Access Your GitHub Profile Photo

github Written November 29, 2025

Let's say I have my GitHub profile pulled up in the browser.

https://github.com/jbranchaud

If I then add .png to the end of that in the URL bar:

https://github.com/jbranchaud.png

I'll be redirected to the URL where the full image file lives. In my case:

https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/694063?v=4

You can pull up yours https://github.com/<username>.png to access your profile image.
