Body

I tried to add a screenshot in my .md file which i have created in VS code and pushed it to github. I am able to view it properly in my Github desktop version. Meanwhile if i try to try viewing it in my iphone (in Github mobile app) the images aren't being rendered properlly

Need a solution for it at the earliest please
Even tried the solution in the below link that is not working - https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/70557

This happened to me a while ago too did you make sure your image path is relative to the Markdown file? like "" instead of an absolute link

Github mobile's picky with spaces or capital letters in image file names so maybe double check that too?

If it still doesn’t display then try opening the same .md file in your mobile browser (not the app) to see if its just the app not rendering your inline images properly.

It’s not an issue with your Markdown syntax, more of a limitation in the app’s current rendering engine I think. Good luck :)

hey @s4096770 , first of all thanks for the response
Yes i get the exact (?) hyperlink with a rectangular box while trying to view the image in my github mobile (from my iphone)
But once when i try to login to github through safari browser and open the same .md file, i am able to view the images clearly

i just gave a small image in my .md file like this - ""
Even i tried with "" - even this is not working when i viewed it through phone application
(but in other platforms it is working fine)

Since it’s working on Safari but not in the app it’s definitely an app-specific rendering issue, not your Markdown.

The mobile app currently doesn’t support inline image rendering for all file paths, even relative ones.
You can try a small workaround by using the raw file URL, like this:

""

That should display properly across all devices.

Otherwise, viewing .md files through Safari (or the desktop version) is the only consistent fix for now :/

Hopefully the mobile renderer gets updated soon!

Mine is with my android device. After uploading a jpg image on my repo, i tried to show this image on my README .Md but it's not rendering the image. I don't know if this is how it behaves on mobile because i didn't use the app, i used chrome browser instead. Could anyone suggest any solution please

Just try to use the relative directory, instead of using the absolute path of the image in your markdown
