Picture
You can upload your picture to Yandex Mail, and your email recepients will see it next to the From field.
Upload a picture
- Open Yandex ID.
- Upload an image from your computer or enter a direct link to the image (for example, from a social network).
If you don't upload a profile picture, Yandex Mail will create one automatically. The picture will display your initials against a single-color background (for example, “CC” for Cheshire Cat).
Note
Use Yandex Mail so that your picture is displayed correctly. If your message recipient uses a different mail service, it may not support this feature, and the recipient will not see your picture in the message header.
