# Set Avatar

### **What does setting your Avatar do?**

1. It sets your ENS Avatar record. Combine this with [set-primary-ens-name](https://docs.my.box/docs/configure-your-.box/configure-ens/set-primary-ens-name "mention"), and your .box avatar becomes your profile picture across web3.
2. It changes the background art on your .box domain NFT.
3. It sets your profile picture on [my​.box](https://my.box).
