Important

APIs under the /beta version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.

Get the specified profilePhoto or its metadata (profilePhoto properties) from Microsoft 365.

Note: When attempting to GET a user photo, this operation first tries to retrieve the specified photo from Microsoft 365. If the photo is unavailable in Microsoft 365, the API trie to retrieve the photo from Microsoft Entra ID.

The supported sizes of HD photos in Microsoft 365 are as follows: 48x48, 64x64, 96x96, 120x120, 240x240, 360x360, 432x432, 504x504, and 648x648. Photos can be any dimension if they're stored in Microsoft Entra ID.

You can get the metadata of the largest available photo or specify a size to get the metadata for that photo size. If the size you request is unavailable, you can still get a smaller size that the user has uploaded and made available. For example, if the user uploads a photo that is 504x504 pixels, all but the 648x648 photo size is available for download. If the specified size is unavailable in the user's mailbox or Microsoft Entra ID, the size 1x1 is returned with the rest of the metadata.

Using the binary data of the requested photo

When you use the /photo/$value endpoint to get the binary data for a profile photo, you need to convert the data into a base-64 string to add it as an email attachment. The following JavaScript example shows how to create an array that you can pass as the value of the Attachments parameter of an Outlook message.

const attachments = [{
  '@odata.type': '#microsoft.graph.fileAttachment',
  ContentBytes: file.toString('base64'),
  Name: 'mypic.jpg'
}];

For implementation details, see the Microsoft Graph Connect Sample for Node.js.

If you want to display the image on a web page, create an in-memory object from the image and make that object the source of an image element. The following JavaScript example shows this operation.

const url = window.URL || window.webkitURL;
const blobUrl = url.createObjectURL(image.data);
document.getElementById(imageElement).setAttribute("src", blobUrl);
