# Adding a Profile Image with Gravatar

Have you noticed that when a member of the Customer Success Center responds to your email request, each member has a cool avatar (profile picture)? This feature is provided by Gravatar, a free service that is also available to customers. If you would like to use an avatar that is available to many applications, just follow the simple instructions listed below.

## Create Your Gravatar Account

Gravatar is part of the WordPress.com network. So if you have a WordPress account, you already have a Gravatar account and can log in to Gravatar using your WordPress.com credentials. If you don't have a WordPress account, follow the steps below to create your free Gravatar account.

1. Go to [https://en.gravatar.com](https://en.gravatar.com/)
2. Select **Create Your Own Gravatar**.
3. Complete account setup.
4. Validate your email address.

2. Sign in to Gravatar.
3. Select the **My Gravatars** tab.
