# thumbnailImageData

The thumbnail version of the contact’s profile picture.

## Declaration

```swift
var thumbnailImageData: Data? { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion The thumbnailImageData property is derived from the imageData property, including cropping information from vCards or edits from contact viewing. It is recommended that you fetch this property only when you need to access its value, such as when you need to display the contact’s profile thumbnail picture.
