2. Select the project you will work on from the Apps screen.
3. Enter the UI Design module.

4. From the Elements panel on the left side, drag the Image element under the Display category and drop it on your screen.

• If you drag the Image element to an empty space, it will automatically be added inside a Row element.
• If you drag it into a Column, only the Image element is added.

You can configure the properties of the Image element in the Properties panel on the right sidebar.

• Zoom On Click: Allows zooming in on the image by double-clicking or tapping.

PNG, JPG and SVG formats can be viewed directly in both web and iOS apps. However, SVG format is not supported in Android apps.
