Image path issues are one of the most common LaTeX build blockers.

​
Typical Errors

  • File 'figure1' not found
  • Cannot determine size of graphic
  • Unknown graphics extension

​
Fix Workflow

  1. Confirm file exists in project tree.
  2. Use relative paths from main file.
  3. Match extension compatibility with compiler.
  4. Avoid spaces in filenames.

​
Example

image-paths.tex
\usepackage{graphicx}
\graphicspath{{figures/}{images/}}

% Good
\includegraphics[width=0.7\textwidth]{architecture.pdf}
