# Adding an Image<a name="EN-US_TOPIC_0000001063590816"></a>

Generally, the  [<image\>](../reference/arkui-js/js-components-basic-image.md)  component is used to add images on a page. The method of using this component is similar to that of using the  **<text\>**  component.

To reference images via the  **<image\>**  component, you must create the  **common**  directory under  **js**  \>  **default**, and then store the image files in the  **common**  directory. For details about the directory structure, see  [Directory Structure](../reference/arkui-js/js-framework-file.md#section119431650182015). The following sample code shows you how to add an image and set its style.

```
<!-- xxx.hml -->
<image class="img" src="{{middleImage}}"></image>
```

```
/* xxx.css */
.img {  
  margin-top: 30px;
  margin-bottom: 30px;
  height: 385px;
}
```

```
// xxx.js
export default {
  data: {
    middleImage: '/common/ice.png',
  },
}
```
