Common reasons an image shows in a browser but not in HTML2FPDF: the converter cannot find or open the image, PHP is blocked from fetching remote URLs, the image is delivered by a script that needs a session, or the image format/placement is not supported by the old parser. is right to ask for the exact line — the final HTML you pass to the converter and the library version are crucial. also correctly noted there are different HTML->PDF implementations; behavior differs between them.

Try this quick checklist:

  • Confirm the image URL/path is reachable from the server (open it in a browser and curl it from the server). Relative paths often break; prefer a full filesystem path or a full http(s) URL.
  • For remote images, verify PHP can open URLs. Check the allow_url_fopen setting (see PHP filesystem configuration) or fetch the image locally first.
  • Save a local static JPG/PNG and reference that (permissions must allow the webserver user to read the file).
  • Avoid data: URIs and CSS background images — many older converters ignore them. If the image is produced by a script, ensure it returns an image with proper headers and no auth required.
  • If scaling/positioning is wrong, try explicit width/height attributes or let the PDF library place the image directly.

A simple pattern to make remote images local before conversion:

$img = file_get_contents('https://example.com/image.jpg');
file_put_contents(sys_get_temp_dir() . '/image.jpg', $img);

If a local static image still does not appear, include the exact HTML line and the library/version when posting (as requested). If you need more robust HTML/CSS support consider a modern converter (for example, dompdf). Also run any bundled examples in your distribution to verify the library can render images, as suggested.

Please post the exact line of code you're using.

There is more than one version of software with this name. If you are using HTML2PDF V4 from here (the best one), then the examples that come with the distribution demonstrate using images. See exemples/res/exemple00.php
