class UMG Blueprint Since 4.5

Inherits: UObjectBase › UObjectBaseUtility › UObject › UVisual › UWidget › UImage

#include "Components/Image.h"

Description

Displays a Slate brush, texture, or material in the UI. Use SetBrushFromTexture(), SetBrushFromMaterial(), or SetBrush() to change the displayed image at runtime.

Signature

class UImage : public UWidget

Caveats & Gotchas

• Direct property access for Brush and ColorAndOpacity was deprecated in UE 5.2. Use the setter functions.
• Setting a dynamic material instance on UImage allows per-pixel shader effects on UI — use SetBrushFromMaterial() and then SetColorAndOpacity for tinting.
• Textures displayed by UImage must have 'UserInterface2D' texture group set for correct mip handling and compression.

Example

Change image texture at runtime C++

UTexture2D* NewTexture = LoadObject<UTexture2D>(nullptr, TEXT("/Game/UI/Icons/T_Sword"));
if (NewTexture)
{
    WeaponIcon->SetBrushFromTexture(NewTexture);
}
