I always wanted to ask , why can't we import our images in our server via Pawn? It's impossible or it's disabled in SA-MP itself?
It would be good if we could add images on log-in menu and stuff

Because, according to the SA-MP developer, this is just a mod for an existing game, not a stand-alone new game; it means the developer wants to keep the "San Andreas" spirit instead of soaking it with fancy stuff like Multi Theft Auto does. Likewise, there are other reasons, such as server availability (not having to download anything to play) and player safety (not having to download unknown files from unknown sources which could easily be malware). I'm sure more than one owner would try to act funny and put pornography, gore, or if they're tech savvy, turn the "image" into a malicious file.

I suggest you to not suggest it furthermore, you'll only get ignored. It's been suggested literally dozens of times but it's never going to happen, much like serverside mods and stuff like that. This is San Andreas Multiplayer, not Make Your Own Game + San Andreas Multiplayer.

While there's no native support for images, you can use the already existing game sprites (textdraws) or use this tool: https://sampforum.blast.hk/showthread.php?tid=274064 to convert images to textdraws. It only supports small images, though.
