Public Profile Settings
Customize how others see your organization on Aura.
Your public profile is the identity visitors see when they land on your Aura page. You can customize it by clicking the Customize profile button on your Creator Profile page, or by navigating to /u/your-handle/customize.
Organization Name
This is the big, bold name displayed at the top of your profile. It could be your company name, your brand, or your personal name - whatever you want visitors to see.
Bio / Description
A short description that appears right below your name. Use it to explain what you do or what your companions are about. Keep it concise - visitors will see the first couple of lines at a glance.
Avatar (Profile Picture)
Your avatar is the circular image that overlaps your banner. It appears on your profile, in search results, and anywhere your profile is previewed. To change it:
- Click Customize profile on your Creator Profile page
- Hover your current avatar and click the pencil icon that appears
- Choose a new image from your device
- Click Publish Changes
Banner Image
The banner is the wide image that stretches across the very top of your profile page. It sets the visual tone for your entire page. If you do not upload a banner, a beautiful default gradient will be used.
To update your banner:
- Click Customize profile on your Creator Profile page
- Click the upload icon on the banner area
- Choose a wide, high-quality image
- The image editor opens with a fixed 5:1 aspect ratio crop - position the frame over the part of the image you want to use
- Click Apply to confirm the crop
- Click Publish Changes
The banner is saved as a WebP image (max 5 MB) for fast loading. The 5:1 ratio ensures it looks great across all screen sizes.
To remove an uploaded banner and go back to the default gradient, click the remove option on the banner area.
Your profile changes are not saved until you click Publish Changes (it reads "Publishing..." while the request is in flight). Click Cancel to discard your edits instead. Make sure to save before leaving the page.
Live Preview
On your Creator Profile page (/u/your-handle), the Live preview button (owner-only, next to Share) lets you see your profile exactly as a visitor would - only your public companions, no owner-only controls like the Share button or status dots. Toggling it re-fetches your profile data from the server, so if you just changed a companion's visibility (public/private/none) it shows up immediately instead of waiting for a full page reload. Click Exit preview to return to your normal owner view.
Error screens
- Profile Not Found - shown in place of the whole page if the handle in the URL doesn't match any organization: "The profile you're looking for doesn't exist or may have been removed."
- Not Authorized - shown on the customize page (
/u/your-handle/customize) if you're signed in but the handle belongs to a different organization than yours: "You can only customize your own organization's profile." You can only reach your own customize page from the Customize profile button on your own Creator Profile.
