It's working fine for me. Please share a minimal reproducible example.

If you're referencing that image from frontmatter then you need to keep it in public directory.

Hi Divyansh,

sorry, but you are right.

I am refering the image from vue instead md in this case i missunderstood, that only md referenced images will be copied.

I will switch over using /public folder in such cases.

Sorry for that!

Best regards Holger

For vue too it should work fine without moving files to public unless you're using dynamic source.
