[Answered ]-Django load static tag not showing image

Your static tag isn’t closed, but also, STATIC_ROOT must be an absolute path to a directory where collectstatic can copy all the static files to.

So typically you’ll have settings;

import os

BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(__file__))

STATIC_URL = "/static/"
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "staticfiles")

To close your tag;

        {% load static %}
        <img src="{% static 'myapp/mini.jpg' %}" alt="My image"/>
