# Images

To help you create higher-quality apps right from the start, we’ve added support for images in AI-generated projects. This means your apps include visuals automatically when they’re created, and you can easily update or replace those images at any time.

### Creating a Project with Images

#### New Projects

When you [create a new project](/ai/getting-started/quickstart.md#id-1-project-generation-prompt), the AI automatically adds images to your app.

* If you want images included, simply mention this in your prompt.
* Be as specific as possible about the type of images you want (for example, illustrations, photos, backgrounds, or icons).

#### Existing Projects

To add images to an existing project:

* Write a clear prompt explaining exactly what images you want the AI to add.
* The AI will generate and place the images based on your instructions.

### Updating images

To update an existing image:

1. Click on the image in your project.
2. A pop-up will appear.
3. Choose a new image from Unsplash or upload your own image.

As always, you can also [ask the AI to update images](/ai/getting-started/quickstart.md#id-2-builder-screen-components) for you or [make changes directly in the code](/ai/getting-started/quickstart.md#editing-code).

### Image Size Limits

* **Maximum size per image:** 5 MB
* **Total app assets size:** 50 MB

If you exceed the total asset size limit:

1. Open the **Project Assets** tab in the pop-up.
2. Hover over an image.
3. Click the delete icon to remove it.

### Other types of images

Some images, such as icons used in navigators, buttons, or other UI elements, are handled differently.

* To update these images, ask the AI to make the change for you **or** [edit the code directly](/ai/getting-started/quickstart.md#editing-code).

**App Icon**

You can set your app’s icon when you [publish your app to Android or iOS](/ai/publishing/publishing-overview.md) by clicking on the Upload icon button:
