Do you want to upload images to the app while developing it or do you want to have users upload their own images?

You can upload images to Cloudinary and get a url that you save in a local data source or cloud data source. See this: [Files Blocks | Thunkable Docs](https://docs.thunkable.com/blocks/app-features/files-blocks).

Welcome to Thunkable! 🥳 🎊

You can save the image URL in a variable (same thing with name) and use this variable wherever you want, as long as they are in the respective components.

It’s recommended you use an **app variable** rather than a stored or cloud variable, so that it can reset to `""` when reopening the app.
