Profile photos show up everywhere on YouTube: comments, channel pages, suggested videos, and community posts. YouTube displays them as circles cropped from your square upload. At 800x800 pixels, your image stays crisp at every size. Upload anything smaller and it looks pixelated next to competitors.
