How do I add an image?

Using Umbraco And Getting Started

Umbraco 7
Hello,

I'm confused about how images work. I did the following:

1) On the media page, I create a folder called "limos", and I upload an image of a limo to the limos folder.

2) I go to the content tab, select the "limo service" page, go to the tab where I have my image property, and set it to the limo image I uploaded to the Media/limos folder.

3) I go to the limo service template and type:

@Model.Content.RoverPic

This results in a number (1345) where the image is supposed to be.

So I try this:
```
<div>
    <img src="Media/limos/@Model.Content.RoverPic">
</div>
```
This results in a broken image.

So I try this:
```
<div>
    <img src="Media/limos/RangeRover_215x141.png">
</div>
```
But again, just a broken image.

How do you add an image to your page?

Hi Gibran

You will need to pass the id you get brack from @Model.Content.RoverPic to the Umbraco.TypedMedia() method.

So it should be done like this
```
@{
   var mediaId = Model.Content.RoverPic;
   var mediaItem = Umbraco.TypedMedia(mediaId);
}

<img src="@mediaItem.url" alt="" />
```
You can learn more here https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/Getting-Started/Design/Rendering-Media/

I hope this helps!

Thanks Jan,

That works with the following minor adjustments:
```
@{
  var mediaId = Model.Content.RoverPic.Id;
  var mediaItem = Umbraco.TypedMedia(mediaId);
}

<img src="@mediaItem.Url" alt="" />
```
