# Set up your profile

> Add your photo, name, bio, social profiles and professional details, choose your username, and see where each one appears.

Your profile is how clients and other professionals recognize you. If you have a professional account, you filled in part of it when you set the account up. You can change all of it at any time.

## Open your profile [#open-your-profile]

<Tabs items={['Professional account', 'Regular account']}>
<Tab value="Professional account">
Select your profile picture, choose **Settings**, then choose **Profile**. On a phone, **Settings** opens a list of sections: choose **Profile** there.

Your profile has three tabs: **Basic**, **Professional** and **Organization**. When you have made your changes, choose **Save changes**.
</Tab>
<Tab value="Regular account">
Select your profile picture, or open **Menu** on a phone, then choose **Settings**. **Profile** is the first section, with your **Photo**, **Name**, **Username** and **Bio**.

When you have made your changes, choose **Save**.
</Tab>
</Tabs>

## What your profile contains [#what-your-profile-contains]

These are the fields of a professional profile. A regular account has the photo, name, username and bio.

| Tab | Field | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| **Basic** | **Profile picture** | Your photo. |
| | **First name**, **Last name** | Your name, as clients see it. |
| | **Username** | Your handle. It becomes part of your web addresses. See [choose your username](#choose-your-username). |

| | **Phone number** | Your phone number. |
| | **Bio** | A short description of you, up to 250 characters. |
| | **Social profiles** | Your Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, YouTube and TikTok profiles, and your website. |
| **Professional** | **Industry roles** | What you do in real estate. You can choose more than one. |
| | **Job title** | Optional, for example "Real estate agent". |

| **Organization** | **Organization** | Your company, cooperative or other organization. |
| | **Website** | Your organization's website. |
| | **Office address** | Where your office is. |

## Add your profile picture [#add-your-profile-picture]

<Steps>
<Step>
On the **Basic** tab, under **Profile picture**, choose **Upload**, or drop an image on it. Use a JPEG, PNG or WebP image of up to 20 MB.
</Step>
<Step>
To frame it, choose **Edit**. Drag the photo to move it, and use **Zoom**, **Straighten** and **Rotate**. Choose **Apply**.
</Step>
<Step>
Choose **Save changes**. Your new photo appears across Matchai.
</Step>
</Steps>

To change your photo later, choose **Replace**. To remove it, use the remove button next to it, then save.

If you signed up with an account that has a profile photo, such as Google, your profile may start with that photo until you upload your own.

## Write your bio [#write-your-bio]

Your bio can be up to 250 characters. A counter shows how many you have used. If you paste a longer text, Matchai shortens it to 250 characters and tells you.

## Add your social profiles [#add-your-social-profiles]

Social profiles are part of a professional profile, on the **Basic** tab under **Social profiles**.

For each network, type your username or paste the link to your profile. Matchai keeps the username and builds the full address for you. To check that a link works, hover over the field, or tap it on a phone, and open the link that appears.

Your social profiles appear on your Matchai Page and your Matchai Card. If one cannot be saved, Matchai tells you and keeps what you typed so you can fix it.

## Add your professional details [#add-your-professional-details]

<Steps>
<Step>
Open the **Professional** tab.
</Step>
<Step>
Under **Industry roles**, choose each role that describes your work. Each one appears below the list. To remove one, select the cross next to it.
</Step>
<Step>
Add a **Job title** if you want one shown with your name.
</Step>
<Step>
To add a board membership, choose **Add board membership** and search for the regulatory body by its name or code. Then add your **License number** and **License type**. A board membership is saved as soon as you add it.
</Step>
</Steps>

On the **Organization** tab, search for your organization. If it is not listed, choose the option to create it: it is added when you save. Then add its **Website** and your **Office address**, and choose **Save changes**.

## Choose your username [#choose-your-username]

Your username has 3 to 30 characters: lowercase letters, numbers and underscores. As you type, Matchai checks it and shows **Username is available**, or tells you that it is taken or reserved.

If you signed up with Google, Apple, Microsoft or your mobile number, Matchai chose a username for you. Check it before you share any of your addresses.

<Callout title="Why it works this way">
Your username is part of your public web addresses, so it works like a domain name:

- **Your Matchai Page** opens at `yourname.matchai.pro` once you publish it.
- **Your public profile** is at `matchai.co/profile/yourname`.
- **Your Matchai Card** is at `matchai.co/c/yourname` while it is public.
- **Your Matchai Site** starts from it: when you create your site, Matchai suggests `yourname.matchai.co`. You can choose a different address for the site, and the site keeps its address if you change your username later.

Web addresses cannot contain underscores, so an underscore becomes a hyphen in your Page address: the username `jane_doe` gives `jane-doe.matchai.pro`. Some names are reserved because Matchai uses them for its own addresses.

If you change your username, your Page, profile and card addresses change with it, and links that use the old username stop working. Update any link you have shared, such as the one in your social media bios.
</Callout>

## Where your profile appears [#where-your-profile-appears]

| Where | What people see |
|---|---|
| Your public profile, `matchai.co/profile/yourname` | Your photo, name, job title, organization, license number, bio and contact details, a button to message you, and a link to your site. |
| Your Matchai Page and Matchai Card | Your photo, your name and your social profiles. |
| Your Matchai Site and your listings | You, as the professional to contact. |
| Conversations, teams and projects | Your name and photo. |

The public profile of a regular account shows the photo, name, bio and the year the person joined Matchai.

When you are signed in and open your own public profile, an edit button takes you back to these settings.
