How to hack your Facebook profile picture

Thousands of people are hacking the new-look Facebook profiles to jazz them up. Here's how to do it yourself

A French artist has kicked off a new trend by ‘refacing’ his Facebook profile. Alexandre Oudin tweaked the photos on his Facebook page to make them look like pieces of one large photo. Since then, other Facebook users have been repeating the trick to create their own versions: see our gallery here.

If you want to ‘reface’ your Facebook page, here’s how you do it.

• You’ll need to have activated the new Facebook profile page - if you have, you’ll see your basic biographical information at the top of the page and, below that, a photo strip of five recent photos that have been tagged with your name.

• You’ll also need a photo that’s at least 692 pixels wide - that’s the width of the page from the left-hand edge of your profile picture to the right-hand edge of the photo strip.

• The final thing you’ll need is a photo-editing program that allows you to crop images. If you don’t have a program on your computer, try an online editing service, such as Photoshop Express.
