How to add your own pictures for your contacts

[Madman10]

Does anyone know how to add your own personal picture for the icon or avatar on each of your contacts on your phone? I have tried everything to achieve this, anyone have any ideas?

Hi and welcome!

You should be able to go to your Contacts, tap the contact want to add the picture to, tap Menu, then Edit, then up near the top there is a blank picture box with a plus sign in it. That should ask you where you want to get the picture from, Camera or Gallery.

Alternatively, since "Contacts" are a product of Google, and assuming you have a Gmail account, you can simply upload whatever picture or avatar you choose from your computer by clicking on the area in the upper left hand corner that says Add A Picture. This calls up a smaller box with Select Picture from your computer displayed. The text below that says "You can upload a JPG, GIF, or PNG file. (Do not upload pictures containing celebrities, nudity, artwork or copyrighted images.)"

It's quite easy to do and you can let your imagination fill in the gaps in the event you don't actually *have* a picture of the person. Simply find someone's online avatar and borrow it. I have a friend who loves cats, but has a bad temper so I gave her this - - as her picture in my contacts list.

Thanks I did like Das8nt suggested and it works great, do any of you know the size they should be? Also is it possible to have a distint ringtone for each contact in your list?

I've had any picture work, but it's optimized for square pics, so anything like 100x100 or 200x200, and so on.
