Follow the steps below to Auto populate current logged in user name in SharePoint 2010 People Picker control:
1) Create a scripts library in your site (or use the one you currently use to store your Javascript/*.js files)
2) Download the latest version of the JQuery file from here - http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.5.1.min.js
3) Dowload the latest version of the SPServices JQuery library from here - http://spservices.codeplex.com or http://spservices.codeplex.com/releases/55660/download/171214
4) Copy the above *.js files (namely "jquery-1.5.1.min.js" and "") to the scripts folder created in Step 1
5) Open the form/page (such as NewForm.aspx) where you want to default the People Picker control to the current user logged in and add the following script at the end of the page (preferably below the end style tag:
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="/board/scripts/jquery-1.5.1.min.js"></script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="/board/scripts/jquery.SPServices-0.6.0.min.js"></script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
var userName = $().SPServices.SPGetCurrentUser({
fieldName: "Name"
});
$("textarea[title='People Picker']").val(userName);
$("div[title='People Picker']").text(userName);
});
</script>
Note - you need to replace the src property values above to reflect the correct path to the Javascript files downloaded in above steps and saved in the "scripts" folder.

Its really Awesome... It works for me.
If there is more then one people picker how to only populate the first one?
If there is more than one people picker then go with the following
$("textarea[title='People Picker']:eq(2)").val(userName); $("div[title='People Picker']:eq(2)").text(userName); });
Hi Here I am trying to use this in sp2013. But the values are not writting to the people picker control. Can any one tell me.
$("textarea[title='People Picker']").val(userName);
$("div[title='People Picker']").text(userName);
Is there is something change in sharepoint 2013
for me, below alert is providing nothing, 'userName' is blank, any idea?
var userName = $().SPServices.SPGetCurrentUser({
fieldName: "Name"
});
alert("name: "+userName);
