Issue with Images Not Displaying in Power BI Service from Public Website

Hi romae,

Thank you Mauro89 for your answer.

One possible reason is website security restrictions. Although the image website may be public, Power BI Service loads reports from Microsoft’s cloud, and some sites block images from being displayed outside their domain. This can result in images working in Desktop but not in the Service.

It’s also important to check if the image URLs change or redirect. If the link uses redirects (such as HTTP to HTTPS) or dynamic parameters, Power BI Service might not load the image after publishing, even if it works locally.

Additionally, large images or unstable hosting may cause problems. If many images are loaded at once or the hosting site restricts requests, the Service may not show them correctly.

If the issue continues and only a few images are involved, you can store images as Base64 in the data model. This avoids relying on external websites and tends to work reliably in Power BI Service.

These points cover the typical causes and are appropriate for sharing in the forum.

Thank you,

I discovered that my browser was blocking the picture, and when I changed my settings to allow access to the local network, I could see the image. Thanks for the help!
