Image Pro — Tips & Support
Image Pro is the Microsoft‑certified version of Image, ideal for enterprise deployments and export workflows. Fine‑tune sizing, fit, borders, and shadows while maintaining performance and accessibility.
Tips and Tricks
Use images sparingly
Remember, serialized image data in your dataset has to be deserialized to be displayed. This will always be slower than direct URL access.
Use proper database design
Images are part of your dataset. Make sure you are joining on int/number columns to locate or combine images.
Right‑size and compress
Choose resolutions close to display size and modern formats (e.g., WebP) when appropriate. Because of string storage limits, your maximum image size will be about 1.6 mb.
Object fit and alignment
Try contain or cover to preserve aspect ratios. Combine with alignment options for precise framing.
Performance at scale
Keep file sizes modest and validate in Power BI Service, especially with many visuals per page.
Certification considerations
Certified visuals meet Microsoft criteria for security and reliability; follow organizational governance for deployment.
Accessibility
Provide meaningful labels/titles in your dataset and ensure adequate contrast for any overlays.
