By default in SharePoint a picture or image can be added to a list column in the form of URL of the image already existing on the site. One cannot browse to the location of the image/picture using upload dialog and select the picture in order to upload it as a list item. COVRI Image Upload column makes this possible. User can browse to the location of the image and upload it to the list column. The uploaded image can be replaced and if required can be deleted.
