With avatar creation tools, like Gravatar, you can upload your preferred avatar for your reply-to email address!
What is Gravatar?
Gravatar is a free avatar creation service recommended to display your sender image.
It is important to note that Gravatar doesn't change the avatar of your email, but is used to associate an avatar with your email address. This is important to understand because a Gravatar is not automatically displayed on every email client, instead they are only displayed for recipients with email clients (i.e., Gmail) that support Gravatar.
A Gravatar stands for a Globally Recognized Avatar.
Simply upload your image, create a profile, and with any Gravatar-enabled email client, your Gravatar image will follow.

The best recommendation is to research and find the tool that best fits you and your business.
