# How to set the max user image dimensions in Drupal 7

While allowing the users to use their own custom images, you may want to control the maximum dimensions. This helps maintain a consistency in display for the site as well as limiting the file size to a point (which can also be done separately.) Editing the max user image dimensions in Drupal 7 is simple with these steps.

**Modifying the max user image dimensions in Drupal 7:**

1. [Log into your Drupal 7 Admin dashboard](/support/edu/drupal/how-to-log-into-the-drupal-admin-dashboard/).
2. Find the **Configuration **option on the top menu bar and click on that option.[![_main-dashboard-configuration](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/edu_Drupal_7_Configuration__main-dashboard-configuration.png)](/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/edu_Drupal_7_Configuration__main-dashboard-configuration.png)
3. You are now on the **Configuration **screen. Find the **People **category and click on the **Account Settings **link.
4. This brings you to the **Account Settings **screen. Be sure you are set to the **Settings **tab, found in the upper right part of the screen. Enter your new dimensions (height x width) in the **Picture Upload Dimensions** setting, located under the **Personalization **section.[![config-people-account-image-dimen](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/edu_Drupal_7_Configuration_People_Account_Settings_config-people-account-image-dimen.png)](/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/edu_Drupal_7_Configuration_People_Account_Settings_config-people-account-image-dimen.png)
5. Scroll to the bottom of the screen and click on the **Save Configuration** button.

You have now set the max user image dimensions in Drupal 7.
