If you are creating a new profile, continue through the profile creation process to the Preview and Submit Page, click the "add photo" link, and follow the steps below.

If you are editing your profile, sign in to Yahoo! Personals, then click "Edit Profile" on the home page, then click the "add photo" link at the top of the page. From there, follow the steps below.

Please read and understand our guidelines before you upload your photos to ensure that it is posted.

  1. Click the "Browse" button. This allows you to select a photo from those which are saved on your computer.
  2. Locate and highlight the photo file you want to post. Photos must be no more than 4MB and must be in JPEG, PNG, TIFF, BMP or GIF format.
  3. Click the "Open" button. There might be some delay or lag time while your item is being sent to us, depending on the size of the file and the speed of your web connection.
  4. Add an optional caption for this photo. Be creative!
  5. Click the "Upload" button.

When submitted, your photo and caption is reviewed. If approved, your photo and caption appears on your personal profile within 24 hours. If your photo or caption does not comply with our guidelines, then we'll notify you via the primary email associated with your Yahoo! account that you need to edit and re-post it. Read more about the profile approval process.

If you encounter any problems in the upload process, please check your system and browser. The current requirements are: Internet Explorer 4.0 or above on Windows 95, 98, 2000, XP; Netscape 4.7 or greater on Windows or Mac; AOL version 6.0 or above.

Note for Macintosh users: Be sure to add a file extension to the name of the item before you click "Upload." If your picture is a JPEG, add ".jpg" to the end of the name (e.g., cowbell.jpg). You must save your picture in a supported file format before adding the file extension to it.
