    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.

    Regards,
    Lydia

    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.

Hi Lydia, 

 

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...

        Hello,

        First my apologies if I'm breaking a forum rule (asking a question within a question). I'm having a related challenge using PowerBI desktop.

         

        I've tried both *.jpg and *.png

         

        PowerBI Desktop:

        • I can insert an image both as a tile or as a background. The image I insert displays correctly.

        PowerBI on the Web

        • I can publish my dashboard report from PowerBI Desktop to PowerBI on the web. The image I inserted displays correctly.

        PowerBI Publish to the Web feature

        • I create a link using the Publish to the Web feature from PowerBI on the Web. The dashboard publishes.

        PowerBI Dashboard Web Page

        • PROBLEM: - When I open the dashboard using the link generated by the Publish to the Web feature, everything displays correctly (text boxes, visualizations) EXCEPT the image I inserted either as a tile or as a background image.

        Goal

        • Have the image (map) display on PowerBI Dashboard webpage.

         

        Is there something in options I should enable or ?? what am I doing incorrectly?

         

        Big thank you in advance for any help you provide.

         

        Here's the link to the PowerBI Dashboard Web Page. It is a work in process so from time to time the map page may not be there because I'm presenting this to my leadership.
