Internet Explorer does not display any pictures - this may be the reason
If Internet Explorer suddenly stops displaying images, there can be several reasons. In this practical tip, we will show you how to fix the error.
No pictures in IE: Activate picture display in Internet Explorer
It is possible that you have accidentally deactivated the image display in Internet Explorer. The setting can be quickly undone.
- Click the gear icon in the top right. Then select "Internet Options".
- Go to the "Advanced" tab. There, look for "Show pictures" in the "Multimedia" area and tick the appropriate box. Then click on the OK button.
Internet Explorer: The compatibility view helps with image problems
If the website with the images is not optimized for your version of Internet Explorer, you can call up the page in compatibility mode. Simply click on the corresponding symbol in the address bar or follow these steps.
- Click the gear icon in the top right. Then select "Compatibility View Settings".
- In the "Add the following website" field, enter the address of the website with the images not displayed. Then click on "Add" and close the window.
Tracking protection prevents images from being displayed
- In some cases, it also helps to deactivate the tracking protection of Internet Explorer.
- To do this, click the gear icon in the top right. Then select "Security" first and then "Disable tracking protection".
No images due to ActiveX filtering in Internet Explorer
- Activating ActiveX filtering can also mean that not all images are displayed correctly in Internet Explorer.
- You can deactivate the function by clicking on the gear icon in the top right. Then move the mouse pointer over "Security" and then select "ActiveX filtering".
No pictures in Internet Explorer: Further suggested solutions
- Right-click in the area where the image should be and select "Show image" from the context menu.
- Clear the Internet Explorer browser cache.
- Reset Internet Explorer to the default settings. You can find more information in the video above.
- You can't always fix the problem yourself. The images may really not be available. Try a different browser. If the images are missing here, there is probably a problem with the website.
