INFOGRAPHIC: A Look At How Often People Change Facebook Profile Photos

It seems that Facebook users are switching their profile photo often, with women uploading a new profile photo every 2 weeks, and men uploading a new profile photo every 3 weeks on average.

According to this infographic published by Pixable — which closed a $3.6 million funding round last month — 10 percent of pictures on Facebook are profile photos. Given that Facebook users are predicted to have 100 billion photos by this summer, that means there are quite a few profile photos on the social network.

Pixable, which helps people to discover photos through tools such as its Photofeed app, analyzed data from around 500,000 of its users to generate the data used in this infographic.

Pixable also found that a typical profile photo has 3 Likes and 2 comments, and that the average Facebook user has 26 profile photos. Meanwhile, it was discovered that the number of profile photos a user uploads per year has tripled since 2006 from 6 to 18.
