Customize your avatar in Bitbucket (no Gravatar needed!)

After over 700 requests to replace Gravatar from Bitbucket users like you, we’re excited to announce a new avatar picker in Bitbucket. Now you can upload and crop images to personalize your user profile and free private repositories.

Upload any JPG, GIF, or PNG via drag-and-drop or the file browser, then easily resize until your image is just right. Bitbucket will give you a large-scale preview of how your avatar will be displayed throughout Bitbucket on commits, pull requests, and activity streams.

Of course if you’re already using Gravatar with a validated Bitbucket email address, you can count on backwards compatibility (in other words, your existing profile picture is safe).
