    Welcome to the "Commmunity.FamilySearch" Forum.

    I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...

    Of course ...

    Providing your are referring to Your 'FamilySearch' Account (and, NOT this "Community.FamilySearch" Forum) ...

    You need to access your OWN (personal) profile, in "Family Tree", of 'FamilySearch'; and, depending on the circumstance, either:

    (1) Add a NEW "Photograph", in the "Memories"; and, then, once processed, use that NEW "Photograph"; as, your "Portrait"

    .... Once the NEW "Photograph" is processed; then, use the "Portrait" feature/function/facility,

    .... to "Change" your "Portrait";

    OR

    (2) Go straight to the "Portrait" feature/function/facility, select "Replace"; and, then, select either:

    (a) Upload Photo; or

    (b) Select from Gallery

    to "Change" your "Portrait".

    Here are some "Knowledge Articles", in 'FamilySearch":
