The image primitive shows an image on a flat plane.

Example

<a-scene>
<a-assets>
<img id="my-image" src="image.png">

<!-- Using the asset management system. -->
<a-image src="#my-image"></a-image>

<!-- Defining the URL inline. Not recommended but more comfortable for web developers. -->
<a-image src="another-image.png"></a-image>
</a-scene>

Fine-Tuning

Ensuring that the image is not distorted by stretching requires us to appropriately set the width and height.
