Is it okay to make a custom gamer picture?

There's really no way to officially get a custom gamerpic onto your account, like in terms of uploading JPEG's from your computer.

If you mean taking a picture of your avatar from a custom angle, then you can certainly do that with the avatar editor, which you can access from your profile settings.

At the moment it is against the rules to use a custom gamerpic & you would risk some kind of enforcement action on your account if you did.

It is a feature that is being looked into so it's just a case of waiting to see what happens.

All you can use is the provided gamerpics or an avatar pic

p.s. my gamerpicture now is a close up of my avatar t shirt.

Hello!

From the Windows 10 app, click on your gamer pic, then customize, then hover over your current picture. The picture will dim with a customize button appearing, click on that, and It will prompt to choose a gamer pic or select a custom picture.

I understand how Microsoft would want to protect their system from being flooded with inappropriate pictures, but they need to provide a whole lot more options for their users. I thought of doing an external customization, but won't - I don't want to violate
the terms and take any unnecessary risk. But we need more and better pics on the Xbox One. And why do the old 360 pics import so poorly - they should have at least up-scaled or something. Come one Microsoft, give us more customizable options, starting with
a larger library of gamer pics. I can't even find any Xbox One gamer pics in the Store.
