Hi all,

Hope you are doing good.

I am trying to add images on my custom kibana plugin but i m getting below error. Any idea how to resolve below error in order to display static images in kibana plugin development.

**Image markup:**  
\<img src={require('../images/logo.jpg')} alt=""/\>

**Error Message :**  
Unexpected character '�' (1:0)  
You may need an appropriate loader to handle this file type.

Your advise is highly appreciated.

Thank you,

Kindest Regards,  
Faizan

@Faizan, the easiest solution is going to be to use a `.png` instead of a `.jpg` as Kibana's optimizer is only using the `url-loader` for `.pngs` [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/src/optimize/base\_optimizer.js#L240](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/src/optimize/base_optimizer.js#L240)
