I attached two photo's. One of the view within PBI online report and one from the exported PDF FileExported PDF fileExported PDF filePowerBI Report viewPowerBI Report view

 

Does anyone know how to solve this?

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Domstadfoppe ,

 

Based on the information you provided, I did a simple test and the images in the PDF display properly.
If the images require authentication or have access restrictions, they may not render in the exported PDF. Please make sure the image URLs are publicly accessible.
Sometimes browser or network settings may interfere with image rendering. Try using a different browser or exporting the PDF from a different network to eliminate these factors.

You can also review the following documentation to ensure that the report meets these guidelines.

In addition, the following link had the similar problem as yours. Please refer to it and see if it helps you.

Solved: Images from URLs are not shown when exporting to P... - Microsoft Fabric Community

This was indeed the problem. I tried using a photo from internet and it worked.
