When visiting an online account, you can usually obtain a larger copy of the users account profile image if you Double Click on it or if you Right Click on the profile image and then select Open Image In New Tab or View Image but sometimes this profile image may be too small to conduct an effective Reverse Image Search to look for any other online accounts linked to it, however some online accounts allow you to alter the URL of a profile image to view and obtain a larger version of it, if one is available.

The following may help you obtain a more useful larger profile image.

To do this enter the URL for the account on Archive and then view any previously stored copies for the account that are held on Archive. Whilst this won't work in every case it is well worth trying.
