the react docs explain this nicely in the documentation  you have to use process env PUBLIC URL with images placed in the public folder  See here for more info  return  lt img src  process env PUBLIC URL     img logo png     gt

We know React is SPA  Everything is rendered from the root component by  expanding to appropriate HTML from JSX   So it does not matter where you want to use the images  Best practice is to use an absolute path  with reference to public   Do not worry about relative  paths   In your case  this should work everywhere      images logofooter png

You should use webpack here to make your life easier  Add below rule in your config   const srcPath   path join   dirname         publicfolder    const rules       const includePaths       srcPath          handle images     rules push         test      png gif jpe g svg ico           include  includePaths        use             loader   file-loader           options              name   images  name - hash   ext                       After this  you can simply import the images into your react components   import myImage from  publicfolder images Image1 png    Use myImage like below    lt div gt  lt img src  myImage   gt  lt  div gt    or if the image is imported into local state of component   lt div gt  lt img src  this state myImage   gt  lt  div gt

To reference images in public there are two ways I know how to do it straight forward   One is like above from Homam Bahrani   using        lt img src  process env PUBLIC URL     yourPathHere jpg     gt     And since this works you really don t need anything else but  this also works          lt img src  window location origin     yourPathHere jpg     gt

1- It s good if you use webpack for configurations but you can simply use image path and react will find out that that it s in public directory    lt img src   image jpg  gt    2- If you want to use webpack which is a standard practice in React  You can use these rules in your webpack config dev js file   module      rules                test      jpe g gif png svg   i        use                        loader   url-loader             options                limit  10000                                               then you can import image file in react components and use it   import image from        public images logofooter png    lt img src  image   gt

You don t need any webpack configuration for this    In your component just give image path  By default react will know its in public directory    lt img src   image jpg  alt  image    gt
