Images have to be served by a URL. Something like `![My-Image](https://example.com/image.png)`.

There is a suggestion here that may help.

The path you put in there needs to load on its own for it to work right. src/ui/public isn't really the right place to drop files, that's where plugin code goes, and static files are not served from that path. In fact, I don't think there's any path that Kibana will serve static assets from. You'll need some oth…

I have used another path (most recent, I guess):

_\<kb\_home\>/src/legacy/ui/public/assets/favicons/\<custom\_folder\>_

_http://\<kb\_host\>:\<kb\_port\>/ui/favicons/\<custom\_folder\>/\<custom\_image\>.png_

Thank you for your help Nick!

Hi,

in order to embed an image directly in the Markdown visualization you can use the „trick“ given in chapter „Embedding images“ on this website: [https://logz.io/blog/kibana-hacks/](https://logz.io/blog/kibana-hacks/)

Please be aware that there are size limitations for images embedded using this way.
