Unable to remove profile image from Adobe ID

Question

Is there a way to completely remove the current profile photo, not just change it?

I think we are turning something simple into something more complex than it actually is, kglad and Nancy thanks for the suggested solution of placing an image with alpha = 0 (no- pixel) but this only goes back to the cycle of the problem, there is still an image with transparency that gives the impression that there is no image right, apparently there is no way to remove it completely.

The main reason for all this is the following: I'm a Adobe Xd user and I use co-editing feature with other users, the latest update includes live cursors that show the avatar of each user moving through space, sometimes it can be difficult to identify the avatar of a specific person so it is easier to see the initial of their name (apparently this is only possible if the user does not have a profile image in their Adobe account, it is the default state before placing a profile picture); with that said, hope I have clarified my question, is there a way to go back to the default state to be able to have my username initial again without having a photo?

I attach an Xd image with a user who does not have a profile picture but an avatar of his initials.

Thank you

Ah, that's what you meant!

The avatar that appears in the signed-in programs is synced with your Adobe Account. Once you've uploaded an image, it doesn't seem to be removable.

Since you can't remove it, create a square with your initials in it in something like Paint or Visio or Snagit (or Photoshop or Illustrator or ...), then save it to a small PNG file and upload it to your Adobe Account as a new profile picture.

Go to https://account.adobe.com/profile
Click Change.
Click Upload Image
Upload your little square with your initials
Click Save

And if what you want to know is how to remove that red ball/avatar next to your name so that there's no graphic image there, the answer is No.

You will have an avatar there that is assigned by Adobe or you will have an avatar that consists of a picture you upload. This is part of the board software.

Edited to add: I am moving this thread to the Using the Community forum, since it concerns how to use the forum software.
