Profile picture
Isn't there a way to integrate into the Kinde native form that people can upload a profile picture and then receive it in the
user.created webhook with a temporary link to a kinde cdn or something like that so we can then save it to our cdn?5 Replies
Hey @disamdev That functionality is not currently available the way you describe it. However:
User profile pics can be updated via API - see https://docs.kinde.com/kinde-apis/management/#tag/users/patch/api/v1/user
You could design a form yourself to manage this.
Later in January we are releasing a feature to allow more control of the auth experience design and content, both via UI and BYO code. So there is a remedy coming, just not right now.
We have had requests for user profile controls, and it is on our backlog for consideration.
Kinde docs
Kinde Management API
The management API is for managing your Kinde account. Most things that can be done via the Kinde admin UI can be done with this API
I know this thread is old, but was wondering if the existing api stores just an image url or actual profile picture data? Thanks 🙂
Hey Paul,
Based on the user profile schema, Kinde only stores a URL reference to the picture, not the actual image data. This means Kinde stores the URL reference to where the image is hosted, rather than storing the actual image data itself.
You can get the detailed API structure here in our documentation.

Let me know if this helps. Thanks

I see! You could improve the docs to be more explicit.
Storing image data would be a great Kinde feature to get up and running with an app more easily.
