# Pictures

1. Select the shape by `name` you want to modify. See [here](/knowledge-base/finding-shape-names.md) to find shape names.
2. Insert path of new image to `filename` property. This can be:
   1. a downloadable URL link as a string
   2. or a file attachment

Note: The new image will automatically inherit the size and positioning of the existing image placeholder.
