You will need to draw the image yourself by overriding the paintComponent(Graphics g) method of JComponent in your JFrame implementation. See the javadoc[^] for details

Java

@Override
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g)
{
    Image img = getToolkit().getImage("filename.png");
  //Image img = getToolkit().getImage(getClass().getResource("resource.png"));

    //draw image scaled to fit the entire size
    g.drawImage(img,0,0,getWidth(),getHeight());
   
}

As an alternative, for image manipulation you can use the Graphics2D[^] class.

Good Luck!
