Hello Magento Friends,
In this blog, we will learn How to Display Thumbnail Image on UI Component Grid in Magento 2.
Customization is the key feature of Magento. One of the customization features is adding an additional column to the UI component grid. Adding a thumbnail image column to the UI component grid in Magento 2 admin is useful for displaying product images, customer avatars, and other images related to your data. This will enhance the visual representation of your Magento 2 admin grid.
Let’s find out the steps to display thumbnail images on the UI component grid in Magento 2.

Step 2: Now move to the below path
app/code/Vendor/Extension/view/adminhtml/ui_component/custom_grid_listing.xml
Then add the code below
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<listing xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:module:Magento_Ui:etc/ui_configuration.xsd">

</columns>
</listing>
You need to add an image column in the above file and also set the Thumbnail file path.
Step 3: Create the below file
app/code/Vendor/Extension/Ui/Component/Listing/Grid/Column/Thumbnail.php
Add the code as given below
<?php
namespace Vendor\Extension\Ui\Component\Listing\Grid\Column;
use Magento\Framework\UrlInterface;
use Magento\Framework\View\Element\UiComponentFactory;
use Magento\Framework\View\Element\UiComponent\ContextInterface;
use Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface;
use Magento\Ui\Component\Listing\Columns\Column;
class Thumbnail extends Column
{
const ALT_FIELD = 'title';
protected $storeManager;
public function __construct(
ContextInterface $context,
UiComponentFactory $uiComponentFactory,
UrlInterface $urlBuilder,
StoreManagerInterface $storeManager,
array $components = [],
array $data = []
) {
$this->storeManager = $storeManager;
$this->urlBuilder = $urlBuilder;
parent::__construct($context, $uiComponentFactory, $components, $data);
}
public function prepareDataSource(array $dataSource)
{
if(isset($dataSource['data']['items'])) {
$fieldName = $this->getData('name');
foreach($dataSource['data']['items'] as & $item) {
$url = '';
if($item[$fieldName] != '') {
$url = $this->storeManager->getStore()->getBaseUrl(
\Magento\Framework\UrlInterface::URL_TYPE_MEDIA
).'Vendor/Extension/'.$item[$fieldName];
}
$item[$fieldName . '_src'] = $url;
$item[$fieldName . '_alt'] = $this->getAlt($item) ?: '';
$item[$fieldName . '_link'] = $this->urlBuilder->getUrl(
'path/to/your/image/',
['id' => $item['id']]
);
$item[$fieldName . '_orig_src'] = $url;
}
}
return $dataSource;
}
protected function getAlt($row)
{
$altField = $this->getData('config/altField') ?: self::ALT_FIELD;
return isset($row[$altField]) ? $row[$altField] : null;
}
}
Output:
Now, navigate to your custom grid in the admin panel, and you should see a new column displaying thumbnail images.
