Dear Perchance Dev, I would like to make another request. It is about profile pictures and images. The process is simple, a user could be allowed to have a profile picture, this could be done via having a image uploaded to a CDN (Content Delivery Network) such as Perchance’s own, or through other image hosting platform.

Just like how nicknames are set, a user profile could be set from the settings defined. The profile pictures could even be animated gif or WebP.

(Optional) However, the admins should have at least the ability to hide individual users’ profile picture, as some users may choose to use inappropriate pictures which could be potentially harmful to many.


The image upload could be achieved using a similar method; linking an already uploaded image. Uploading images directly to Perchance’s server might put a heavy load, thus linking them through link might be a better option. There should be another button for the image(s) to be linked.

Thank you very much.

    I have a question, what about private windows and logging out? Since they won’t be in their account, I think this still requires banning IPs.

      It is only for those with accounts, those not logged in, without accounts, can still be banned with IP.

      Probably the perks of having an account would be the custom avatars and consistent tags. You can still be anonymous if you logged out or use private windows.
