For adding new picture to the contact, please click Picture Add Picture under Contact tab. Or you can just click on the Add Contact Picture. In the Add Contact Picture dialog box, find and select the picture you want to add to the contact, and then click Open button. Then you can see the selected picture is added to the Add Contact. The user photos feature allows users to associate a picture with their account. User photos are stored in the user's Active Directory account and in the root directory of the user's Exchange mailbox. Administrators use the Set-UserPhoto cmdlet to configure user photos. Users can upload, preview, and save a user photo to their account by using the Outlook on the web Options page.
- The blank grey profile is simply depressing. I'm not talking about the little picture in the start menu of Windows or a contact picture in Outlook. I am talking about the picture next to the user name in all the Microsoft 2013 suite. In Excel and Word it appears at the top right side of the screen next to the account name and in Outlook it.
- Open Outlook and compose a new email. Look up the user as if you were going to email them. Hover over the user's contact in the To: field and select the Outlook Properties button. If pictures are enabled in your organization, and if the above steps were followed, the user's picture.
- If both the sender and the recipient use Outlook, a contact picture appears in e-mail messages when the sender includes a contact photo. The picture appears in the message header of the open message and in the header of the message. To add, remove, or change a picture for a contact, switch to your Contacts folder and edit the contact.

More information
In Microsoft 365, user photos are stored in the following locations:
- A low-resolution photo (less than 100 KB) is stored in the user's
ThumbnailPhotoattribute in Active Directory. This is the photo that's synchronized to Microsoft 365 in a hybrid environment. Low-resolution photos are used by Lync 2010. - A high-resolution photo is stored in the root directory of the user's Exchange Online mailbox. High-resolution photos are displayed in Exchange Online, Lync 2013, and Lync Web App.

SharePoint can import user profile pictures from the thumbnailPhoto attribute in Active Directory as a JPEG. This is done via setting up the Picture property within SharePoint's User Profile Application. This is well documented elsewhere, so I won't go into the process. However, if you set up a high quality image that fits under the thumbnailPhoto's 100Kb size limit, user profile pictures within SharePoint look excellent!
Now, what happens when we introduce Exchange 2013 and want to leverage it's new hi-res images for Exchange 2013 and Lync 2013? Jeff Guillet, an Exchange Server MVP, has a great article on how to use the new Exchange 2013 cmdlet, Set-UserPhoto. Set-UserPhoto does two things, it stores a copy of a very high resolution image (up to 648x648 px) in the Exchange 2013 user's mailbox. The second thing it does is store a copy of the photo as a 48x48 px image in the thumbnailPhoto attribute.
So say SharePoint imports this 48x48 px image from the thumbnailPhoto attribute. The thing you'll notice right away is that the image looks terrible. It isn't the 48x48 px image itself that looks bad, but what SharePoint does to the image. In the Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.UserProfilePhotos.CreateThumbnail internal method, SharePoint creates 3 different thumbnails for the imported photo of varying sizes:
Large = 300x300 px
Medium = 72x72 px
Small = 48x48 px
SharePoint is also using the highest quality options available to scale the image from the System.Drawing.Drawing2D namespace:

But, any way you slice it, a JPEG upscaled from 48x48 (thumbnailPhoto) to 300x300 px (user profile photo store) is going to look terrible. So how do you get the best of both worlds? My current suggestion would be to run this PowerShell, using both the Exchange Set-UserPhoto cmdlet and the Active Directory Set-ADUser cmdlet.
