vCard photo being stripped

Question

I am building a "Meet The Team" page and thought it would be a nice feature to have downloadable vCards for each member. I save the vCard in .vcf format with the persons photo (.jpg) but for some reason the photo is not being saved. When I view the vCard I see the placeholder image. I made the vCards inside Outlook 2010, should I be using a different program?

Answer 1

Double check to make sure that there is a photo attached to the vCard. Open the vCard in a text editor and look for a "PHOTO" property, like this:

BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:2.1
FN:John Doe
PHOTO;TYPE=JPEG:492957a0b847c934d
END:VCARD
