Images added to be used as "reference" or as "background" will not render, they are reference only. The same is valid for Images used as empties. Think of those images as "virtual" or "auxiliary objects" or with no renderable attributes (like a surface or material).

If you want a plane that uses an image as a texture then you have to enable the "add images as planes" addon in the preferences window.

enter image description here

Now you can add an image as plane. The difference is that this addon will create real object: a plane with 4 vertices and a face that uses the image as a textures on the material. This new object is renderable.

Try images as planes!

First things first: Go into Preferences,

Preferences

Select Addons then search for "Image"

Addons Image as Planes

Now tick the box, then now in "Add" you will see "Images as Planes"

Add version

It is also accessible from: File > Import > Images as Planes

Import version
