Image Element Not Displaying - src Attribute Issues

Images aren't showing on the page. You see the broken image icon or blank space where images should be.

The image tag exists in HTML but the source isn't loading.

Error Messages You Might See

Broken image icon showing 404 Not Found - image resource Image failed to load CORS error loading image
Broken image icon showing404 Not Found - image resourceImage failed to loadCORS error loading image

Common Causes

  1. Image path is incorrect or relative path doesn't resolve properly
  2. Image file is in public/ but path doesn't start with /
  3. Image stored outside public folder and not bundled
  4. CORS issue if loading from external domain
  5. Image lazy loading but loading attribute wrong

How to Fix It

For static files in public folder: use absolute path /image.jpg not ./image.jpg

Use Next.js Image component: import Image from 'next/image'; ...

For dynamic sources: ensure URL is accessible from browser (not internal API)

Check Network tab in DevTools - does image request get 404 or 403?

Use alt attribute always for accessibility and SEO
