# About Picture Display

Use a Picture Display to view and change images.

## Image File Format

Only .png format is supported in display unit.

In screen editing software, if you import other formats (.jpg, .bmp and .gif) of image file to the internal memory of display unit, then image file is automatically converted to .png format in display unit.
