Everytime I add a new skype image (even in the expected resolution - 480x480 pixels) Skype resizes it and the picture becames blurred.

Is there a way to fix it using Windows 7?

I read somewhere else that it is possible on Windows 8 but I don't have this OS right now.

UPDATE:

I upvoted Dave's answer but I would like to know if there are any other way of doing that without an external app.

    Can you explain what is SO? Did you mean OS? – Dave Dec 17 '13 at 10:04
  • You are right. I meant OS. – douglaslps Dec 17 '13 at 13:25

This appears to be a common issue with no direct fix, only a work around.

Download Skype Portable 5.0 (or Google it if link dies.)
Quite Normal Skype.
Open Skype Portable.
Change picture.
Close Skype Portable.
Open Normal Skype with nice picture.

Update

Or, change the picture on the phone/tablet instead of the computer.
