How to Fix Google Chrome Not Loading Images

1. Update Google Chrome

You can encounter a variety of issues, such as the browser failing to load photos if you are using an older version of Google Chrome. While Chrome automatically updates, you may update it manually to give it a chance to resolve issues and make sure you don't miss any new features.

Click the three dots in the top-right corner of the screen to upgrade your browser. Go to Help > About Google Chrome after that. Chrome will show the "Chrome is up to date" message or apply any newly available updates.

Continue with the following fixes if your issue is not the result of an older Chrome version.

2. Use Incognito window

It might prevent pictures from loading if a browser extension conflicts with it. Use incognito mode to try this the most effectively. Press Ctrl + Shift + N to open the three-dot menu and choose the New Incognito window.

You need to have a look at the installed extensions if Chrome loads pictures. You may remove all extensions and then add them back one at a time. In this approach, you may identify the extension that stops Chrome from correctly showing photos.

You can make your own Google Chrome extension if you need to disable one that you often use and can't locate a substitute.

3. Check Chrome's Site Settings

By looking at Chrome settings, we'll continue troubleshooting the issue. There's a risk you unintentionally modified the privacy settings if you notice broken picture icons. Checking this out is as follows:

1. Open Chrome's menu and head to Settings.
2. From the left pane, click Privacy and security.
3. Click Site Settings > Images.
4. Select the Sites can show pictures option under Default behavior. Additionally, make sure you haven't added any websites to the "Not permitted to show pictures" list under the Customized behaviors area.

4. Allow Sites to Use Javascript

Among other features, web developers utilize JavaScript to add visual components to websites. If Chrome is configured to no longer use JavaScript, it can have issues loading pictures. Take the following actions to reactivate JavaScript:

1. Navigate to chrome://setings.
2. Head to Privacy and security > Site Settings.
3. From the Content section, click JavaScript.
4. Set Default behavior to Sites that can use Javascript.
5. Check if Chrome shows images.

5. Delete Data from Chrome's Cache

The majority of browsers employ cache information to speed up loading. However, if this data is compromised in any way, the browser may be rendered useless. So it's worthwhile to try emptying your browser's cache to solve your issue.

6. Change the Data Folder's name

Images could have stopped loading in Chrome due to damaged files in the data folder. Renaming the current data folder to cause Chrome to generate a new one is the simplest solution.

Pressing the Windows key and R will open the Run dialog box if you are running Windows 10. Enter the command %appdata%. Go to Google > Chrome > User Data next. Find and rename the Default folder there.

Although it might be challenging to pinpoint the exact cause of file corruption, you should examine your whole system for damaged or corrupted files if the problem persists.

7. Reset Google Chrome

It's time to restart Chrome if you've done everything and it's still having trouble loading pictures. By doing that, you will eliminate all extensions, cache, and history. Your bookmarks and passwords will be preserved by Chrome, so you won't have to worry about losing access to vital websites.

This is how to restart Chrome:

1. Go to chrome://settings.
2. Select Reset and clean up from the left pane.
3. Click Restore settings to their original defaults > Reset settings.

Restore Images in Google Chrome

We hope that one or more of the solutions in our guide was useful in fixing the issue. If you've tried using different browsers and run into the same issue, look further. Run a virus check and examine your internet connection, OS version, drivers, and driver updates.

Chrome may have trouble loading graphics if your machine is older since it requires more resources. In this situation, you should change to a web browser that is built to operate without issue on dated hardware and software.
