    wilfredtsk,

    I add a .jpg image which is 420 kb as background image of Power BI report page in the Power BI Desktop February update version, everything works well. Could you please share me the image file? You can upload it to OneDrive and send me the shared link of the image.

    wilfredtsk,

    I can add this image when it is 449 kb. In your scenario, you can use Paint tool to  resize  the image to a proper size, then add it to Power BI Desktop.

        tks for replying. I was trying to add image as another "tile". not as background image.

        I can't attach the original image as it is sensitive, with faces of various individuals.. Found a very similar one online...
