Cursor ui

Images Not Loading After Path Changes

Images that were previously displaying correctly now fail to load after Cursor reorganized your asset or component files. Broken image icons appear where images should be.

Image paths are incorrect after the file move.

Error Messages You Might See

404 Not Found for image Broken image icon Image fails to load Path does not exist
404 Not Found for imageBroken image iconImage fails to loadPath does not exist

Common Causes

  1. Image src path not updated after files moved
  2. Relative path depth incorrect (../../assets vs ../assets)
  3. Public folder not served or path to it changed
  4. Image import removed, trying to use string path
  5. Build process changed how assets are referenced

How to Fix It

Use absolute paths from public: /images/logo.png not relative. Or import: import logo from './logo.png'; <img src={logo} />. Check DevTools Network tab for actual request 404. Verify webpack/build config serves public folder.
