How to add an image to the PyQt5 window

Implementation

Load the image with QPixmap(), which will accept the image path as a parameter and returns an instance of QPixmap.

pixmap = QPixmap('nature.png')

Attach Qpixmap instance to label.

label.setPixmap(pixmap)

The following code snippet will create a PyQt5 window and load an image on it:

Line 6: Create a Window class.
Line 13: Set window title. It will be displayed on top of the window.
Line 16: Set Geometry, It will set the window size, here the width is 500 and height is 500.
Line 19: Create an instance of QLabel and assign it to the label variable.
Line 22: Create an instance of QPixmap(), by passing the image path as a parameter and assigning the instance to pixmap.
Line 25: Set pixmap to label.

from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *
from PyQt5.QtGui import QPixmap
import sys
class Window(QMainWindow):
	def __init__(self):
		super().__init__()
		self.acceptDrops()
		# set window title
		self.setWindowTitle("Load Image on Window")
		# set window size
		self.setGeometry(0, 0, 500, 500)
		# Create an instance of label
		self.label = QLabel(self)
		
		# Load image
		self.pixmap = QPixmap('nature.png')
		# Set image to label
		self.label.setPixmap(self.pixmap)
        # Resize the label according to image size
		self.label.resize(self.pixmap.width(),
						self.pixmap.height())
		# show the widgets
		self.show()
# Instantiate pyqt5 application
App = QApplication(sys.argv)
# create window instance
window = Window()
# start the app
sys.exit(App.exec())
