How to set the LINE icon image! Explaining how to set stylish images!

When installing LINE for the first time, many people may not know how to change the icon image. Also, even if you actually want to set an icon image for LINE, many people worry about how others will see it and wonder what kind of image they should set.

Therefore, in this article, we will introduce two ways to set the LINE icon image, and explain what to keep in mind when setting the LINE icon image. We will also introduce useful websites when setting LINE icon images, so please refer to them.

How to set the LINE icon image

First, we will introduce two ways to set the image of the LINE icon. Either method is fine, so choose the method that is most convenient for you.

Let’s look at each in turn.

Select your icon image from the home screen

When you open LINE, the home screen is initially displayed. The LINE icon image and profile part are displayed on the home screen, so click on either of them. Then, you will be able to select an icon image, so you can either take a new picture with your phone’s camera or choose an image that is already in a folder on your phone.

You can also set videos of up to 6 seconds on your LINE profile. The procedure here is the same as when setting an image, just click on your profile from the home screen and select the desired video. Most LINE account profiles are images, so just setting up a video can differentiate your account and attract attention.

Set from the LINE settings screen

The LINE icon image can also be set from the settings screen. First, click on the gear mark displayed in the upper right corner of the LINE home screen. You will then see “Profile” at the top, so click on it. After that, follow the steps above to set the image or video.

Please note that the size of your LINE profile image can be customized to fit the display frame. You can enlarge or reduce the image before registering it, so if there is a part of the image that you want to display particularly large, you can actively customize it.

Profile changes will be notified

If you leave the default settings at the time of installation, LINE will notify you on your timeline and story when you change your profile image. If you don’t mind your LINE friends being notified, you don’t need to worry about it, but there may be some who don’t want to be notified for some reason.

In such a case, first of all, when changing the LINE icon image, simply uncheck “Post to Story” and you will no longer be notified of the story. Next, regarding the timeline, before changing the icon image, uncheck “Post image changes” from LINE profile editing. This will prevent you from being notified when images are changed, both in the story and the timeline.

If you forget to set the settings in advance and the post is posted on your timeline, immediately delete the post from your timeline.

Points to note when setting LINE icons

Earlier, we explained that if you change the LINE icon image, it will be displayed in the story and timeline, but there are other things to be aware of.

Let’s take a closer look at the things to keep in mind when setting LINE icons.

copyright infringement

Copyrights exist for manga and anime characters and other related works. Copyrights exist in the creations of other companies (others), so be careful when setting them as LINE icon images.

For example, it’s okay to set a manga or anime character or your favorite scene as your phone’s wallpaper or wallpaper. Because these are for personal use, they are not subject to copyright infringement.

However, on LINE, which is a public place, it falls within the scope of copyright infringement. Of course, it is not allowed to use anime or manga images as they are, but it is also not allowed to use images that have been processed. Please note that these are not limited to LINE, but also apply to other SNS such as Twitter and Instagram.

If you are sued for copyright infringement, you may be subject to claims for damages or measures to restore your reputation. Everyone would like to avoid the situation described above with an icon image that they have chosen. Therefore, it is important not to set creative works that infringe on copyright as LINE icons.

Recommended LINE icon images

So far, we have provided an overview of LINE’s icon images. It is important for LINE icon images to convey your individuality. If you use a pseudonym (nickname) instead of your real name on LINE, your LINE friends may not know who you are. In such cases, icon images are included as one of the materials used to determine who someone is. Therefore, whether you have registered on LINE under a pseudonym or nickname, or even if you use your real name, it is important to set an image that conveys who you are as your LINE icon.

However, many people may be confused as to what kind of image they should actually set. From here, we will introduce recommended LINE icon images.

Let’s look at each in turn.

your back or profile

Among LINE’s icon images, the standard ones are of your back or profile. Even if you don’t usually like having your photo taken, you may think it’s okay to have your photo taken from the side or from behind. There is no need to hire a professional photographer at all, and if you set a photo taken naturally by a friend or lover as your icon image, the photo will likely be more beautiful and cool than usual.

pets such as dogs and cats

We also recommend pets such as dogs and cats that you own. Many users think that just because it’s a photo of a pet, it’s cute, so it’s more likely to become an icon that gets people’s attention. Also, there are many images of pets that are copyright-free, so you may want to search from those sources.

friends and couples

It is also common to use photos of friends or couples as icon images. A photo of just the two of you at the edge is fine, or some people post a photo taken with the sun behind them and creating pieces in the shadows. If you make matching images with your friends or couples, you will definitely become closer to each other.

Images from traveling

We also recommend using a memorable image taken during a trip as an icon image. Of course you can take photos of your travels within Japan, but if you set photos of your travels abroad, it will look more extraordinary and attract more attention. Also, many images of foreign landscapes are copyright-free, so we recommend searching for them and setting them up.

sports and music

If you’re into sports or music, you can set them up. For example, if you are playing baseball, the moment you are hitting the ball, if you are learning piano, the moment you are playing the piano. You can show off your interests and hobbies, and it will become an icon image that conveys your hard work.
