After you have imported an image to your project, for the most intuitive results, it’s recommended that you apply certain import settings for Textures, SpritesA 2D graphic objects. If you are used to working in 3D, Sprites are essentially just standard textures but there are special techniques for combining and managing sprite textures for efficiency and convenience during development.

See in Glossary, and Vector images before you use them as a background for a visual elementA node of a visual tree that instantiates or derives from the C# VisualElement class. You can style the look, define the behaviour, and display it on screen as part of the UI. More info
