July’s been a whirlwind, and we’ve got some exciting updates to share. We’ve been working hard to make your profile for the web shine even brighter.

Let’s dive in!

Links That Pop

Your Gravatar profile is evolving into the ultimate Link In Bio tool. Now you can add thumbnails and descriptions to your links, turning your profile into a dynamic showcase.

Show off your latest project, highlight your blog, or feature your portfolio with style. It’s like giving your digital presence a makeover, all in one place.

And here’s a little bonus: claim your free .link domain. It’s your chance to own your corner of the web. Pretty neat, right?

Whether you’re a blogger, creator, student, or professional, your Gravatar profile is now your go-to spot for sharing everything about you.

Add new links to your profile here.

Networking, Simplified

Remember the awkward dance of exchanging contact info at events or with a new acquaintance? Those days are over.

Share your Gravatar profile link, and you’re instantly connected. On mobile, we’ve added an ‘Add to contacts’ button. One tap, and you’re in their address book (only any info you’ve made public, no worries).

We’ve even spruced up the QR code for your profile. Networking just got a whole lot smoother.

Simple Contact Form, Your Way

We’ve introduced a handy messaging feature. When enabled, other Gravatar users can send you a short message without seeing your email. It’s like a digital handshake, complete with their Gravatar profile info. You’re in control of whether to reply to the email and continue the conversation.

To turn it on, visit the Contact info tab in the profile editor and toggle ‘Allow anyone to send me a message’. That’s it!

Picture Perfect Avatars

Our new photo editor is faster, mobile-friendly, and packed with tools to make your avatar stand out:

  • Filters
  • Stickers
  • Brightness
  • Contrast
  • Temperature
  • Vignette and more

Upload a new avatar image to give it a spin.

And look for the photo editor to be expanded and added to all photo uploads in Gravatar in the weeks to come.

Quick Editor for Developers

Developers, we’ve got you covered!

Say hello to the Quick Editor! Now users can update their Gravatar right in your app or website. It’s seamless integration at its finest. And keep an eye out — a native mobile SDK avatar editor is on the horizon.

Learn more about the Quick Editor here.

Settings Simplified

We’ve tidied up your account settings into one neat page.

Privacy, security, language preferences, timezone – it’s all there. Your data, your rules.

Go here to give your account settings a quick review.

Fresh Face, Same Mission

Oh, and one more thing!

We’ve given our home page a complete makeover. It’s not just a new coat of paint – we’ve redesigned it to better reflect our mission of empowering your digital identity.

Pop over to gravatar.com and check it out. We think you’ll love how it showcases all the ways Gravatar can amplify your online presence.

These updates aren’t just cool features. They’re about empowering you to create and manage your online identity with ease. We’re not just about avatars anymore — we’re your digital profile hub.

So go ahead, take these new features for a spin and share the links to your profile near and far. We can’t wait to see how you use them to showcase your awesome self across the web.

Happy Gravatar-ing!
