Image memory usage optimization

[Nikita_A]

Hi, everyone!

Has anyone tried storing a lot of images in a Power BI Report and if so, how did you optimize memory usage?
I have 160-something CLM-slide-screenshots stored in the web and a range of metrics for each slide. I need to make a BI-report with all the data and I'm using the Card Browser to visualise the images. Image import works as intended but the critical problem is: despite the images being pretty small in size, there's just too many of them and the report keeps running out of memory and crashing. I tried showing only top 10 images by this or that metric but it makes the report only so stable.

What are the possible ways of solving that? Any alternatives to importing images with the URL? I've been searching for a long time but could not find a solution. Maybe some different software that would still functionality similar to those of Power BI but with better support for images?

Any help would be very much appreciated!

Hi, @Nikita_A 

Based on your description, I'd like to suggest you use 'Performance Analyzer' in Power BI Desktop. Using the Performance Analyzer, you can see and record logs that measure how each of your report elements performs when users interact with them, and which aspects of their performance are most (or least) resource intensive. 

For further information, you may refer to the following link.
