# Serve profile image

Serve a user profile image by its file path.

Retrieve and serve a user profile image file directly. The response is the raw image binary rather than a JSON object.

#### Path Parameters

**`file_path`** string required

The file path of the profile image to serve. This value is returned in the `profile_image_url` field of the user profile.

## Returns

Returns the raw image binary with the appropriate `Content-Type` header (e.g., `image/jpeg`, `image/png`).
