Many desktop and mobile users have recently complained about images not being displayed on the website. The problem occurs during a new post upload, or while revisiting a web page. The browser, instead of showing images, displays an alternative text. While a slow or interrupted internet connection is a major cause behind unavailable photos, several other factors can lead to this error. Let’s learn how to fix the photos unavailable error using the methods shared here.<\/p>

But, first things first!<\/p>

What Causes the “Images are not available” error?<\/strong><\/h2>

To fix the “images not available” error, first determine if the problem is with your web browser\/internet or the images you are trying to load.<\/p>

The image file path is not correct:<\/strong><\/h3>

Every image is stored on the database with a unique path. These path codes guide the website’s directory when loading the images. So, if the path for an image is wrong, you can face an image display issue.<\/p>

Image is corrupted:<\/strong><\/h3>

The file structure or content gets damaged or altered when an image is corrupted<\/a>. This makes the image unreadable by your web browser, meaning the browser fails to interpret the corrupted image file and display it.  <\/p>

Wrong file extension:<\/strong><\/h3>

If the wrong name is used for the image or its extension, the image will not display on the website.<\/p>

Uploading issue:<\/strong><\/h3>

Sometimes, you may face issues when uploading an image to the website. The process may get interrupted due to network failure or any other reason.<\/p>

Service Issue:<\/strong><\/h3>

The site’s server hosting the image could be down, resulting in missing or unavailable images from its storage.<\/p>

Database-related problems:<\/strong><\/h3>

If your database, where the images are stored, is down or unavailable, your website may display bad or corrupt images.<\/p>

Other problems:<\/strong><\/h3>

If your browser has an issue, the file might not transfer entirely from its source. An unstable network connection, a virus infection, or a browser extension may block the display of those images.<\/p>
