# Image
## Image Overview
The Image component lets you display pictures in your app and pairs nicely with image based components like the [Camera](/snap-to-place/camera.md), [Photo Library](/snap-to-place/photo-library.md), [Image Recognizer](/snap-to-place/image-recognizer.md) and [Media DB](/snap-to-place/media-db.md)
## Set Image
There are a few ways you can display an image in your app:
1. **Upload a picture to your project Files:**\
\ 
2. **Provide a link in the Image properties**\
\
3. **Take a picture with the Camera component**
The blocks above open up your phone’s camera and set the Image component to the picture that you took.
## Edit Image size
You can set how tall the Image is using the height property and set how wide it is using the width property.
**Height**
* **Fill container -** The Image fills the entire screen vertically
* **Fit contents -** The Image’s height changes to fit the contents it contains
* **Relative size -** The Image fills the specified percentage of the screen
* **Absolute size -** Sizes the Image to a specified number of pixels
**Width**
* **Fill container -** The Image fills the entire screen horizontally
* **Fit contents -** The Image’s width changes to fit the contents it contains
* **Relative size -** The Image fills the specified percentage of the screen
* **Absolute -** Sizes the Image to a specified number of pixels
### Resizing the Image
With the Resize Mode property, you can do the following:
* **Cover:** Resizes the picture to its max height or width regardless without changing the image quality.
* **Contain:** Resizes the picture to fit the area without changing its quality
* **Stretch:** The picture’s height will change to fill the image component length-wise
* **Repeat:** Repeats the picture at its original quality within the image component area
* **Center:** Positions the picture in the middle of the image component
## Style the Image
You can style the image with the following properties:
* **Border**
* **Width:** Enter how wide you want the border outline of the image to be
* **Color:** Pick a color for the border of the image
* **Radius:** Enter how round you want the edges of the border for the image to be
## Add spacing
You can change the spacing and positioning of the Image with the Margin and Padding properties.
**Margin**
* You can specify how much space you want between the edges of the image and the screen using either pixel or percent values.
