# Upload image

The **Upload Image** action allows end users to upload an image into the 3D configurator.

**Settings**

* **Material** — Choose the material to which the uploaded image will be applied. **Note:** The image is assigned to a material, not to an object.
* **Property Selection** — Specify which material properties the uploaded image will affect. Available options include:

  * [color](https://open-2v.gitbook.com/url/help.vectary.com/documentation/design-process/materials-and-textures/basic-materials/color "mention")
  * [opacity](https://open-2v.gitbook.com/url/help.vectary.com/documentation/design-process/materials-and-textures/basic-materials/opacity "mention")
  * [emission](https://open-2v.gitbook.com/url/help.vectary.com/documentation/design-process/materials-and-textures/basic-materials/emission "mention")

  All other material properties remain unchanged, meaning the uploaded image will only be applied to the selected properties.
