Blurry profile image when booting MacBook

Hi there!

I'm using macOS Big Sur (version 11.2.3) on my MacBook Pro and my profile picture is blurred when booting the MacBook. I'm using one of the default profile images. However, when locking, the image becomes clear. Can anyone help?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.2

If we understand correctly from your post, your user photo becomes blurry after turning on your Mac to login. We can help.


Try these steps to test from Change a user’s picture on Mac:


Use a picture included with macOS: Click Defaults, then select a picture.


Take your picture using your Mac: Click Camera; when you’re ready, click Take Photo.


Use a picture from the Photos app: Click Photos. To see specific photos from a time, place, or album, click a disclosure triangle below photos, then select a group of photos. Select a picture, then click Next.


Use a picture from the Photo Booth app: Click Photo Booth to see pictures you’ve taken using your Mac and the Photo Booth app. Select a picture, then click Next.
