Image Webpart that is not clickable. How to remove link?

Hello,

I’d like to thank you in advanced for your assistance.

I’d think something so basic would be easy to figure out, but I’ve been breaking my head with this all week and I’m now at a dead end.

I have a normal page in a communication site and I would like to add an image without a link and which is not clickable. Just an image to be displayed. I’m currently using the image we parts but although I do not add a link, the user can still click on it, and the image enlarges. How do I disable this,

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it.

    It used to be that images in text web parts weren't clickable. Now they are, which is awful.

    The image web part should include a on/off toggle to make the image clickable - because when clickable the cursor changes which signals the user that clicking will take them somewhere.  Sometimes we just want to display an image.  UX 101... this should be an easy and fast fix.  Comments for a year now. 😕

      Thank you all for your replies. This is not possible as of now using SharePoint OOTB functionalities.

       

      This is much anticipated feature by many customers & it should be implemented by Microsoft.

       

      I have created a new idea/feedback on SharePoint feedback portal for the same problem. I would request you all to vote on this idea so that Microsoft will notice it & implement it in near future.

        ganeshsanap there is a way using the markdown webpart as shown in this thread https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/786164/how-do-i-remove-graident-hover-effect-from-linksim.html

         

        Extract below - 

        Please try to use markdown webpart to add a picture. You can insert a linked picture like this:

        ![Alt Text](url/of/the/picture)]

         

        This does mean uploading any images to a library on your site and then copying the url but seems to get round the issue of the image being clickable

    This is really quite frustrating that such a simple functionality doesn't exist. How hard is it to just add a toggle that says "no link"

      Sadly, I don't think this is possible OOTB.
