# Use the ActionSet GetImage action

# Use the ActionSet GetImage action {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia  
Updated March 12, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Capture images from the desktop, Windows applications, and web pages
on the Internet Explorer browser by using the GetImage component in RPA Desktop Design Studio.

## Before you begin

Capture an image of the target application window and create an anchor. For information about how to do this, see [Use the ActionSet component](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/URveIVgzqCI4oQOWUaeQCA "The ActionSet component lets an automation interact with Windows applications (such as web browsers) and with Citrix applications. Using this single component in RPA Desktop Design Studio, you can click, drag, read and set text, interact with tables, and more, combining several user actions into a single task.").

Role required: none

## About this task

The ActionSet Get Image action captures an image from the area that you specify in the ActionSet Settings window. For example, you can use it to capture a product image or a user's profile picture.

You can configure the properties for the GetImage component. For more information
about these properties, see [ActionSet- Get Image properties](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/Af_ctKxTJEiwgJ~I3H9ewg#actionset-actions-properties__ActionSet-getimage).

## Procedure

1. Right-click the anchor.  
   To know about the anchor, see how to use the [Anchor](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/2iRcql2x0hV0bhWL1NHuqw "An anchor is a unique identifier which is identified on the screen. It helps specify the target area for a simulated user interaction by defining a static area from which actions can be defined at a relative distance. The position of actions is calculated based on the anchor and the actions are performed relative to it.").
2. Click Get Image.
3. Drag the green rectangle icon (![Green rectangle icon.]()) over the location of the image that you want to capture.  
   If necessary, adjust the size of the selection rectangle by dragging its edges.
4. **Optional:** In the Properties pane of the ActionSet Settings window, configure the properties of the Get Image action.  
   For example, you can set a delay or change the name of the action.
5. **Optional:** To change the default area in the image covered by the green rectangle icon (![Green rectangle icon.]()), do the following steps.
   1. Place the mouse device along the edges of the green rectangle icon (![Green rectangle icon.]()).  
      The mouse device turns into a two-sided arrow (![Two-sided arrow]()).
   2. Drag the edges of the green rectangle icon (![Green rectangle icon.]()).
6. Close the ACTIONSET SETTINGS window.
7. **Optional:** If you didn't hide the port for the GetImage parameter in Step 4, connect the port so the action can transmit the captured image for use.  
   The GetImage parameter is described in the following table.

   | Port type | Port name | Data type | Purpose of connection |
   |-|-|-|-|
   | Data Out | Table | Bitmap | Sends the captured image to another component. |
