My Classic was the last phone I stored all my contacts just on the phone itself (no Google syncing) and 1st where I put pictures for my favorites. My Mom's contact entry has a different variation of a contact picture that I haven't been able to find on my computer just by going to the folder where I expect it to be, so I gotta take some time to track it down. In the event I am unable to find it, there's gotta be a way to extract that contact picture without pixelating it. I finished setting up my KEY2 last night and can't believe that even to now the Big G still messes up at least half the contact pictures whenever you switch phones because syncing shrinks the contact pic to Google then re-enlarges it back on the new phone. Not that big a deal for me as I only put pictures for maybe 15 or 20 of my contacts but I imagine there are people out there who put for a lot more.

An odd trick to get them not pixelated... open the contact as if to edit it, don't change anything, and then save it. Most images will cycle again and appear less pixelated. Also, not sure why you think it's a Google issue unless you're you're actually using the Google Contacts app. It's a BB Contacts thing otherwise.

I'm using BB Contacts. It would even look a little pixelated in the contacts list within the phone app. I changed Mom's pic to something else on my KEY2 for the time being but the original one I want is still her contact pic on the Classic since that phone doesn't sync to Google. I want to be able to get that contact pic in jpg.

Also is it definitely BB Contacts? I know Google Contacts does it too. When I set up my sister's Pixel 2 during New Year's, she was coming from an LG, same thing happened after I logged into her Gmail and pulled up her contacts. To use Mom as an example again, I texted her Mom's pic looks pixelated and faded like it was a picture from the 80s even though it was from like only 2 Christmases ago. My pic didn't look too hot either.

I have noticed this too on my android tester, syncing my Classic to Google, then Google back to an android phone.

It also doesn't update pictures changed on the Classic to the android.

Share a contact to box or onedrive, from there change its properties to txt.The picture should be embedded in there as a lot of text. Base64; I think. At that point there are a few ways to get it looking better through a webpage.You can add it as a url('data:image/png;base64, ..); or src();
Need an image format that scales such as svg or a really really good png or contacts just won't look good.

So upload it somewhere. Rename it from .vcf to .txt. The next part don't quite understand. The picture I originally uploaded was a medium-sized jpeg.

Damn, its easier than it sounds really.
The image should look like this
"PHOTO;TYPE=JPEG;ENCODING=B:/..."
That ton of text just needs to be embedded into an HTML5 image or CSS background like this.

or
<div style="background-image:url('data:image/jpeg;base64, ...')"></div>
If you get it onto an html document you can adjust it from there.
