I display same photo with web again and again. But whenever I display it, it take a bit time. I want to that when I display the photo I displayed before, it doesn’t take too time. How to do that? Can I save image temporarily for that? I require image as image object due to the issue I use image slider.

Hi there,
Can you save the image as a [variable](https://docs.thunkable.com/media-db) in your app? An app variable or stored variable would work fine.

How can I save the image as a variable? With simpleBase64? Which converts image to string and does inverse. I will take maybe as string value using global variables in RAM of phone.

How are you getting the image from the web in the first place?
