Good Night,

To add your picture to your PGP key using GnuPG on Linux use:

List the certificates:

gpg –list-keys

Find your and yours certificate will start with:

pub 1024D/XXXXXXXX YYYY-MM-DD

Use this command to edit your key:

gpg –edit-key XXXXXXXX

Add your picture using:

addphoto

You must use a JPG photo. The recommended size is something near 240×288. If you use big images, your certificate will be HUGE.

Add the path to your photo:

/home/user/dir/dir/photo.jpg

The system will ask for confirmation, double check it. And press Y if it is correct.
Type your password when the system ask for it.

Save the modifications

save

Send your key to a key server.

gpg –keyserver keyserver.cais.rnp.br –send-keys XXXXXXXX

That is it.

Best Regards,
Matheus
