+## Uri Data Images
+
+Sometimes, you might be getting encoded image data from a REST API call. You can use the `'data:'` uri scheme to use these images. Same as for network resources, *you will need to manually specify the dimensions of your image*.
+
+> This is recommended for very small and dynamic images only, like icons in a list from a DB.
+
+```javascript
+// include at least width and height!
+<Image style={{width: 51, height: 51, resizeMode: Image.resizeMode.contain}} source={{uri: 'data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAADMAAAAzCAYAAAA6oTAqAAAAEXRFWHRTb2Z0d2FyZQBwbmdjcnVzaEB1SfMAAABQSURBVGje7dSxCQBACARB+2/ab8BEeQNhFi6WSYzYLYudDQYGBgYGBgYGBgYGBgYGBgZmcvDqYGBgmhivGQYGBgYGBgYGBgYGBgYGBgbmQw+P/eMrC5UTVAAAAABJRU5ErkJggg=='}}/>

 ### Cache Control (iOS Only)
 
 In some cases you might only want to display an image if it is already in the local cache, i.e. a low resolution placeholder until a higher resolution is available. In other cases you do not care if the image is outdated and are willing to display an outdated image to save bandwidth. The `cache` source property gives you control over how the network layer interacts with the cache.
