4. Picking your profile photo
 TeachStreet uses square images
in many places, so if your
picture is a rectangle it will be
cropped to fit into the square
space.
– You can crop your primary photo
to choose how it is displayed
– Go to the photos tab on your
profile and select “My Profile
Photo” to crop your image
 When picking a primary photo,
we recommend:
– A picture of you showing your face
Profile photos
are square. – Your business logo
– A photo related to your subject 4

5. Picking your listing photo
 When picking your
listing’s primary
photo, we
recommend
selecting:
– An image from your
class or event

illustrates what will
happen during the
event
 TeachStreet uses rectangle sized
images or class listings
Listing photos are
rectangles (3:4 ratio). – You can crop your primary photo to
choose how it is displayed
