Email Avatar Image Change

Ask a Question
1

Hi. I am seeking whaat will hopefully be a simple answer to this question. What I send either a broadcast or flow message, there is a little icon that shows up in the email. It shows to the left of the subject in the email - when it is received by my list.

I have known this to be called an email avatar. I want to change that little icon image so that my logo is what is shown rather than that image.

Does anyone know how to make that change?

Hi Darren! Welcome in; the image that shows next to your email when sent can’t be changed in AWeber.

There would be two options for having the ability to change the icon:

  1. Gravatar: Go to Gravatar.com, create an account with the same email you send from in AWeber, and upload your photo. It takes 5 minutes and is free. Not all email clients can show it, but it’s worth setting up.

  2. BIMI (for businesses): This displays your official logo/image next to emails in Gmail, Yahoo, etc. Learn more here: https://help.aweber.com/hc/en-us/articles/30182670428059-Using-BIMI-with-your-email-messages

You can also reach out to the host for your email inbox to see if the profile image can be changed (for example Gmail uses the contact’s image when sending emails).

What Amanda said! The return email I have set on my list is a Google Workspace email address, and my image is pulled from my Google account.

Thank you so much Amanda. I just changed/added a gravatar image on gravatar.com and aligned it with the return email address I use in my campaigns. Thanks again.

Thank you Dave. Hopefully now that I have just added an image on gravatar.com it will pull that from that in the future. Appreciate the help.

Darren,

There are a bunch of places those images are pulled from. To know where to change the specific one you’re seeing, we need to know where you’re seeing it.

From your post, you’re seeing it in an email client. Is that a desktop client, a web mail service like Gmail, or a mobile app on a specific device type?

For example, on a Mac laptop, you might be using the default Mail app which can pull images from your address book, BIMI, or even Apple Business Connect listings.
