yes you can.by using an alternate way

use text object with image then you can drag it to small size and move it to dimension label and then in help text(in caption tab)write whats you convey the message.

Badi ,

Just take texbox and then set that image in it

--then fix it at the Caption

--make it unmovable

1) Create a field that references the images (either storing just a path, or a do an INFO load on a separate table)

2) Use this field in the table (or even text box). If it is a INFO load, you will have to use qmem syntax

3) Choose the Image representation (in the expression tab): the default is TEXT

I have published a doc on LOAD. There is a chapter (3.8) dedicated on that topic.

Hi Mambi Badi

Yes you can. What you need to do is follow all the steps to bundle the image in QlikView and then click on the "Advanced" button and choose "Info as Image" under Representation. See attached.
