Add Pictures to your App

These instructions show you how to add pictures into your project.


Permissions

You can create an image yourself, using software on your device, or save an image to your computer after searching online.

When choosing pictures, it is important to make sure that you have permission to use it, and it is always a good idea to thank whoever created it (if it does not belong to you), for example with a link to the website!

By using the link below to search for pictures, you will make sure that you only find images that are Copyright Free, so you have permission to use them for education purposes.

Image Search

If you want to create a project to share online with people other than your family, you will need to be even more careful about how you choose your images.

Remember, do not include any photos of yourself or anyone you know in your app, as the information stored on App Lab is not private or secure!


When you want to add an image, as it's own object or as part of a background, select the choose image option, then upload your saved file.

Once it is uploaded, you can use the same picture as many times as you like in your app without having to upload it again!
