1. On the ![image](../../_assets/console-icons/house.svg) **Home** tab, under ![image](../../_assets/console-icons/layout-tabs.svg) **Your craftspace**, navigate to ![image](../../_assets/console-icons/archive.svg) **Repositories**.
1. Select a repository.
1. Under ![image](../../_assets/console-icons/gear.svg) **Repository settings** on the repository page, go to ![image](../../_assets/console-icons/circle-exclamation.svg) **General**.
1. On the **General settings** page:

    * To set the repository image, click ![image](../../_assets/console-icons/cloud-arrow-up-in.svg) **Upload new picture**. Image requirements:

        <!-- source: en/_includes/sourcecraft/image-format.md -->
        * Best size: 256 x 256 pixels
        * Format: JPG, GIF, or PNG
        * Weight: Up to 1 MB
        <!-- endsource: en/_includes/sourcecraft/image-format.md -->

        * **Private**: Only invited users will have access to view and edit the repository.
