Making OCM Your New PFP

Show off your favorite OCM as your new profile picture (PFP) on Twitter and Discord!
Let's start by downloading your OCM image, then changing your social media PFPs and profile banners.
There are 2 ways to "download" your favorite OCM image:
Take a screenshot of your OCM NFT from your wallet view (e.g. OpenSea profile).
Although both methods are suitable, we recommend going with the first method and downloading your OCM images for best image quality and resolution.
Because the OCM Genesis collection was created entirely onchain in one Ethereum transaction, its images are special, and composed of SVG image files instead of PNG/JPEGs. SVG image files are very small and vector based, so they look good zoomed in or zoomed out, and are viewable in any browser. However, Genesis images cannot simply be downloaded and saved like typical PNG/JPEG image files to upload and update your social media PFPs.
For Genesis holders: 2 image formats of your Genesis available for download - SVG and PNG
For Katoshi holders: PNG image format of your Katoshi is available
Navigate to the Genesis Gallery or Katoshi Gallery.
2. Enter your Genesis or Katoshi monkey/token ID in the left search panel.
PNG image files are needed for uploading PFPs to social media accounts, sharing in a tweet, and pasting in a document or email.
SVG image files are most suitable for high-resolution quality printing, like custom printing a t-shirt with your Genesis/Katoshi image.
3. Right-click on the monkey image, and select Save Image As.
4. This will save the Portable Network Graphic (.PNG) image file of your monkey to your local desktop Downloads folder or mobile Photos folder.
OCM Katoshi images are not in SVG format. Higher resolution images of them will be made available in the future.
3. Scroll down to the Marketplaces section, and click View On OpenSea.
4. In OpenSea's OnChainMonkey collection, right-click on the monkey image, and select Save Image As. The file format saved here is Scalable Vector Graphics (.SVG).
Updating your Twitter PFP from your mobile Twitter app is slightly different from updating it from your Twitter website login.
Launch your Twitter app.
Tap on your current Twitter PFP (circle icon in the top left corner).
This will open a menu on the left. Select Profile.
On your profile page, tap Edit profile in the upper right corner.
Tap the middle of your current Twitter PFP, it will have a camera icon on it.
If the Twitter app already has access to all your mobile device photos, you should see your OCM image available for selection. If you don’t, then you’ll need to first give Twitter access by tapping on the white middle + square to allow access to specific photos on your mobile device. Tap your OCM image to allow Twitter access, indicated by a blue checkmark on your image. Next, tap your OCM image again to select it as your Twitter PFP image.
You can edit the PFP image display by zooming-in/out and/or rotating it (bottom button). The spotlight on your image indicates the image area that will be displayed as your new Twitter PFP. Tap Apply (top right corner).
This will take you back to "Edit profile" where your changes need to Save (upper right corner) before taking full effect.
Finally, Twitter automatically brings up a new Tweet box that makes it easy to announce to the Twitter world that you have a #NewProfilePic! Make sure to tag @OnChainMonkey community too.
Log into your Twitter account.
In the left menu bar, select Profile (icon is an outline of person).
On your profile page, click Edit profile in the upper right corner.
Click the middle of your current Twitter PFP, it will have a camera icon on it.
Navigate to the location on your computer where your OCM image is saved, and click Upload.
Your OCM image will now appear in the "Edit media" pop-up window where you can zoom-in/out on it. Click Apply (upper right corner) when done.
This will take you back to your “Edit profile” pop-up window where your changes need to Save (upper right corner) before taking full effect.
Create a new Tweet to show off your #NewProfilePic to the Twitter world and tag @OnChainMonkey community.
