Do I Have to Use My Face on UpWork?

Last updated on September 30, 2022 @ 10:09 pm

As a freelancer, you’re in control of how you want to represent yourself to potential clients. If you’re comfortable with using your face as your profile picture, then go ahead and do so. It can help build trust with potential clients and show them that you’re a real person.

PRO TIP: When creating a profile on Upwork, you are given the option to upload a photo of yourself or to use an avatar. Many users choose to use an avatar in order to remain anonymous, but you should be aware that your profile may be less likely to be hired if you do not use a photo of yourself.

There are some circumstances where it might not be advisable to use your face as your profile picture. For example, if you’re a woman and you’re concerned about online harassment, you might want to consider using a different picture.

ultimately, the decision of whether or not to use your face as your profile picture is up to you. If you’re not comfortable with it, there’s no shame in using another picture.
