# Images

Add images and symbols to your app’s user interface.

## Overview

Overview Display images, including SF Symbols, images that you store in an asset catalog, and images that you store on disk, using an Image view.

For images that take time to retrieve — for example, when you load an image from a network endpoint — load the image asynchronously using AsyncImage. You can instruct that view to display a placeholder during the load operation. For design guidance, see Images in the Human Interface Guidelines.
