Hello @sleepyboy170026bzpk, welcome to Thunkable! 🎉

The only way to pass the image into the web viewer is a URL, so you will need to upload the image to Cloudinary first.

Here are some examples: [https://community.thunkable.com/t/upload-images-to-cloudinary-using-web-api-only/1701875/8](https://community.thunkable.com/t/upload-images-to-cloudinary-using-web-api-only/1701875/8)
