<?php foreach (get_categories() as $cat) :
$count = count(get_categories());

Shortcode
Note: if you are using any page builder like Divi and Elementor then you can use a shortcode in the page builder’s category template.
Use the shortcode in page or post or a page builder template to display a category image. The basic shortcode without attributes will only work on the category template page to display a specific category image. Use shortcode attributes term_id and size to display a specific category image and size.
[rdv_category_image]
[rdv_category_image term_id="10"]
[rdv_category_image size="thumbnail"]
[rdv_category_image term_id="10" size="thumbnail"]
