Hello,
The image component is available in App Designer as of MATLAB R2019a.

You can put an axes as the background for your app and add a startup function to populate it with your image file.
function startupFcn(app)
myImage = imread('peppers.png');
image(app.UIAxes, myImage);
end
You will want to set UIAxes title, xLabel, yLabel to blank in the Property Editor on the lower right. And XTick and YTicks = []
Best of luck.

This image will not render in App Designer, only when you run the app. It's likley the image needs to be located on your MATLAB path as well.
it is actually located on the path
solved , the first time I add a function not a callback
now it works
thanks
