# Images

This covers how to load images such as JPGs PNGs into a document format that we can use downstream.

## Using Unstructured

    from langchain.document_loaders.image import UnstructuredImageLoader

    loader = UnstructuredImageLoader("layout-parser-paper-fast.jpg")

    data = loader.load()

    data[0]

### Retain Elements

Under the hood, Unstructured creates different “elements” for different chunks of text. By default we combine those together, but you can easily keep that separation by specifying `mode="elements"`.

    loader = UnstructuredImageLoader("layout-parser-paper-fast.jpg", mode="elements")

    data = loader.load()
