I am creating a portfolio using GitHub static pages and I want to display some images of projects completed and finding it difficult to do that. I know the syntax for image display but what I do not seem to get here is where to place image on GitHub and use the path to display it.

I am trying to add an image to a Github ReadmE file and have found the same answers several times on different places, the only thing is that it doesn't work for me. I tried 2 methods, first is to upload to a site and add it to Readme like this:
Which is the answer here. However, this just gives me this as result, where the link doesn't even go to my picture:
I also tried the method of putting the picture in a github folder in my project as described here, like this:
By clicking the link I do get to the folder where my image is located, but the image itself won't show in the Readme. It just shows the same broken image icon as the first method. Removing the ?raw=true had no effect.
Why is this so hard? Can someone please let me know how to add an image to Github.
The image is not shown on my GitHub page for some reason even though I can view it locally.
I have tried multiple ways but can't get it done:(
Try to change the relative path to an absolute path in the src of the image.
How to add an image that is also a link to an external page on Github's README.md?
Adding a markdown to display an image is pretty simple (answer at Add images to README.md on GitHub). Adding a link is also pretty simple (GitHub relative link in Markdown file), but it seems there's is no way to add an image that is also a link to an external site.
<img src="RELATIVE_PATH_TO_IMAGE></img>
Try simply the syntax:
[](link to your URL)
That will wrap the image as a link
Some additional syntax mixing html and markdown, giving you more flexibility in adjusting how image is displayed.
Assuming you have repo structure as follows (it just refers to relative link used in syntax below):
example repo structure
you can use
[<img alt="alt_text" width="40px" src="images/image.PNG" />](https://www.google.com/)
Structure:
[](link to your URL)
Example:
[(Youtube)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HIr0imLgxM)
The people who wrote the previous answers were overcomplicating it. This works in Markdown+HTML5 and is easy to understand when looking at the source code.
The code: [<img src="img/myImage.png">](http://example.com/),
where img/myImage.png should be replaced by the relative path to your image, and http://example.com/ should be replaced by the link you want to visit when the image is clicked.
I use GitPress to write blog.
But recently i found it can not show image, but images could be loaded in GitHub.
Here is my GitPress blog
Here is the opposite GitHub page
I've tried:
push a test.md, which only show a test image.
rename the image folders, change the way to show image in Markdown(./folder/name.png,/folder/name.png,folder/name.png).
But the test.md sometimes can show image, when i correct the format in my blog, it just won't show any image.
I am the developer of GitPress.io.
I saw your posts and found that you have replaced all images with imgur. Please follow this post if you want to show images from the repo.
Please use the followed structure for your blog:
- test.md
- test/
- image.png
and put this in test.md:
I want to show a gif in a README.md of github.
And it works fine when the target gif is small with:
<img src="targetGifUrl" width="400">
but when the gif is big, it is not showing as expected, take this gif as an example. When I add it into README.md, it just shows:
and after clicking, it shows a website with the tip
Content length exceeded
As the gif is from a third site, I can not change its size.
So, is it possible to show this big gif without saving and resizing it?
It looks like someone else had this issue before,
When I open this link in Firefox, I only get the text "Content length exceeded".
and here is the commit that fixed it.
Add gif locally
-
+<img src="/art/sample.gif?raw=true" width="200px">
Looks like all you have to do is save the gif and put it in your repository, no need to resize it, just link to the version in your repository. Notice how the width is specified and raw=true is an included parameter.
Put Gif files in the local directory on your git repo. Then call it in readme file.
For example, If you just created a folder called demo in the root directory and put demo.gif inside it. Then you can call that in your readme file like this.
Eg:
