It looks like you're using a graphics or design program (possibly CraftArtist or Serif DrawPlus) on Windows 11, and when trying to view or import photos from a folder (possibly synced with OneDrive), you're seeing blank white page icons over the images — like A4 sheets covering them.
If OneDrive is managing the folder (like "Pictures" or "Documents"), it may only store the files online until you open them. So you're seeing placeholders — not the actual image files.
Some fix point you can try.
Problem Fix
Blank/A4 icons over images Use “Always keep on this device” in OneDrive
Image files not visible in app Move images to a local folder outside OneDrive
Thumbnails not showing Enable them in Folder Options
My answer is without guarantee
Maybe this will help you a little
