Note: This documentation is for the old 0.5.0 version of A-Frame. Check out the documentation for the current 1.6.0 version

The image primitive shows an image on a flat plane.

Example

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

  <!-- 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.
