Make sure that two things in your app arew not named the same way, also if you have previously uploaded an image with the same name, it searches for the previous one ---

Hi, I do not know why you need an image with a specific name, but the output can be the conversion of the image to base64 format (there are many services on the Internet to encode images into this format)… This method is good because when using it there is no need to upload the image as assets into the project. It also allows you to locally dynamically upload images and work with them in text form, including sending by email, etc. [Use base64 encoded images](http://community.thunkable.com/t/use-base64-encoded-images/35254?u=actech) ---

> [@Franz\_Jonshon](#): > > hello i think i found a bug whit the images, i replaced an image of my project and uploaded a new one. did not worked anymore. Thanks for reporting this, @Franz_Jonshon. We will investigate. One thing that you might try, as a workaround, is to either delete all the data for the Thunkable live test app (if you know how to do that on your phone) or delete and reinstall the app. That should clear out any existing files associated with the app and allow you to proceed. -Mark ---

Hi, Unfortunately this problem occurs even on updated apps already published. It would be better if we don’t need to change the image’s name each time, as some formulas including a special action depending on the image displayed also needs to be changed. ---

I asked for this two years ago and it’s still not fixed. But please comment on this feature request because it will show that there is more interest in it: > > > \*\*Is your feature request related to a problem?

Delete the existing asset. > 2. Upload the new asset with the same name. > 3.
