The Syncfusion® .NET MAUI Image Editor (SfImageEditor) supports setting various image sources, such as Stream, URI, File, and Resource images. This guide explains how to configure different image sources using the Source property.

Load an image into the image editor using the Source property through the following image sources.

• Stream
• URL
• Local file
• Resource file.

Stream:
To load an image into the image editor using a Stream, you can follow this code sample:

public MainPage()
{
   InitializeComponent();
   SfImageEditor imageEditor = new SfImageEditor();
   Assembly assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
   imageEditor.Source = ImageSource.FromStream(() => assembly.GetManifestResourceStream("DifferentImageSources.Resources.Images.buildingimage.jpeg"));
   this.Content = imageEditor;
}

URL:
To load an image from a URL into the image editor, use the following approach:

<ContentPage>
   <imageEditor:SfImageEditor Source="https://dummyimage.com/300x200/000/fff.png"/>
</ContentPage> 

Local file:
To load an image from a local file path into the image editor, use this sample code:

<ContentPage>
   <imageEditor:SfImageEditor Source="D:\KB\buildingimage.jpeg"/>
</ContentPage>

Follow these steps to load an image into the image editor through the resource file.

• Add the image to the Resources folder in the .NET MAUI project using the drag-and-drop option.
