ImageLabel

Show deprecated

An ImageLabel renders a rectangle, like a Frame does, with an image. The image must be a decal uploaded to the Roblox website. The display of the image can be manipulated through the ImageLabel/ImageColor3 and ImageLabel/ImageTransparency properties. To display only the image and hide the rectangle, set GuiObject/BackgroundTransparency to 1.

The image is scaled to fit the entirety of the rectangle, but remember that images look best when displayed at their native resolution. Before uploading your image asset, you may want to apply alpha bleeding and take a few more steps when building UI for high-DPI devices (like phones).

Advanced ImageLabel usage

  • Spritesheets can be used with ImageLabel through the use of ImageLabel/ImageRectOffset and ImageLabel/ImageRectSize. Packing multiple images into one and using this property can make your game’s image assets load much quicker, especially if you use many small icons in your GUIs.
  • 9-slice images can be created by setting ImageLabel/ScaleType to Enum.ScaleType.Slice, then ImageLabel/SliceCenter to the center area of the 9-slice image.
  • Tiled images can be created by setting ImageLabel/ScaleType to Enum.ScaleType.Tiled, then ImageLabel/TileSize to be the size of rendered tiles.
