Click the "Mail" option. This is located in the top right corner of Yahoo's site; its icon resembles an envelope.

This option is on the far right side of your inbox page.
You should see this at the bottom of the Settings drop-down menu.
Make sure you click the section of the silhouette that has an outline of a camera on it; doing so will prompt you to upload a photo.

Select a picture to use. You can use any photo on your computer; if you want to upload a photo from a website, you'll have to download the photo in question first.
- Click "OK" to upload your photo when you've chosen one.

Review your chosen photo. You have a couple of customization options available after uploading:
- Click one of the arrows above the photo to rotate your picture 90 degrees left or right.
- Click and drag the slider below the photo to zoom in or out.
You should now see your chosen photo displayed as your profile picture!
