An avatar that fills the entire top of the screen

Hero mode stretches your profile photo across the full container width and fades it into the background color — striking, without being cliché.

Plus Free

The hero avatar fills the entire top section of the page — a full-width profile photo that dissolves smoothly into the background color. The transition is generated automatically to match your chosen background color, so it looks like a single whole rather than a pasted-on image. Available on the Plus plan.
