How do I get an avatar for my Yahoo account picture?

  • I've noticed some people have customized avatars as their profile picture, wondering how I could make one.

  • Answer:

    You have to get an avatar from one of the sites which make them and save to your hard drive. Go to view my Yahoo profile, click edit then click change picture. It will tell you to upload a pic from your computer and what size it should be. Just follow the instructions. Make sure your pulse is not set to private as that stops it from appearing, If this fails then it is due to the glitch many users have noticed. Yahoo are aware of it and are supposed to be sorting it.

You must create your own avatar using software on your computer or download one from one of the many avatar sites on the web. Keep the avatar small. The displayed avatar is 48x48 pixels and under 5k. A very large avatar may become distorted or blurry. I recommend keeping it square and under 100k. Yahoo no longer has a site to create one. It closed on 4/1/13. Here is a site where you can create an avatar: http://www.doppelme.com/ Here are a couple of sites with ready made avatars: http://www.avatarsdb.com/ and http://freeavatarsonline.com/ In order for your avatar to appear you must make your Yahoo! Profile visible if not already. Go to: http://profile.yahoo.com/y/settings/privacy/ and make sure the profile is not hidden. There is no reason to hide your profile. Nothing appears unless you enter it and turn a switch on. Either go to your Yahoo! Answers settings at http://answers.yahoo.com/my-activity/edit/about and click on "Update photo or avatar" or go to your Yahoo! Profile at http://profile.yahoo.com and click on the current avatar. Upload one or choose an existing one. If updating at one link does not work then try the other. ℬ ℋ
