Responding to what most surely be one of the most common questions and requests from users of previous SharePoint My Sites, Microsoft have updated the manner in which profile pictures are managed within SharePoint 2010 My Sites (actually the User Profile Database).
The key areas of the new approach are:
- Pictures are now stored centrally within the My Site Host site collection in a picture library located http://host/userphotos.
- Pictures are resized three ways when uploaded:
- 32x32 pixels for use within SharePoint 2010
- 48x48 pixels for use within Active Directory and other client applications (such as Outlook and Office Communicator)
- 96x96 pixels for use on the My Profile page of a My Site
- The Picture Picker can be customised or replaced to support feature such as requesting usage consent or providing default images.

Can you tell me how do I navigate to UserPhotos library ?? I tried but couldnt find.
To find the User Photos library you will need to be logged in as an administrator. As an admin navigate to the My Network part of the My Site, then from the site actions menu select View All Site Content. There you will see a Picture Library called 'User Photos'.
I have noticed that unlike it states in my post the url is actually not /userphotos but rather /user%20photos
I hope this helps.
Exactly.. User %20 between 'user' and 'photos' words. Like http://mysite/User%20Photos
