Microsoft Power BI is rolling out a major update to its image visual, giving report creators more flexibility and interactivity. The new features include state-based formatting (hover, pressed, default), richer styling options, and enhanced image source control. With these improvements, images in reports can now be more dynamic, branded, and responsive.

Here’s what you need to know:

State-based customization
Style your image visual across multiple interaction states — All, Default, Hover, and Pressed — to create richer, more responsive report experiences.
Rich styling controls
Power BI now offers more precise control over backgrounds, borders, and shapes, making it easier to align the image visual with your report’s design.
Image sources and effects
You can now pull images from URLs, data columns, or device uploads, and fine-tune them with improved fit options and effects like exposure, contrast, saturation, and blur.
How to get started
Insert an Image Visual from the Insert tab or Visualizations pane, choose your style and state, and start customizing to bring your report visuals to life.
