3 Ways to Fix Broken Captionless Image in Google Form

I was filling out a Google form with numerous tables last week. I encountered a broken captionless image in Chrome while filling out the form, and I could not submit the Google Form because the image was not loading.

I tried looking for a solution on Google, but finally I solved the issue after deep research. In this blog post, we’ll highlight three ways to fix the broken captionless image in Google Forms.
