I coded a custom site and I am trying to host it on GitHub to allow for version control and beta testing before launching it.
For some reason, the website isn't displaying my images - anywhere. Even though it works great locally.
My Github
Your portfolio_final website serving the files from (austinmrobinson.github.io/) not from portfolio_final/ directory. So, to show your images perfectly use relative path (just add . before image source) instead of absolute path.
Change image source:
src="./images/service_Development.svg" instead of
src="/images/service_Development.svg"
N.B. Adding a ./ means current directory.
I'm just wondering how AdEven added pictures to the README.md hosted on GitHub without having the pictures in the repo (you can find their GitHub-project here: https://github.com/adeven/adjust_ios_sdk).
The images are hosted under https://raw.github.com/adeven/adjust_sdk/master/Resources/ios/.png and I want to know how to upload the pictures exactly like AdEven.
Thanks and Regards,
Sascha
if you look at the raw version of the file (https://raw.github.com/adeven/adjust_ios_sdk/master/README.md)
You can see how they do it.
![][drag] where you want the picture
[drag]: https://raw.github.com/adeven/adjust_sdk/master/Resources/ios/drag2.png
To define the file location.
Just replace the name and the location with your own. The raw url is direct access into the repo, so GH doesn't apply any formatting.
I solved that problem by going to github, in to my repo then creating and issue. In the text box inser the picture you would like to have in your readme.md. When you insert it in the text box it will give you the URL to your image. Simply copy the image url that it provided and insert it to your readme!
I wanted to use nvd3 examples that are live on their website: http://nvd3.org/livecode/#codemirrorNav
What should I do? The example link has multiple tabs, should I copy paste and save all those codes in one folder and open it an index.html ?
I would download their source and use the examples in their examples folder, as it's tidily set up for you to manipulate.
Source: https://github.com/novus/nvd3 (either clone or download as a .zip)
PS I would use Firefox to open them as Chrome can be really testy about using files locally and not from a webserver.
I am trying to add an image to the README.md in my repository using markdown below:
But the image is not showing when I visit my repository.
Instead the link to the image is showing up. Clicking the link will open the image in new window.
I have also tried using relative path:
But this is giving page not found error.
What is the correct markdown to display image in README.md
Both README.md and image file are in same path/directory.
What is the correct way to display an image in github README.md?
Complete content of README.md file is as below:
Voice-controlled-MP3-Player
===========================
A MP3 player which accept voice command like PLAY, PAUSE, FORWARD, etc. Using C# and Microsoft Speech API.
Updated content
Since January, 30th 2013, GitHub now supports relative links in markup documents.
This means that your code  would now work flawlessly.
As pointed by #Brad, this may also ease a scenario where the images are different in two branches, but bear the same. In that case, switching from one branch to another, would dynamically switch the image in the rendered view, thus without requiring any change to the Readme content.

Previous answer when GitHub wasn't supporting relative links
You have to use the raw url format. In your case that would be https://raw.githubusercontent.com/i-saumitra/Voice-controlled-MP3-Player/master/screenshot.jpg
This means that the correct markdown would be the following
Using this in a .mdfile on github will display the following picture ;-)
Update following your comment
where is this officialy documented that we have to use raw...i couldn't find it anywhere
This URL format is an undocumented feature of the GitHub site. This means that it could change later. If that ever happens, in order to "rediscover" the new format, click the Raw button when displaying a image. This will "open" the image in your browser. Copy the URL and Voilà!
Note: Although the repository is no longer on hosted on GitHub, I've updated the urls to reflect the new GitHub policy regarding user content
You really should use relative urls. That way they'll work better for private repos as well.
supposing your repo has latest.png inside the screenshots folder.
~B
For relative URL's to work with images, wrap it inside the paragraph tag.
I was facing the problem, especially when working with the single image.
Example:
<p>
<img src="relativePath/file.png" width="220" height="240" />
</p>
An extension to previous answers...
The image would not show for me when the line:
Was directly below a <h2></h2> line and I needed to add an empty line between them.
Hopefully this saves someone some time!
Thought I would update this for 2019 as I had trouble figuring this out for myself. I uploaded my images to a repo on GitHub, and then used the raw url of the image to import it into my markdown file. To get the raw url, click on the specific image link in GitHub so you are on the page for that specific image. To the top right of the photo, there are two buttons, "Download" and "History". If you click "Download", it takes you to that raw url with the picture taking up the full screen. Copy that url, and then paste it like this in your markdown file:
The button used to say "Raw" not "Download" so I hope this helps people find it.
This may not be relevant to previous answers. I have the same question as the OP - I was directed here and it didnt help me. I hope I can help add light to this question however - as it covers the possibilities of why images does not render in README.md file.
The issue I encountered is that the file name README.md file is written as readME
Not only its missing .md its also written differently.
Apparently, we should not rename the README.md file. It has to be the original name of that file in order to render the images or gifs you want to upload on github README.md page. Hope this helps someone, in rare of occasions, just like I did.
Check the file extensions because .png is not the same as .PNG.
Also use / instead of \ while specifying the file path.
Side note, when using reStructuredText use:
.. image:: /screenshots/latest.png?raw=true
I've tested with "Copy path" and in some locations this was working and in others it didn't.
In the cases it didn't, I copied the permalink and used it instead.
It doesn;t work when there are any html tags just above the line where image is being imported. You can try removing the html code or add some blank lines for the image to show on Readme.
This is just to help someone who is still having issues with image rendering in README.md:
If your image is named Some Name.png and you are trying to attach it in the README.md like , it won't work. The image has to be saved without any spaces in the file name.
So Some_Name.png with  will work.
Make sure you check the case of the file extension. They have to match (either capital or lowercase). If you have my_image.PNG in your root directory and you add  to your README file, it will not work. For some reason, Windows likes to capitalize file extensions sometimes. Unfortunately, Git does not recognize extension case so if you try to fix it by just changing the file name, you won't be able to commit the changes to the repo since Git will think everything is up to date. So you either have to update README.md or do some workaround like moving the file out of the directory, making a commit, then editing the file name then moving it back and doing another commit.
I had to add a <br> to return a line in order for the image to show on mine. This discovery was inspired by the comment in this thread to leave a blank line after a tag.
my question is incredibly simple yet I haven't been able to find an answer online. I made a small image in photoshop and am trying to incorporate it in my current website. I don't know how to get the image into dreamweaver into the image folder in the dreamweaver panel.
You can copy the image into the image directory of your root folder and simply add the markup where you want to add the image.
<img src = "[your image link]" />
Or simply add the images using the files panel- Insert->Images->Select your image then press ok.
try the following
1- ctrl + Alt + I and choose your image from the dialog
2- copy manually the image you created to the website directory on your hard drive
hope this hepls!
Your image folder should be stored locally on your machine in your site-root folder.
In Photoshop: Save for Web Devices, Navigate to the Root Folder where your site is stored, Open Image Folder and Save Image in that location.
In Dreamweaver: Go to Files Panel, hit refresh button and the image should now appear in the images folder.
The easiest way to do this by far is too put your cursor on the part of the page you'd like you picture to reside.
Then using the top menus click "Insert" and then "Image", once you have done this you'll be able to find your image on your local computer or network and you will be prompted to save it to your site with the site directory already up - then just choose where to save your file.
It's best practice to save all images into the images folder.
Hope that helps!
