How it's used
Refers specifically to visual representations like digital files, graphics, or icons rather than physical photographs or paintings. While it functions as a formal term for images in technical or academic contexts, it is increasingly common in everyday speech when discussing computer files or screen displays.

Common mistake
Avoid using this to refer to a photograph of a person or a scenic view, as 相 or 相片 is the standard term for those. Using 圖像 for a personal photo sounds overly clinical or technical, as if you are describing a data object rather than a memory.
