# Images

The biggest advantage the Kickstand UI image component brings is the ability to lazy-load off-screen images and control when they get loaded. This example is above the fold so it will load right away because it is already above the fold, but the image at the bottom of this page will be lazy-loaded.

<ks-img src="/images/demo/superstitious.jpg" alt="Michael Scott" lazy></ks-img>
