9 patch images allow you to choose the area of the image that can be scaled and the area that should keep unscaled, unlike the regular images that are scaled along height and width in the same way.

For example this image, where the corners will not be scaled

It is useful for layouts that can vary greatly in size.

To control scaling in regular images you can use ScaleType property of ImageView
