While avatars still cannot be set or updated through the Contacts API, HubSpot still tries to fill a contact's profile picture from its proprietary database and via social media and other sites. Gravatars, for example, are often picked up. See this article for more information.
I've been searching for a solution to this and found the idea in the HS community "ideas" so if anyone wants to go upvote for it there, I'd appreciate it - this really should be a feature and clearly there are a lot of us who need it! We can bulk upload other things for contacts, why not photos as well?
Hello @clintbieri , To the best of my knowledge, this is not currently in the pipeline, but I would suggest adding this to the ideas forum and adding a link to the idea here so that people can upvote it!
If I hear of any progress, I will make sure to update here as well.

@IsaacTakushi My contacts' photos are almost never automatically updated. Implementing an option to search Gravatar would make life much easier. The ability to add a photo by uploading allows HubSpot to check the box that says "adding a photo is possible", but we business owners also have more pressing matters to attend to. Please consider improving this functionally because right now it falls short of needs and expectations. Thank you.
Any news on that. We just evaluationg CRMs and sync out google contacts and wondering why a) there is no direct sync of contacts possible (but mail and calder, but hey! that a C!!!RM!) and then I claimed pisync not syncing pictures which works with prosperworks etc. An now I ready its not Pies fault, there is simply NO API for avatars. somehow unbelievable in a 2017 CRM.
