How to load image from File 

Java Image IO provides pluggable architecture for accessing images transparently. It is simple, flexible and allows us to plugin various image readers and writers with ease. The following example shows loading an image from file as swing label image icon.

package com.bethecoder.tutorials.imageio;

import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;

import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;

public class LoadImageFromFileTest {

  /**
   @param args
   @throws IOException 
   */
  public static void main(String[] argsthrows IOException {

    File file = new File("C:/Temp/stpatricks_08.gif");
    BufferedImage bufImage = ImageIO.read(file);

    JFrame frame = new JFrame("Image loaded from File");
    JLabel label = new JLabel(new ImageIcon(bufImage));
    frame.getContentPane().add(label, BorderLayout.CENTER);
    frame.pack();
    frame.setVisible(true);
  }

}
   

It gives the following output,
