Loading an image file into a GPU texture is outside of the scope of Dear ImGui and has more to do with your Graphics API. Because this is such a recurring issue for Dear ImGui users, we are providing a guide here.
This guide will have us load an image file from disk and display it in a Dear ImGui window.

## Rendering your game scene into a texture
This guide covers loading an image file from disk and turning it into a GPU texture. Another frequent use of textures is wanting to rendering your application/game scene into a texture and then display that texture inside a Dear ImGui window.
This is not covered by this guide, however you should first read this guide in order to get a better understanding of how texture works. Then you can look up resources about rendering to a texture, e.g.
