A Beginners Guide to Customizing Your Profile
Learn easy ways to customize your profile!
Do you want to customize your profile on DeviantArt? Whether you’re trying to personalize your space for the first time or have been decorating your profile for years, here are some tips and tricks to make your profile feel like home.
Theme Is Everything
To start personalizing your Profile, first come up with an idea for the overall vibe you want it to have. This can range from simply selecting a color palette based on colors you like (or artwork in your Gallery) to deciding what backgrounds you want to use to add interesting elements to your Profile. Go with whatever suits your vision!
How to Customize
Add a Cover Image
Adding a Profile cover image is a great starting point for all deviants, and it’s easy to do!
When creating a cover image for your Profile, the recommended dimensions are 1600 pixels by 800 pixels and 1920x1080 resolution at minimum, so the image fits well and appears clearly for all viewers.

Instantly remove backgrounds on DreamUp creations
Focus on the subject at hand with DreamUp's newest editing feature!
Tired of wrangling up artistic subjects with your lasso tool? If you've ever crafted an almost-perfect creation in DreamUp, DeviantArt's AI art generator, but wished you could see it against different backgrounds, now you can!
Try it for yourself!
Select a generated DreamUp creation in your library.
Click "Remove background".
For just one prompt, you'll get a transparent image that you can place into any environment you desire. Or you can submit the sleek transparent image just as it is!
Prompt: full body photo of a black cat wearing a red collar, yellow eyes
Prompt: humanoid robot head made of cracked marble and gold joints, wrapped in vines, 3d character design, complex forest background with trees
Prompt: 3d emoji of a cute smiling witch holding a heart
Tip: If you have a subject in mind you'd like to isolate but haven't generated yet, try adding "solid background" or "solid [color] background"
