About Image Content data instances
Image Content instances provide an alternative to binary file rules, to store images that:
- are widely used across multiple applications
- look the same for all users, and
- are rarely updated.
For example, you can use an Image Content data instance to identify each division in an organization.

Where referenced
You can reference data content image instances in two ways. The first is to write out a reference to the image cleartext URL in HTML code:
<img src="https://docs-previous.pega.com/../datacontent/Image/filePath/fileName.fileType">This URL is consistent and reusable.
The second way is by using the contentURL JSP tag, which will generate the same cleartext URL as if one had written it as a cleartext URL:
<img src="<pega:contentURL name="fileName.fileType path="/filePath/" classType="Image" />">The contentURL JSP tag creates a constant, reusable cleartext URL.
For example: To reference an image with the file name "profilepicture," the file path "/operatorimages/" and the file type "jpg," you could do this in one of two ways:
<img src="https://docs-previous.pega.com/../datacontent/Image/operatorimages/foo.jpg">
or
<img src="p:contentURL name="foo.jpg" path="/operatorimages/" classType="image"/>"/>
Both of these references generate the same cleartext URL for the image.
