Previous answer is correct, however if image is large, I would suggest using chunks and streams:

public Result send() throws FileNotFoundException {
    FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(new File("some_path/test.jpeg"));
    response().setContentType("image/jpeg");
    return ok(fis);
}

Do not really know what version of play are you using but this should work for 2.X

public static Result returnImage(){     
    return ok(new File("public/img/1.jpg")).as("image/jpg");  
}

Here you can see that ok() can receive a File as a parameter. To check all the options you can go to Play Framework JavaDocs.

Hope it helps!
