title: Static Assets
---
In general, every website needs assets: images, stylesheets, favicons and etc. In such cases, you can create a directory named `static` at the root of your project. Every file you put into that directory will be copied into the the root of the generated `build` folder with the directory hierarchy preserved. E.g. if you add a file named `sun.jpg` to the static folder, itll be copied to `build/sun.jpg`.
This means that if the site's `baseUrl` is `/`, an image in `/static/img/docusaurus_keytar.svg` is available at `<baseUrl>/docusaurus_keytar.svg`.
<!-- TODO: Yangshun: This is inaccurate for sites with a non '/' baseUrl -->
## Referencing your static asset
You can reference assets from the static folder in your code with absolute path, i.e. starting with a slash /.
### Markdown example
```markdown
<!-- reference static/img/docusaurus.png -->
![Docusaurus logo](/img/docusaurus.png)
```
Result:
![Docusaurus logo](/img/docusaurus.png)
### JSX example
```jsx
// reference static/img/slash-birth.png
<img src="/img/slash-birth.png" alt="docusaurus mascot" />
```
Result:
<img src="/img/slash-birth.png" alt="docusaurus mascot" />
Keep in mind that:
- None of the files in static folder will be post-processed or minified.
- Missing files will not be called at compilation time, and will result in a 404 error.
