> The QPixmap class helps hold an image in the form of off-screen image representation.

**This class is a JS wrapper around Qt's [QPixmap class](https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qpixmap.html)**

A `QPixmap` provides ability to store an image in the memory.

### Example

```javascript
const { QPixmap } = require("@nodegui/nodegui");

const imageUrl = "path/to/png";
const pixMap = new QPixmap(imageUrl);
```
