+# Access Your GitHub Profile Photo
+
+Let's say I have my [GitHub profile](https://github.com/jbranchaud) pulled up in
+the browser.
+
+```
+https://github.com/jbranchaud
+```
+
+If I then add `.png` to the end of that in the URL bar:
+
+```
+https://github.com/jbranchaud.png
+```
+
+I'll be redirected to the URL where the full image file lives. In my case:
+
+```
+https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/694063?v=4
+```
+
+You can pull up yours `https://github.com/<username>.png` to access your profile
+image.
