Photos in apps covered up

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
