Working with Images in Flutter

Learn how to effectively use and manage images in your Flutter applications, including loading, displaying, and optimizing images for better performance.

Images in Flutter

  • In Flutter, images are an essential part of building visually appealing applications. Flutter provides several ways to work with images, including loading images from assets, network, and file system.

If you want to load the image from URL

Image.network('https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1500835556837-99ac94a94552?w=600&auto=format&fit=crop&q=60&ixlib=rb-4.1.0&ixid=M3wxMjA3fDB8MHxzZWFyY2h8Nnx8dHJhdmVsbGluZ3xlbnwwfHwwfHx8MA%3D%3D')

If you want to load the image from assets

  1. First, create directory images in your project root and add your image there.
  2. Then, go to pubspec.yaml file and add the following lines:
flutter:
  assets:
    - images/

//TODO: Add a ss and link of youtube video explaining this step 3. Finally, use the Image.asset widget to display the image:

Image.asset('assets/images/your_image.png')

//TODO: Add a ss and link of youtube video explaining this step
