse, Mr T, Pedobear, Pippy Longstocking, Ninja, Princes Leia, Sauron, Tom Servo, Yoda, Deadpool, Dilbert, Foghorn, Garfield, Godfather, Harley Quinn, Harry Potter, Hello Kitty, Hitler, Kim Possible, Lara Croft, Mario, Marlyn Monroe, Marvin, Max Payne, Optimus Prime, Pikachuy, Pink Panther, Predator, Samurai, Sherlock Holmes, Shrek, Sonic the Hedgehog, Spiderman, Spock, Spongebob Squarepants, Terminator, Tinkerbell, Toadstool, World Ward 2 soldier, Zackfair and many more.

Also included are general profile pics like guys and girls with headphone, flipping the bird, wearing hats, with different hairstyles like ponytails and braids, and plenty of different girl profiles.

On last count, there were more than 130 photos.

  1. @z55177, I didn't use your Sonic profile. That one was created by me. Yours was pretty jagged at the edges, so I had to create it myself. You can compare both the images and see the difference.

    In fact, I just noticed that both you and I used the same base picture to create the Sonic profile pic. That's not surprising since it's a popular image.

    You can create more profile pics if you want and I will be happy to upload them in your name. Just make sure the edges are smooth.

    I can understand, cutting a character out of an image can be tricky particularly when the image is a photograph. See the terminator profile pic for example, you can see some unevenness. In fact, I'm thinking about remaking that one when I get time. But cartoon characters should be fairly easy to do. The Sonic one took barley two minutes to make

  11. @Kaushik
    Oh. Nevermind then. I'll see what I can do about the jagedness, but I have a really cheap free version of a picture editor that I'm not really skilled at, hence the pic took about 15 mins of trying to figure out how to cut the char out and how to turn the inside of it white.

My late husband's favorite incarnation was Tom Baker-a long scarf and big curly hair might not be too hard to pull off. I'll have to get my daughter to teach me how to put these on my fb page. Have a nice day!!

Thank you for going through the trouble of making these. I've used Crow in the past, but I just changed mine to Kitty-chan (as we say in Japan for "Hello Kitty"). :)
