Turn Your Facebook Profile Picture into a Video

Posted on August 13, 2010 at 5:15 am

Making your profile picture engaging and personal without looking lame is a challenge. Still images are limiting, and are left to interpretation by your Facebook audience. A video is much more powerful for making a statement. Thanks to Vanityvid, anyone can use a video as their Facebook or Twitter profile picture.
