How do I add an NFT as my Twitter profile picture? Technically, you can right-click on the NFT, save the image as a JPEG, and upload it. But this does not prove that the NFT is actually yours.

How to change your profile picture to NFT using Twitter Blue
Getting your NFT profile picture on Twitter requires a few steps. First, we need to access the options. Next, you need to connect your wallet and select your NFT. Let’s see how to go about it here…

3. NFT selection for profile picture
Once your wallet is connected, you will need to select the NFTs you want to view. Again, this process may vary depending on which wallet you use and how that wallet accesses the NFT.

Once you’ve chosen an NFT to use as your profile picture, you’ll need to crop it. This is because verified NFT profile pictures are displayed as hexagons instead of the usual circles. That’s what this whole process is for. Any NFT can be your Twitter profile picture, but only NFTs you own can be displayed as hexagons.

Congrats! Now anyone who sees your profile picture will know you actually own the coolest NFT in your collection. And since Twitter Blue is required to verify your NFT profile picture, you may see a shiny blue check. So be flexible. With an NFT, you have at least $8 disposable dollars per month to show it off.
