# Send with an Avatar

> How to associate sender profile pictures and avatars with your outbound emails.

# Send with an Avatar

Adding an avatar or profile photo makes your transactional and outreach emails feel human, establishing trust with your recipients.

***

## 1. Gravatar (Global Associated Avatars)

Many email clients (including Thunderbird, Apple Mail, and various webmail interfaces) query **Gravatar** to retrieve sender avatars:

1. Visit **[Gravatar.com](https://gravatar.com)**.
2. Create or log in to your account.
3. Add the exact email address you send from (e.g. `alex@yourcompany.com`).
4. Upload your professional headshot or company avatar.
5. Clients that support Gravatar will display the image whenever they receive mail from that address.

## 2. Google Workspace Profile Picture

For emails received by `@gmail.com` or Google Workspace users:

* If you send from a Google Workspace user account, upload a profile photo in the Google Admin Console or Account Settings.
* Google will automatically show that avatar next to your sender name inside Gmail.
