Describe your problem
Now it is version 0.19.0, and I see the feature of "enhanced image display". I have built a knowledge base using PDF with images. How can I display images during chat when answering questions?
To see the enhanced image display effect in RAGFlow 0.19.0, make sure your knowledge base is built from PDFs that contain images. When you ask questions in chat that retrieve content referencing those images, RAGFlow will render the images directly in the chat response, not just as links or external references. This is handled automatically by the UI—images are parsed and indexed from your PDFs, and when relevant, they appear inline in chat using the new rendering logic introduced in this version (release notes).
If you’re not seeing images, double-check that:
- Your PDFs actually contain embedded images (not just scanned pages as flat images).
- The knowledge base parsing completed successfully and images were extracted (the backend uses a PDF parser to extract images and metadata) (pdf_parser.py).
- Your chat queries are retrieving knowledge base chunks that reference images (the UI will display them automatically if present).
No extra configuration is needed for basic image display—just ensure your knowledge base is set up with image-rich PDFs and retrieval is working. If you want to analyze image content (not just display), you’ll need to configure an image2text multi-module LLM, but this is not required for display alone (discussion).
To reply, just mention @dosu.
