# images

An array of image objects in all pasteboard items.

```
var images: [UIImage]? { get set }
```

## Discussion

The value stored in this property is an array of [`UIImage`](/documentation/UIKit/UIImage) objects. The associated array of representation types is [`typeListImage`](/documentation/UIKit/UIPasteboard/typeListImage), which includes types `kUTTypePNG` and `kUTTypeJPEG`. Setting this property replaces all current items in the pasteboard with the new items. The returned array may have fewer objects than the number of pasteboard items; this happens if a pasteboard item does not have a value of the indicated type.

> Note:
> Do not use this property to determine if a pasteboard contains image data. Instead, use the ``doc://com.apple.uikit/documentation/UIKit/UIPasteboard/hasImages`` property.
