Add a custom preview image

This section describes how to add a custom preview image to your visualization extension. The preview image is displayed in the preview window which is accessed by selecting the visualization extension from the library.

Do the following:

1. Create a new image and save it as a PNG file. It should be saved in the same folder as your other extension files.

   Note: The recommended size for a custom preview image is 140 x 140 pixels.

2. Update the QEXT file by adding the preview property as shown below. This example uses the Qlik Sense logo as an image.

   {
   "name" : "Extension Tutorial - Hello World",
   "description" : "Extension Tutorial, Simple Hello World.",
   "icon" : "extension",
   "preview" : "qlik-sense-logo.png",
   "type" : "visualization",
   "version": "0.1",
   "author": "Your Name"
   }
   

You have now added a custom preview image.
