Images Not Displaying Despite Correct Links in InDesign 2025

[Rachel320465031b4e]

I have been using InDesign 2025 for my work projects and have not been able to see images for the longest time. The images are correctly linked, and I have already reinstalled InDesign. I am unsure what steps to take to make the images pop up properly. Please let me know if you have any solutions!

Hi @Rachel320465031b4e,

I’m sorry to hear you’re having trouble with images not displaying in InDesign 2025. That can be really frustrating, especially when everything appears to be linked correctly.

Could you let me know which operating system you're using? Also, is this issue occurring with a specific file, or are you seeing it across multiple projects?

Would you mind trying to switch to a different Display Performance setting in InDesign (View > Display Performance > High Quality Display). If that doesn’t help, check your GPU settings under Preferences (Edit > Preferences > GPU Performance) and ensure it’s enabled.

If possible, could you share the InDesign file with us for testing? This might help us dig deeper into the issue.

Let me know how it goes, and we’ll troubleshoot further if needed!

Best,
Abhishek Rao

Hi Abhishek! Thank you for letting me know about the different Display Performance settings! I had no clue my settings were set to "fast display," and you helped me figure out the solution. Thank you so much!

Can you downgrade / install InDesign 2024 / v19.5?
