$\begingroup$ @Meri the background image in the 3d_view is for reference only( modeling reference) , it does not show up in the render $\endgroup$– ChebhouCommented Apr 27, 2015 at 10:19

the easy way is to enable the Addon that does exactly that :
- go to File➝ User_Preferences
- click on the Addon tab search for Import Image, check it and click Save
- go to File ➝Import ➝ Import_Image_as_Plane
- select your image and click Import
- position your camera and render ( you may need to tweak light )
to setup easily the render after adding the image as plane :
- switch to Cycles Render Engine
- in 3d_view hit Num 7 (this the top view)
- hit Ctrl+Alt+0 to set the camera in this view (you can move the camera up and down to fit the image )
- enable Ambient Occlusion in the world tab
- press F12 to render
