I have a requirement to display a grid view of employees (coming from a SharePoint list) on a page with their profile pictures. I was thinking I could do this with content query web part but I am facing a hurdle while displaying their profile picture.

Does anyone have pointers?

Hi,

According to your description, my understanding is that you want to display user profile pictures in the content query web part.

I suggest you can use ECMAScript to display user profile pictures with custom XSL.

Here is a similiar thread for your reference:

Here is a detailed code demo for your reference:
