How to fix images not being displayed on a website in Hostinger

Learn what to do if images don’t show or load properly on your website

Fix images not being displayed on a website in Hostinger, whether due to upload, path, or permissions issues.

Rule out basic causes first

Make sure you’re viewing the latest version of your website by clearing your cache. Also try disabling ad blockers and other browser extensions to rule out device-related issues.

Check common causes

If the images are still missing after clearing the cache and disabling browser extensions, check these common causes and solutions:

Causes

Solution

The image is not uploaded to the server

To ensure the file is uploaded, go to the file manager and check if the image file is there. If it’s missing, upload it.

The path or filename is incorrect

Verify that your HTML source code has the correct path to the image. Moving your website or renaming folders may cause the image link in the code to break. You can use the inspect website elements function of your browser for this.

Also, keep in mind that filenames are case-sensitive. If the title of your image file is photo.jpg, but it’s Photo.jpg in the source code, the image won’t be displayed.

The file permissions are incorrect

The folder where the image is located or the file itself may have restricted permissions. You can set them to default values by fixing file permissions.

If the issue persists

If the image is uploaded properly and the filename, path, and permissions are correct, but the problem persists, check for error messages that can help better identify the issue. You can look for errors by inspecting the image on your browser or, if it’s PHP-related, by displaying PHP error messages.
