Where Stock Images are stored in SharePoint Online
- Aug 09, 2022
karen_dredske Stock images used in page banner or in image web parts are not stored in site assets library.
These images are hosted on public CDN by Microsoft & displayed using CDN URL.
For example, the image highlighted below is displayed using CDN URL as below:
Images uploaded from your computer will be stored in Site Assets library.

- karen_dredskeAug 15, 2022Steel ContributorThank you ganeshsanap. This is what I was looking for. The unfortunate part is that I can see from your image that one has to find the URL using developer tools in their browser - which is not a user friendly way for a business user to find it in order to use the image again in the future if the image they want doesn't appear when they enter a key word.

karen_dredske I agree with your point. User should be able to reuse the previously used stock images.
Either there should be an option to store images in site assets or search images using specific keywords in future also.
I would suggest you to submit the feedback/idea for this on SharePoint feedback portal: SharePoint feedback portal

ganeshsanap Had the same question, right clicking on the image, copy link will give you the URL (in my case), however, that doesn't help me as when I try to use it in a page with 'From link' I get the error message 'we only support links from within your organisation' because the images are stored in a CDN which is global
