This video tutorial will show you how you can set up a reference image in blender 2.9. I focus myself on blender beginners and low poly models. Add the correct reference background and start your blender model.

Thank you, this was very solid to help me understand and get started
Great video! I am using Blender (or a program of its kind) for the very first time. I don't know the hotkeys yet, but once I get them down this video will be great! Thanks for putting it out there and in such a brief video; there's nothing worse than watching a 20 min video and gaining nothing from that watch. This is giving me a great foundation!!!
This was very helpful! Thank you!
WOW, really simple thing, but for years has been really difficult for me. and I just did it. really happy. THANKS :)
Wow! One of the best blender beginner tutorials of all time lol! Thanks
had to watch 200 vids and this was the best to actually learn smith useful
Thank you so much for these videos. Very helpful!

Do you know if 2.93 changed something regarding the reference images? Because I added an image just like you did, but when turning on X-Ray I can't see the image through the mesh.

Not that i'm aware off. Make sure you are in front view (numpad 1), have the reference image behind your mesh, select your mesh, go to edit mode & then select x-ray mode (alt + z). Hopefully it should work then :)
