📷 How to Embed an Image in Jupyter Notebook

So, you want to add some visual flair to your Jupyter Notebook by embedding images? 🤔 No worries, we've got you covered! In this guide, we'll walk you through step-by-step on how to embed images in your notebook, whether they are stored locally or on the web. 😎

Common Issue: 404 Error when Embedding Images in Markdown Cells

When trying to include images in a Markdown cell using the following code:

![title]("img/picture.png")

You might encounter a 404 error, indicating that the image file cannot be found. 🚫 This is because the Markdown syntax for embedding images should not include quotation marks around the title. Let's fix that! 👇

Solution 1: Embedding Images from a Local Machine

To embed an image stored locally, you can use the following code in a code cell:

from IPython.display import Image

Image("img/picture.png")

➡️ However, if you prefer to use Markdown, you can do the following in a Markdown cell:

![title](img/picture.png)

Make sure that the relative path to the image file is correct. If the image is stored in a subfolder called img, like in the example above, ensure that the file path matches the folder structure.

Solution 2: Embedding Images from a Web Resource

If you want to embed an image from a web resource, you have a couple of options. Firstly, you can use Markdown to directly embed the image using the following code in a Markdown cell:

![title](http://example.com/image.png)

Make sure to replace http://example.com/image.png with the actual URL of the image. Verify that the URL is correct and accessible.

If the Markdown syntax does not work for any reason, you can also use HTML tags to embed the image in a Markdown cell:

<img src="http://example.com/image.png" alt="Image Title">

Again, replace http://example.com/image.png with the correct image URL.

Conclusion and Call-to-Action

Now that you know how to embed images in Jupyter Notebook, it's time to get creative! 🎉 Visualize your data, enhance your explanations, and make your notebooks more engaging. Don't be afraid to experiment with different image formats, sizes, and sources.
