# Asset

The Asset (singular tense) tag retrieves single assets by their URL.

## Overview

The Asset tag's primary purpose is to retrieve [Assets](/assets.md) by their URL.  Pass the URL into the `url` parameter and voila. To say it did any more than that would be a lie.

## Example

::tabs

::tab antlers
```antlers
{{ asset url="/img/brand/logo.png" }}
  <img src="{{ url }}" alt="{{ alt }}" />
{{ /asset }}
```
::tab blade
```blade
{{-- Using Antlers Blade Components --}}
<statamic:asset
  url="/assets/logo.png"
>
	<img src="{{ $url }}" alt="{{ $alt }}" />
</statamic:asset>

{{-- Using Fluent Tags --}}
@if ($asset = Statamic::tag('asset')->src('/assets/logo.png')->fetch())
	<img src="{{ $asset->url }}" alt="{{ $asset->alt }}" />
@endif
```
