To add an image to your app, choose the Image icon in the Toolbar, then position it on the Design Screen. Use the Property Editor to set the properties you need, then add functions to your code to respond to the events that come from the button: usually, just onclick.
 
Images should be in your project folder or a subfolder.  
 
If you want to display an image at actual size, set width and height to auto. Otherwise, the image will be scaled to the size you specify.

If you are using AppStudio on Mac OS or on Windows 10, the color profile of your images needs to be set to a standard value, such as Adobe RGB. You will get error message (which can be ignored) until you fix this. The message you will get will be something like "AppStudio Warning iCCP: known incorrect sRGH profile". Use an image processing app to correct the color profile of your image.
