Can't set source image for UI image

Unity Engine

This is as simple as it gets. :slight_smile: How do I set a source image for a UI image?

I cannot drag and drop it from assets to source image. Also when I press the circle next to source image I get a very limited amount of images I can choose from, how do I add my own images here?

Make sure that your textures are set to “Sprite (2D and UI)” when using for 2D or UI.

how?

In case you have not found a solution already, just click on the image → at the Texture Type area → click the drop down menu and select Sprite(2D and UI).

Can also use Raw Image instead of Image Component

No you need to use image not raw image because it does not have a option for source image.

Hello, you have to select your image and change the texture type area.
Your image have to on directory Assets

Thanks. In case the answer was unclear to anyone finding this (as it was to me), the setting you’re looking on is not on your Image component, but your asset itself, seen through an inspector when you click on it in your assets.
