Adding the frame to your profile photo is simple. However, the removal process is not as straightforward as adding it. So, how does one remove a Facebook profile pic frame? Let’s take an in-depth exploration into how one can remove a frame from their Facebook profile picture.
Getting Rid of Facebook Frames
Your profile picture is public and tells others more about you. Adding frames to your profile photo not only shows your support for brands, causes, or events but also adds splashes of color to your profile. The frames are beautiful and noble. They inspire action and help drive positive changes. However, you’ll need to eliminate a frame when an event or cause is over. Here are the different ways to do so.
Method #1: Swap Your Profile Photo With a New Frameless Image
It’s a no-brainer process. You’ll need to switch to a new frameless picture. But you will lose all the likes and comments underneath your current profile picture. Here are different ways to change your framed profile picture to a new one on Facebook.

Method #3: Change to an Old Photo

A Wrap
Facebook doesn’t provide a button for removing the frame. But this doesn’t mean you can’t remove the frame on your Facebook profile page. I have discussed different approaches you can use to unpack the frame on your Facebook profile. You can switch to the original frameless image, use a new photo, or select an older one from your “Profile pictures” album. However, creating frames through “Frame Studio” is not accessible to everyone. Thankfully, you can use Canva if you see the “creation of new frames is temporarily unavailable” message on your “Frame Studio.”
