Just because you’re in a hurry doesn’t mean anyone here has to rush to help you. Please be respectful of other people on these forums.

If you really do need immediate help then you should pay for a Pro subscription so that you can get faster assistance from the staff here. But otherwise, the people you’re asking to hurry up and help you are just other users like you… we volunteer our time to help each other.

Start by explaining more about what you’re wanting to do, what you’ve tried and what happens when you use certain settings/blocks. One sentence is usually not enough information to provide in order to get help here.

You will need to host the images somewhere in the cloud. You can do this with a Cloudinary account and then add the urls to Thunkable in a local DB (database) or Google Sheet.

Make the URL public.  
So every one can Read it with the link.  
Then Just simply add a set image picture block.  
And add a string to it and put the URL in it.

No, sorry, but you can start working on a project and look through the many tutorials and Thunkable documentation about how to do things like this and then ask specific questions when you have them.

You can drag a text block onto the ride side of a “set image’s picture to” block and then type or paste in a url:

Yep @tatiang has the example i meant.  
But i call it a string instead of a text block.

@info65, please recheck your urls, and their preview also,  
And if does not solve your query, please add some screenshots for better understanding of the error.

Hi, thanks for reply. I have checked urls. I have also now tried to use Cloudinary and it still does not display images. The image urls are set to public view. I have included screen shots showing data source table and also thunkable screen where images should show. It pulls in all my other data but not the images.
