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
Common Causes
- Image path is incorrect or relative path doesn't resolve properly
- Image file is in public/ but path doesn't start with /
- Image stored outside public folder and not bundled
- CORS issue if loading from external domain
- 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

I've been working at a large software company named Kainos for 2 years, and mainly specialise in Platform Engineering. I regularly enjoy working on software products outside of work, and I'm a huge fan of game development using Unity. I personally enjoy Python & C# in my spare time, but I also specialise in multiple different platform-related technologies from my day job.
Jacek Rozanski
Senior PHP/Symfony developer and DevOps engineer with 20+ years of professional experience, running opcode.pl (web development agency, est. 2004).
Day job: I'm the sole backend developer at merketing company where I own and maintain 11 PHP/Symfony microservices on AWS (ECS Fargate, RDS, S3, CloudFront), handle the full CI/CD pipeline (Bitbucket Pipelines, Docker), and manage monitoring with Sentry and CloudWatch. These services handle high request volumes in production every month.
What I bring to AI-built apps:
- I audit and fix security issues (OWASP methodology), performance bottlenecks, and architectural problems in codebases generated by Cursor, Claude Code, Lovable, Bolt, and v0
- I refactor AI-generated prototypes into production-grade applications with proper error handling, testing, and clean architecture (SOLID, DDD, hexagonal architecture)
- I set up the infrastructure AI tools don't touch: AWS hosting, CI/CD pipelines, automated deployments, database optimization, monitoring, and alerting
- I integrate external services: payment providers, email systems, partner APIs, SSO/auth
Tech stack: PHP 8.x, Symfony, React, Next.js, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Docker, AWS (ECS, RDS, S3, SQS/SNS, CloudFront), Terraform, Supabase. I also use AI tools daily (Claude Code, Cursor) in my own workflow, so I understand both the strengths and the gaps in AI-generated code.
Based in Poland (CET timezone). Available for async work and calls during EU/US business hours.

Get HelpFrequently Asked Questions
Where should I put images?
Public folder: /public/image.jpg, then reference as /image.jpg. Or use next/image with src prop
What's the benefit of Next.js Image component?
Automatic optimization, lazy loading, responsive sizes, WebP conversion. Always use it for best performance
Why would image work locally but not on deploy?
Relative paths don't work. Use absolute /paths or next/image component
