The best solution is to provide a path relative to the folder where the md document is located.

Probably a browser is in trouble when it tries to resolve the absolute path of a local file. That can be solved by accessing the file trough a webserver, but even in that situation, the image path has to be right.

Having a folder at the same level of the document, containing all the images, is the cleanest and safest solution. It will load on GitHub, local, local webserver.

images_folder/img.jpg  < works


/images_folder/img.jpg  < this will work on webserver's only (please read the note!)

Using the absolute path, the image will be accessible only with a url like this: http://hostname.doesntmatter/image_folder/img.jpg

You may find following the syntax similar to reference links in markdown handy  especially when you have a text with many displays of the same image    optional text description of the image  number    number   URL  For example       1     This is an optional description  2       1    home jerzy ComputerScience Parole Screenshot 2020-10-13 11-53-29 png  2    home jerzy ComputerScience Parole Screenshot 2020-10-13 11-53-30 png

To my knowledge  for VSCode on Linux  the local image can be normally displayed only when you put the image into the same folder as your  md post file  i e  only     image jpg  or       image jpg  will work  Even the absolute path like      home bala image jpg also doesn t work

Adding a local image worked for me by like so    alt text  file   IMG 20181123 115829 jpg   Without the file    prefix it did not work  Win10  Notepad   with MarkdownViewer   addon   Edit  I found out it also works with html tags  and that is way better   lt img src  file   IMG 20181123 115829 jpg  alt  alt text  width  200   gt   Edit2  In Atom editor it only works without the file    prefix  What a mess

Either put the image in the same folder as the markdown file or use a relative path to the image

Another possibility for not displayed local image is unintentional indent of the image reference - spaces before   alt text  file    This makes it  code block  instead of  image inclusion   Just remove the leading spaces
