# Importing assets in Remotion
## The public folder
Place assets in the `public/` folder at your project root.
## Using staticFile()
You MUST use `staticFile()` to reference files from the `public/` folder:
```tsx
import {Img, staticFile} from 'remotion';
export const MyComposition = () => {
return ;
};
```
The function returns an encoded URL that works correctly when deploying to subdirectories.
## Using with components
**Images:**
```tsx
import {Img, staticFile} from 'remotion';
;
```
**Videos:**
```tsx
import {Video} from '@remotion/media';
import {staticFile} from 'remotion';
;
```
**Audio:**
```tsx
import {Audio} from '@remotion/media';
import {staticFile} from 'remotion';
;
```
**Fonts:**
```tsx
import {staticFile} from 'remotion';
const fontFamily = new FontFace('MyFont', `url(${staticFile('font.woff2')})`);
await fontFamily.load();
document.fonts.add(fontFamily);
```
## Remote URLs
Remote URLs can be used directly without `staticFile()`:
```tsx
```
## Important notes
