# How to add images to Power BI reports

To add images to your Power BI report, all you need to do is to include image URLs as a dimension in your query and change the data category to Image URL on the Power BI side.

Note that the image URL must be directly accessible via a link without signing in on a specific resource, such as SharePoint. The following image formats are supported:

- `bmp`
- `jpg, jpeg`
- `gif`
- `png`
- `svg`

## Instructions

1. When creating a query for Power BI, make sure you select a dimension with the image URLs.
2. Load the query data into Power BI.
3. Select the column that contains the image URLs under the **Data** tab.
4. Go to the **Column tools** menu in the **Power BI** ribbon.
5. Set the **Data category** to **Image URL**.

See [Microsoft's instructions for more information about how to manage images in Power BI tables](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/power-bi-images-tables).
